Approval was granted by the NT Minister for Lands, Planning and Environment, the Honourable Joshua Burgoyne, for the amended MMP submitted on 13 December 2023. Environmental approval for the project was granted on 17 February 2023 under the NT Environment Protection Act 2019.

The approval of the MMP represents a key regulatory milestone, allowing the Fountain Head Gold Project to advance towards development.

As outlined in its recent activities update on 28 October (see Patronus ASX release 28 October 2024), Patronus has embarked on a 2,500m program of reverse circulation and diamond drilling to extend and upgrade the current 234koz Resource base at the Fountain Head Gold Project, which comprises the Fountain Head (96koz), Tally Ho (59koz) and Glencoe (79koz) gold deposits. Further drilling and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate are planned for 2025.

Patronus Resources’ CEO, John Ingram, said:

“We are delighted with the timely receipt of the MMP approval from Minister Burgoyne, and I would like to thank the NT Government for their efficient management and oversight of this process, which demonstrates their ongoing commitment to support the development of new resource projects in the Territory.

“This is an important regulatory approval which allows us to move the Fountain Head Project forward. We are looking forward to receiving assay results from the current RC drilling at Glencoe and the imminent commencement of diamond drilling at Fountain Head, as part of a new phase of work aimed at expanding and upgrading the current resources to inform future development scenarios.”
