Barton Gold Holdings Ltd. has announced the appointment of Bedrock Advisory Partners to manage the credit portion of its financing process for 'Stage 1' operations at the Challenger Gold Project in South Australia. The company is targeting initial operations using historical higher-grade tailings and limited near-surface materials at its wholly-owned Central Gawler Mill, the region’s only gold mill. Barton is currently conducting a Definitive Feasibility Study $(DFS)$ to support this transition, aiming to maximize development options for its Challenger underground, Tarcoola, Wudinna, and Tolmer assets. The company is evaluating a range of financing options, including credit, trade finance, commodities trading, and equity, to support its goal of future gold production of 150,000 ounces per annum. Bedrock’s experience in natural resources finance is expected to help optimize and de-risk the investment strategy for Barton's planned operations.
