GBM Resources Limited (ASX: GBZ) is a well-funded Queensland based mineral exploration and development company focused on the discovery of world-class gold and copper deposits in Eastern Australia. The company has a high calibre project portfolio, hosting district scale mineral systems, located in a number of premier metallogenic terrains.
Its 100% owned flagship project in the Drummond Basin (QLD) holds ~1.85 Moz of gold in JORC resources (Mt Coolon, Yandan and Twin Hills). 2023 will see an expanded drilling program which is aiming to define 2-3 Moz and support GBM’s transition into a mid-tier Australian gold company.
Separately it also holds tenements in the Mt Morgan district (subject to a vend into a TSX company) and in the Mt Isa Inlier in Queensland (JV with Nippon Mining Australia - 54%). This is complemented by the cash generating White Dam Gold-Copper Project in South Australia in which GBM now holds a 100% interest. Divestment of non-core assets will continue.

Drummond Basin, Mt Coolon, Twin Hills and Yandan Gold Projects – 4,570 km2 granted and 98 km2 under application (100%). Mt Coolon Project now subject to A$25m farm-in with Newcrest.
Underexplored, district-scale gold-silver prospectivity; targeting aggressive drilling and rapid resource build to +2 Moz
Cashflow producing asset

Low cost cashflow opportunity with optionality in a rising gold price environment
The Company has recently completed a restructure (late 2019/2020) covering the following major Events:
Board restructure
Executive Board Appointments with Mr Peter Rohner as Managing Director (Grad Dip Applied Finance & Investment, BSc Metallurgy) and Peter Mullens as Executive Chairman (BSc Geology, Fellow AUSIMM).
