Newcrest Mining (ASX:NCM) has completed the sale of its Coalstoun copper-gold project in Queensland to ActivEX Limited (ASX:AIV) for $200,000.

The Coalstoun tenement has synergies with ActivEX’ existing southeast Queensland projects.

390.7 metres at 0.30% copper from surface, and 420.6 metres at 0.30% copper from 6.1 metres.

The Coalstoun tenement also contains several gold targets including the Southeast Breccia and Staib’s Hill prospects, where intersections include 23 metres at 0.81g/t gold from 423 metres, and 80 metres at 0.38g/t gold from surface.
