New Bendigo Gold Project The Bendigo goldfield is centred on the urban area of Bendigo (population approximately 60 000) in central Victoria, 130 km north west of Melbourne, Australia. Gold was discovered at Bendigo in 1851 and production continued through to 1954. The Bendigo goldfield is the second largest goldfield in total gold produced in Australia, after Kalgoorlie's Golden Mile with a total production of 22 million oz. The geology of the Bendigo Field consists of a series of tightly folded, interbedded sandstone and shale sediments. Within the sediments the gold mineralisation is hosted in quartz reefs or ribbons closely associated with anticline axes and reverse faulting. The gold within the quartz reefs is typically both coarse grained and erratically distributed.Bendigo Advertiser article attached to a photocopy of an underground rock formation. Photocopy date stamped 21.8.2000. Headline on newspaper article: 'Gold search continues'. Content describes exploration on the New Chum line of reef 'down to 1500 metres below the surface'. Doug Buerger is quoted discussing the 10 million ounce potential of the New Bendigo gold project. The Garden Gully line of reef is being tested for unmined ribbons on the reefline. bendigo mining n.l., bendigo, mining, gold, kangaroo flat, doug buerger, garden gully reef, new chum reef

Mr. Doug Buerger, managing Director of Bendigo Mining, stated that the New Bendigo project has 'the potential to become a very profitable, large-scale gold producer'.
