Platina has recently shared a new investor presentation that highlights the Company’s development across various projects and assets. This article highlights everything you need to know about Platina Resources’ latest investor presentation.
Platina Resources Financial Standing
As of August 15, 2022, the Platina share price showed a 52-week high of AUD 0.08 and a low of AUD 0.025. Since its listing in May 2006, Platina has issued 523 million shares. Platina has a market capitalisation of AUD 16.7 million and currently ranks 576th out of 912 companies in the Basic Materials sector. As of August 12, 2022, Platina had AUD 4.7 million in investments and AUD 2.9 million in cash.
Expanding footprints in Western Australia
Platina Resources has signed a conditional binding term sheet to acquire 100% of three projects owned by Sangold Resources Pty Ltd (ASX: SLR). The three projects covered under the term sheet include:
Brimstone Project
The Brimstone Gold Project is located 40km northeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The high-grade, near-surface gold project is highly prospective for greenstone rocks. The project includes 10 tenements covering a total of 70km2. The project includes five prospecting licenses, three exploration licenses (one granted, two pending), one mining license, and one miscellaneous license.
The six walk-up drilling targets at the Brimstone Project location in Western Australia.
The project has seen historic drilling and includes over 964 holes, most holes less than 50m in depth. The project has seen a historic expenditure of approximately AUD 5 million. However, no systematic tenement-wide exploration campaign has been conducted as a follow-up. Only a few drill intercepts have seen follow-up drilling.

Beete Project
The Beete Gold Project is located 50km south of Norseman, Western Australia. The project tenement is believed to be an extension of the Norseman Greenstone Belt, which has seen historic gold production of approximately 5.5 Moz. The project includes an exploration license spanning approximately 139km2.

The project has seen historical exploration between 1993 and 2002, first by J & L Morton and then by Pan Australia Exploration. Arum Resources and Meeka Gold have recently made discoveries in their tenements, both of which are south of the Beete Gold Project, which has highlighted the potential of the tenement. Meeka Gold has also made successful discoveries of rare earth metals, following which Beete tenement will also be screened for the same.
Binti Binti Project
Binti Binti Project is located approximately 50km northeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The project includes two exploration licenses spanning 68.2km2. The project tenement has seen little to no exploration because the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GWSA) has previously abled the tenement as granite. However, Sangold Resources’ geologists have recently reinterpreted the geology which represents the ideal contrast for gold precipitation.

The acquisition of Sangold Resources is subject to due diligence which expires on 31st October 2022.
