Pacgold says it has discovered shallow oxide gold near the Vertigo pit at its White Dam gold operation in South Australia. The company reports that the new mineralisation sits at relatively shallow depths, which it says can support a faster and lower-cost restart of the mine. Multiple outlets describe the find as “shallow oxide gold” adjacent to the Vertigo pit, and note that it may allow Pacgold to use existing site infrastructure rather than building from scratch. The reports frame the update as putting the operation on a “fast track” toward restarting production, with the emphasis placed on cost and timing benefits from the shallower ore. While the articles repeat the same core details—the location of the find, its oxide nature, and the potential restart implications—they do not provide additional figures such as resource estimates, production targets, or a revised timetable. Overall, the sources agree that the discovery is a key development in Pacgold’s plan to resume operations at White Dam by leveraging existing facilities and targeting more accessible ore.
