Beete Gold Project.
The Project
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 139 square kilometres with access from the Coolgardie to Esperance Highway.
Beete is located in a historical mining district with a number of small high-grade gold mines, and is thought to be a possible extension of the Norseman
Greenstone Belt which had a historical gold production of approximately 5.5 Mozs.
Recent discoveries to the south by Aruma Resources and Meeka Gold highlight gold potential, with Rare earth potential to be screened following Meeka Gold success.

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