Under permit number EP60528, operated by OceanaGold Ltd, this final technical report summarises exploration activities conducted at the Neavesville project in the Hauraki Goldfield from 31 July 2020 to 16 April 2025. Work included geological mapping, rock sampling, geochemical and spectral analysis, reprocessing of historical CSAMT and gravity data, and the development of a 3D geological model. The area hosts epithermal gold-silver mineralisation within Miocene volcanic rocks, with multiple styles of mineralisation identified. Historical and recent data suggest strong lithological control on gold distribution within drillholes. Despite access challenges due to storm damage, several areas of interest were identified with potential for economic gold deposits. Further diamond drilling is recommended, with heli-portable rigs or road repairs required to access the site. Supporting data includes geochemical results and cross-sections through the 3D model.
