About Rincon Resources
Rincon Resources is a Western Australian ("WA") focused gold and base metals exploration company. It holds the rights to three highly prospective projects in WA, with a main focus on the South Telfer Project, covering 50,000-hectares in the Paterson province. The South Telfer Project is approximately 12km south of Newcrest Limited's Telfer mine. Rincon's Laverton and Kiwirrkurra Projects are also highly prospective gold and base metals projects.
Peter Ruse, Gunsynd PLC Director, commented: "We believe the investment in Rincon Resources offers Gunsynd a highly attractive entry point into a copper/gold exploration company with a strong board and management team. Rincon has a very exciting portfolio of copper/gold projects - particularly the South Telfer project in the Paterson region of Western Australia. The Paterson region is fast becoming one of the most highly sought-after gold regions in Australia. There has been past and present exploration success for existing ASX and AIM mining exploration companies - most recently Newcrest Mining (ASX: NCM) and Greatland Gold PLC (AIM: GGP) - Haverion Gold discovery. We look forward to working with the Rincon team to be in a position to unlock significant value via their exploration programs in the coming months."
