Horizon Minerals (ASX:HRZ) has executed a land use agreement with the Marlinyu Ghoorlie Native Title Claimant Group which covers the majority of the company’s tenure in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.
The area overlaps 240 tenements and 90% of Horizon Minerals’ land package by area.
Horizon, which has a market capitalisation of $209.55 million, says the agreement provides a framework of cooperatively working together to identify and protect Aboriginal Cultural Heritage at its projects.
The agreement also allows the company to advance its pipeline of projects to feed the Black Swan processing facility.
CEO Grant Haywood says this landmark agreement reflects Horizon’s commitment to working in partnership with the Marlinyu Ghoorlie people in a spirit of goodwill and respect.
Horizon Minerals hosts more than 1 million ounces of gold resources across its large 1,300km2 landholding in Western Australia.
The company holds gold projects in the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie regions including the 428,000 ounce Boorara Project and 1.372 million ounces in satellite projects in close proximity.
