The retooled Southern Cross Gold, a dual-listed Canadian-Australian explorer following its merger with major shareholder Mawson Gold, has kicked off its new era by heralding deep drilling at Sunday Creek in Victoria that has provided more evidence for a robust gold-antimony system.

Yet more spectacular numbers have been reported by Southern Cross Gold from its Sunday Creek gold and antimony exploration play near Melbourne.

Southern Cross Gold has been granted approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to acquire key land on properties surrounding its prospective Sunday Creek gold project in Victoria.

Southern Cross Gold (SXG) is set to take control of a ‘significant’ swathe of prime gold-antimony mining land 60km north of Melbourne.

The local mining industry has welcomed a number of changes made by the Victorian government in support of the sector.

Victoria is a world-renowned gold province with a variety of deposit styles and pre-competitive geoscientific data and knowledge to improve targeting and reduce mineral exploration risk.
