Jabiru maintains a well funded innovative exploration team with the principle focus for discovery and development of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits in Australia. This type of deposit typically contains base metals such as copper, zinc and lead often with significant silver and gold credits. Examples of this type of deposit include Jabiru’s Stockman and Jaguar projects as well as the long life Golden Grove (WA) and Rosebery (Tas) mines.

Jabiru’s exploration strategy is based on a strong understanding of the genesis and physical characteristics of VMS deposits within the primary bedrock and the regolith of deeply weathered and covered terrains such as occurs in Western Australia. A strong characteristic of VMS deposit is that they occur in clusters and as such the Jabiru exploration team has a strong belief additional high grade deposits will be discovered on the Jaguar and Stockman Project.

Exploration is managed from the Perth office with team’s base at our Jaguar Mine and Omeo in the Victoria Highlands for the Stockman Project.

Jabiru is actively pursuing new exploration opportunities.
