St Paul Project — EPM 29574 — Ulara Resources
Granted in July 2026, St Paul covers 12,210 hectares of the historically productive Bowen–Collinsville goldfield in North Queensland. The tenement is not virgin ground: it contains roughly a century of documented mining, mapping, geochemistry and geophysics, including the historically mined Birthday Gift gold workings and the repeatedly investigated Red Baron gold–silver system. The technical question at St Paul is not whether mineralisation occurs — it is whether the known structures carry sufficient continuity, width and scale.
The tenement hosts a genuine historical gold mine at Birthday Gift and a separate, repeatedly investigated gold–silver system at Red Baron, where geological mapping, soil geochemistry, structural interpretation, ground magnetics and VLF-EM all converge. Modern 2022 sampling added an unresolved 10.2 g/t Au / 57.6 g/t Ag rock chip at MR027 and a coherent silver soil corridor. Historical work repeatedly demonstrated mineralisation but consistently ran into questions of continuity and scale, which a modern GIS reconstruction, structural model and targeted drilling programme are designed to answer.

Key highlights
Historically Mined High-Grade Gold — Birthday Gift
- Later reports cite approximately 449 tonnes mined at an average of 42.9 g/t Au
- Position verified inside the current tenement boundary from compiled coordinates
- Historical production statement only — not a modern Mineral Resource
Red Baron Gold–Silver System
- Historical rock samples to 100 g/t Au and 81 g/t Ag (sample B657)
- Supported by historical geological mapping, soil geochemistry, ground magnetics and VLF-EM
- Ranked the highest-priority target on the tenement on the strength of overlapping, independent datasets
Modern GPS-Located Discovery — MR027
- Modern rock chip returned 10.2 g/t Au and 57.6 g/t Ag from a GPS-located sample
- Located south of the Red Baron sampling area with almost no systematic follow-up
- Source geometry and continuity remain undefined — a live, untested target
Coherent Silver Soil Corridors
- Modern soil sampling defined a coherent silver trend peaking at 8.13 ppm Ag (MS017)
- Associated tungsten, nickel and cobalt pathfinder responses in the same soil dataset
- Bedrock source not yet demonstrated — infill and geological definition required
Under-Drilled at the Principal Targets
- No comprehensive modern drilling has been identified at the main current St Paul targets
- Previous explorers advanced Red Baron to integrated geological, geochemical and geophysical targeting without drilling it out
- Creates a rare opportunity to apply modern structural targeting to a well-documented archive
Historical results on this page are reported as recorded in the source archive. No Mineral Resource has been defined at St Paul. Historical sample grades may be selective and are not necessarily representative of mineralised continuity or average grade.
Project questions
Where is the St Paul project?
St Paul (EPM 29574) is located in Bowen / Collinsville region, Queensland.
How large is the St Paul tenement?
The St Paul tenement covers 12,210 hectares (38 sub-blocks).
Which commodities does St Paul target?
The project targets Gold, Silver, Copper. Its current status is exploration.
Does St Paul have a declared Mineral Resource?
Ulara has not declared a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve for this project. Historical exploration results and surface samples do not establish average grade, continuity or an economic deposit. Nearby deposits are geological context only, not predictions of results at Ulara's tenements.
