Federation Mining

COMMUNITY | Great to be able to host one of the local community groups who we are able to support for a tour of site. The Friends of Waiuta group promote the protection of mining heritage on the West Coast and have been great supporters of the Snowy River Project. #federationmining #miningnz #friendsofwaiuta

COMMUNITY | Our team are part of the West Coast community so we try to support local events that bring the community together be it sport, social, the arts, emergency prepardness or the environment. Last week we proudly sponsored the Reefton annual harness races and glamour in the goldfields. Well done to the organising committee on delivering another great community event. Happy New Year. #federationmining #goldmining #community

XMAS AT SNOWY | Thank you to our Mining crews, Alton Drilling Limited, HMR Drilling | Mining | Raiseboring and Number 1 Electrical for keeping the drills turning and project progressing today. GM Michael Veale and Sustainabilty Manager Mark Brown were onsite and cooked the team lunch. Merry Christmas to all. 🎄🎅🏻 #federationmining #nzmining #goldmining

CHRISTMAS REEF | Just prior to Christmas last year in a diamond drill hole SRD067, we intersected a reef with visible gold about 50m to the west of the Birthday Reef. Initially our Geology team thought it was a fault repetition of the Birthday Reef, however additional drilling throughout this year has demonstrated that this is another reef position in its own right. The team has now drilled over 12 holes into this reef and can trace it up to 200m along strike and 300m down plunge. The new reef is also exposed in the 20 level North access. Following discussions Don Maclean, Charlotte Buxton-Blue and our Geology team agreed on naming the new structure the "Christmas Reef" which is a fitting Christmas gift for our staff, investors and stakeholders. Merry Christmas. 🎄 #federationmining #goldmining #westcoast #nzmining Straterra Inc
