Muyua Island
Historic gold mining from the late nineteenth century until the early 1960s.
Primary gold mineralisation is hosted by volcanic/subvolcanic rocks of the Okiduse Volcanics. All gold occurrences are of the low to intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization style.
Woodlark Island has experienced over 100 years of mining and exploration with a total of 231,059 Au ounces mined from alluvial and hard rock sources since 1963.
