Platina’s Beete Gold Project is located in  a historical high-grade mining district near Norseman, and 10km south of Scotia gold deposit. Recent gold discoveries to the south highlight region’s significant potential.

The project’s Exploration Licence Application is located 50 km south
of Norseman and covers 134 square kilometres with access from the Coolgardie to Esperance Highway.

Historically, the region has hosted a number of high-grade gold mines while recent exploration conducted by other mining companies has returned high-grade gold and rare earth results. Pantoro Limited’s (ASX: PNR) Scotia deposit (0.9 Mozs) is located 12km north of Beete. The Scotia deposit forms part of the broader Norseman Gold Project which contains 4.78Moz Au of mineral resources (inclusive of the Scotia Centre resource).

 In May 2024, an aircore drilling program begun and it is expected it will take four to five weeks to complete over approximately 200 holes providing full coverage of a 20km strike of north-south trending geology.

The tenement-wide program will test geophysics and geochemical targets which are believed to be hidden under a shallow blanket of cover.

Historical gold production at the Beete project occurred from 1958-165, 1968, 1974 and 1976 (no-production record pre-1974).

Historical production totalled 2,816 tonnes @ 24.8 g/t yielding 2,300 Oz with 7 mine shafts identified in total.

Historical reverse circulation (RC) drilling (mostly <50m depth) on the same structural strike to the south of the tenement, reported the following Au hits:

• 1m @ 5.8g/t
• 10m @ 1.7g/t
• 4m @ 2.7g/t
• 3m @2.32g/t
