Given the recent softening in gold prices, Crocodile Gold has done an extensive review of its operations and projects to identify further opportunities
1. Continual Operational Review
• Operating Costs
• Consolidation of shared services in Victoria (SGM & FGM)
• Streamlined management structure at the operations (NT & SGM)
• Capital Expenditures
• Limit capital expenditures to mine development with minimal $ spend on infrastructure
• Redistribution of assets within the group, from SGM to FGM and Cosmo, reducing capital expenditures (mobile equipment, electrical equipment, etc)
• Assets sale at SGM
• On-going optimization of Cosmo, using experience of SGM & FGM
2. Projects Review
• Exploration drilling limited to on-mine resources conversion; no greenfield
• Moving ahead only on Big Hill project at this time
• Reassessing appropriate timing for UR Prospect and Pine Creek
