" The completion of over 10,300m of drilling coupled with very compelling preliminary results from Tarcoola GPR is a significant achievement for our first quarter as a listed company . These results validate our innovation- driven exploration approach to unlocking the gold potential of the central Gawler Craton . " We have built a solid foundation with a ~ 1.1 Moz Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) , ownership of the region's only gold mill , and demonstrated exploration upside across two large - scale , underexplored systems . We see huge opportunity to grow known deposits along strike and depth , and for large new regional discoveries . " With $ 12.9 million cash at quarter end we are exceptionally well - funded to continue our very active exploration programs , build great scale into our resource base , and seek to establish Barton as South Australia's leading independent gold developer and producer .
