Curwon is a copper exploration company. We have identified what we believe to be a commercial deposits with sufficient scale to appeal to international investors.

Privately owned and registered in Queensland, Australia, Curwon was attracted to this area following a previous four year exploration program in the early 1990’s that culminated the drilling of a number of drill exploratory holes. Little activity since this period.

We have four exploration permits, totalling 131,517 hectares that are centred on our Curwon copper deposit. Our first field work having commenced during the 2021 dry season, within EPM 27633. We subsequently performed an airborne geophysics survey of the area with encouraging results that identified a number of drill sites. All of the areas contained with these four permits, lie within the Astrea & Strathburn Pastoral Stations.

North of the Curwon permits in the Lochinvar Goldfields, lies our Thornbury Gold and Graphite Block permit area.

The Goose Creek permit area lies 25 km SW of Coen. Quartz reef-quartz vein structures are seen in over 2 km of strike length at Thornbury prospect and include results of 114 g/t Au in outcrop and 4 m @ 35.8 g/t Au in channel sampling.

A bulk sample of 23 tonnes collected at Thornbury in the late 1980s averaged 14.3g/t Au and led to a pre-JORC indicated resource estimate of 72,800 t @ 2.75 g/t Au in northern sections of the Thornbury prospect to a nominal 30m depth. The reef, hosted in schists and gneiss remains open at depth.

A nearby historic alluvial resource has been estimated at Thornbury Creek ranging from 120,000m³ to 200,000m³ at an average recovered grade of 0.7g/m³ Au with a monazite content estimated at 4-5 kg/m³. Other areas of interest include over 20km² exposure of a Devonian allanite-bearing monzogranite, patches of aluminous laterite duricrust in the west which include bauxite and the petrographic confirmation of >5% graphite in a drillhole testing a prominent regional aeromagnetic anomaly.
