Stonewall’s chairman Bill Guy said: “Stonewall’s exploration ground position and current resource base are unique for a junior explorer.
“I was attracted by the geology and the scalability of the project. The multiple flat lying high-grade gold seams offer excellent drill targets.
“The lack of modern exploration in goldfields this size would simply not happen in Australia.
“Stonewall is at the beginning of exploring a long life asset with numerous historical mines untested by drilling.”
