Hub & Spoke Development Model

Two New Discoveries Paving the Way

Two New Mines Being Developed

Pragmatic, efficient, within Transition’s fiscal reach

Mine 1 : Duck Creek Copper Project

Phase 1
Mine, haul, and toll treat.

Phase 2
Mine and process through onsite concentrator.

Mine 2 : Highway Gold and Critical Metals Project

Phase 1
Mine, haul, gravity process, toll treat.

Develop concurrently with the Duck Creek Copper Project, to facilitate asset sharing and efficiencies. 

Important mines and mineral occurances

Duck Creek Copper Project (DCCP) is approximately 2.3km by unsealed road from the all-weather (sealed) Cloncurry-Duchess Road, which intersects with the Barkly Highway approximately 35km by road to the north.

The regional township of Cloncurry is just 10km east of this intersection along the Barkly Highway which continues around 800km east to Townsville on the east coast of Queensland. From DCCP to Cloncurry is an estimated total of 47.3km of predominately sealed all-weather road, resulting in an approximate driving time from the centre of the town of around 40 minutes.

Operating mines within a 100km radius are shown.

Important Existing Infrastructure

Large regional township of Cloncurry

Accomodation, services and amenities, including community centres, schools, health care facilities, and more.

Mining areas accessed by sealed all weather roads, and national rail.

Proposed Copperstring 2.0 traverses mine areas.

Township serviced by jet airport.

Transport and Toll Treating Options​

The Highway Gold and Critical Metals Project, and the Duck Creek Copper Project are surrounded by numerous local concentrators and the Mount Isa smelter either by road or rail.

Local concentrators with excess processing capacity and are actively sourcing sulphide copper ore from regional mines. 

Simple Metallurgy​

The Duck Creek Copper Project ore types are dominated by quartz-hosted sulphide ore types, including, chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite. 

The ore includes no contaminants, deletrious or penalty elements. 

Cloncurry Exploration Facility

Operations are based at the Cloncurry Exploration Facility. With office and accommodation, core and sample storage, core cutting facility and mechanical workshop, Transition is well placed and equipped for efficient exploration and drilling project management.
