Discover the untapped potential of Australia's forgotten gold districts as Cosmo Metals makes a strategic leap into New South Wales. Managing Director Ian Prentice reveals how the company's acquisition of the Bingara and Nundle projects could transform their prospects in the precious and base metals space.

The conversation takes us deep into the geological significance of these newly acquired assets, situated within the New England Orogen – a vast mineral province that has historically yielded 35 million ounces of gold but remains surprisingly underexplored. What makes this opportunity particularly compelling is the scale: with nearly 500 square kilometres at Bingara and 260 square kilometres at Nundle, these truly represent district-scale exploration plays that haven't seen modern exploration techniques applied in over three decades.

Ian's excitement is palpable as he describes the commodity mix of gold, copper, and antimony across these projects, highlighting historical drill results like six metres at six grams per tonne gold from surface that have never been properly followed up. The comparison to world-class deposits like Mount Morgan (multi-million ounces gold plus 360,000 tonnes copper) demonstrates the scale of targets Cosmo is pursuing. Through cutting-edge exploration techniques including LiDAR and Sub-Audio Magnetics surveys, the company is rapidly building a modern understanding of these forgotten mineral districts.
