Bardoc Gold

The boards of St Barbara Ltd and its smaller peer Bardoc Gold Ltd have announced a $157 million buyout of Bardoc with St Barbara now set to acquire all the shares in Bardoc by way of a scheme of arrangement, at an almost 30 per cent premium to last Friday’s closing share price. Bardoc’s proposed Woodie Woodie manganese spinout would still proceed, according to the companies.

Bardoc Gold has nailed down a tranche of high-grade gold hits at depth that sit outside of the current underground resource at its Zoroastrian gold deposit near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. Significant hits from recent drilling include a 7.22m section grading 3.45 grams per tonne gold from 214.9m downhole with a 0.2m super high-grade parcel grading a bonanza 166g/t gold, or over 5 ounces to the tonne.

Bardoc Gold is continuing to deliver significant shallow gold intercepts at its North Kanowna Star project near Kalgoorlie. Noteworthy drill results include 9 metres grading 2.45 grams per tonne gold from 61m, 1m going 18 g/t gold from 47m and 3m grading 5.63 g/t gold from 69m.
