Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX:EVN) has entered into an earn-in joint venture agreement with Enterprise Metals Limited (ASX:ENT) over the Murchison exploration project in WA.
The project is prospective for archaean greenstone gold deposits and encompasses poorly tested continuations of the Big Bell and Cuddingwarra shear zones, which host multi-million-ounce gold deposits at Big Bell, Cuddingwarra and Mount Magnet.
Evolution vice president discovery and business development Glen Masterman said: “Murchison is a compelling exploration project in a well-endowed gold district and presents a rare opportunity in which the most prospective areas remain poorly tested under shallow cover.”
