Mount Gibson considers the Central Tanami Gold Project to be an attractive near-term development project that will benefit from the company's remote-site operating strengths, development expertise and financial capacity. The company intends to work closely with Tanami Gold to actively pursue development studies and, in due course, site-based development works for the project to be placed into production, centred on the high grade Groundrush deposit.
