A New Zealand-focused gold exploration company targeting high-grade gold projects in historic mining districts, with a strategic approach to development and a team experienced in taking major discoveries into producing world-class mines.
Active mining projects and exploration sites
Hauraki boasts a significant footprint in high-grade gold and silver mining, with circa 50 epithermal deposits mined since the 1860s. They have produced over 15Moz of gold and 60Moz of silver. Notably, the Martha mine in Waihi has yielded around 10Moz of gold to date.
Historical mining in the Reefton Goldfield started in 1872, and by its close, had produced 2 million ounces of gold from high-grade underground operations in orogenic quartz vein systems. In 1951 the shaft of the Blackwater mine at Waiuta collapsed, having reached a depth of 700 metres. Today Federation Mining is reopening this mine with new underground drives restarting where mining earlier ceased.
