Company Overview

Silver Lake is a large, all-Australian, ASX 200 gold producing and exploration company with multiple mines and multiple mills operating in the Eastern Goldfields and Murchison districts of Western Australia.

Silver Lake’s land position in Western Australia covers 5,500 sqkm of highly prospective under explored tenements containing gold, silver, copper and zinc.

Silver Lake currently has JORC Resources and JORC Ore Reserves containing:

  •  6.6 million ounces of gold inclusive of 1.8 million ounces of reserve;
  •  10.4 million ounces of silver; and
  •  140,000 tonnes of copper.


In the Murchison, Silver Lake has commenced mining and commissioning of the 1.2 million tonne per annum processing facility with production expected to commence in the March 2013 quarter. Provision has also been made at the processing facility for the addition of a base metals circuit.

Nearby to the Murchison project is the Eelya Complex, which is prospective for gold and base metals. A high grade copper/gold discovery has already been made at the Hollandaire deposit which contains copper, gold & silver. A pre-feasibility study is underway at Hollandaire.

In the Great Southern, Silver Lake owns the large Kundip and Munglinup exploration projects covering over 2,500 sqkm. Post development of the Murchison in 2013, Silver Lake will increase regional gold exploration at Kundip with the view of establishing a third gold mining centre (with potential copper and silver credits).

Silver Lake has a commitment to long term exploration targeting 10 million oz Au over time.
