The existing CRHL tenement holdings and the recent acquisition of EL21/2004 (subject to Ministerial approval) will mean that a significant portion of the Western Tasmanian Nickel Belt will be controlled by Creat Resources Holdings.
This is a newly identified province that has resulted from an appreciation of the local and regional geology, the Mineral Resources Tasmania airborne geophysical data and the Avebury Nickel Skarn discovery. The province begins on the West Coast of Tasmania at Trial Harbour and progresses eastwards towards Avebury, through the CRHL tenements, bending north east to reach Melba Flats.

EL 21/2004, Dundas, is centred about 7 km east north east of Zeehan Township and covers the old Dundas townsite. Principal access is via the Dundas Road from the Murchison Highway, which parallels the western edge of the licence. The area was mined originally for lead and silver during the late 1800’s. Small-scale mining continues in the area for mineral specimens, particularly for crocoite and stichtite. Modern exploration for tin and Cu-Zn-Ag commenced in the 1930’s.

The historic Oceana Mine is situated 4 kilometres south of the township of Zeehan near Henty Road and at the foot of Mount Zeehan. The site is situated within Zeehan Zinc's exploration licence EL20/2002. The former Oceana Mine Lease ML 2M/2005 is currently being converted into a Retention Licence (RL) to secure this asset until economic conditions become favourable to mine the deposit in the future.

The Comstock area was held under mining lease 5M/2007 covering over 245 hectares and is currently being converted to a Retention Licence (RL) following the suspension of mining.
Immediately to the west of Comstock, the Tenth Legion area is the current focus of company exploration activities. |
