Project Description
The Golden Blocks goldfield in the South Island of New Zealand is a virtually untouched 100 year-old high-grade goldfield.
Despite being known for its bonanza-grade gold production, it has remained virtually untouched for a century.
Globally there are very few gold projects that provide investors the opportunity to participate in such a high-grade gold opportunity as Golden Blocks.
