EL 5654 DELEGATE NSW
Licence Granted: 14 December 1999 
Location: 12 kilometres southeast of Delegate Area: 29.5 square kilometres (13 units)
Target: Alluvial gold in terrace deposits and active stream placers.
Commodities Sought: Gold
Exploration Philosophy:
At Craigie, Capital is searching for reserves to support a 2,000 oz/year alluvial mining operation.
Project Status - July 2007:
Data compilation completed; photogeological and geomorphological study completed; reconnaissance mapping & auger sampling completed; bulk sampling completed; grid-based sampling to outline resource at Craigie BogñTerrace 2 deposit at Shiralee completed; REF prepared and approval for trenching and bulk sampling at Shiralee & North Little Bog Creek prospects being sought; transportable processing plant purchased and refurbished; exploration continuing.
