About Pioneer

Pioneer Resources is a specialist exploration company with a strategically located tenement portfolio, largely located within 200 km of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia. Our belief that medium to long-term growth will be delivered via genuine discovery has resulted in the Mt Jewell Gold Project being firmly established as our headline project.

• Increasing enterprise value through gold discovery.
• Supplementing this with a free-carried joint venture and royalty portfolio; and
• Growth through judicious acquisition.

Strategy and Corporate Plan

The Company’s aim is to discover and develop high value mineral resources within the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Build shareholder wealth

• Generate capital growth initially through the discovery of new economic orebodies. With approximately 2,300 km² of tenements to explore near Kalgoorlie and Kambalda Western Australia, Pioneer’s tenement portfolio is situated in a world-class gold and nickel province.
• Undertake best practice exploration emphasising expeditious and cost-effective exploration campaigns on those targets most likely to generate mineable resources.
• Leading to significant cash flow generation through exploration success from advanced stage targets.

Maximise project values

• Use economic evaluations to ensure that targets identified have the capacity to deliver at a low cost position on the industry production cost curve. This means that Pioneer will target high-grade, high-value metal deposits.
• Maintain an evolving list of projects from grass-roots exploration through to advanced resource drilling. Emerging projects will continually compete against more mature projects already in the Pioneer portfolio.

Create high-reward opportunities at limited risk

• Build up large, continuous tenement holdings overlying endowed geological structures which will be attractive as development projects for future partners or project funders.
• Manage the risk of its large tenement holding by continuing to enter into joint ventures. Pioneer will usually seek provision to be free-carried to the commencement of mining and a royalty option.

Operate as a responsible corporate citizen

• Adhere to the highest standards of corporate governance.
• Conduct operations in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
• Offer employment opportunities to those who live in the exploration project areas.
• Respect the indigenous culture of the exploration provinces.
• Promote social and economic development for the traditional custodians of Pioneer’s exploration projects.
