中国上市公司澄通矿业集团旗下子公司澄通金业向澳大利亚初探矿企Golden Dragon Mining投资220万美元[1]。澄通金业以每股0.20澳元认购1100万股，获得19.89%的股权，溢价幅度达17.65%[1]。根据协议，澄通金业将获得提名一名董事的权利，同时受二年冻结协议限制，未经董事会批准不得进一步收购股份[1]。
此次投资将用于加速Golden Dragon在西澳大利亚Murchison地区Cue金矿项目的勘探工作[1]。Golden Dragon Mining管理总监Simon Buswell-Smith表示，"他们的参与使Golden Dragon有能力加快发展活动并追求增长机遇"[1]。该公司近期在Coodardy钻井取得进展，5月份12米长样本品位为6.5克/吨金，其中4米段品位达17.6克/吨；2月份8米长样本品位为10.82克/吨[1]。Behring Bore前景钻井同样获得4米长样本品位5.3克/吨金的结果，部分20米矿化包裹品位为1.57克/吨金[1]。
勘探工作还发现了一条3公里长的金异常带，土壤样本最高金值达720ppb[1]。
Chengtun Gold, a subsidiary of Chinese-listed company Chengtun Mining Group, has invested $2.2 million in Golden Dragon Mining, an early-stage exploration company operating in Western Australia's Murchison region [1]. The investment involves the subscription of 11 million shares at $0.20 per share, granting Chengtun Gold a 19.89% stake at a 17.65% premium [1]. As part of the transaction, Chengtun Gold has secured the right to nominate a director to Golden Dragon's board [1].
The capital injection is intended to accelerate exploration activities at Golden Dragon's Cue gold project in the Murchison district [1]. Golden Dragon Mining's Managing Director Simon Buswell-Smith stated that "their involvement positions Golden Dragon to accelerate development activities and pursue growth opportunities" [1]. Under a two-year lock-in agreement, Chengtun Gold cannot acquire additional shares without board approval [1].
Recent drilling results from the project have demonstrated encouraging gold intersections across multiple prospects [1]. At Coodardy, May assays returned 6.5 grams per tonne gold over 12 metres, with a higher-grade 4-metre interval grading 17.6 grams per tonne, while February drilling yielded 10.82 grams per tonne gold over 8 metres [1]. The Behring Bore prospect produced 5.3 grams per tonne gold over 4 metres, with a broader 20-metre mineralized envelope returning 1.57 grams per tonne [1]. A newly identified 3-kilometre-long gold anomaly has also been documented, with soil samples registering maximum gold values of 720 parts per billion [1].
