Norton Gold Fields is a gold miner with a mining and processing complex in the Kalgoorlie gold region. Norton acquired the Bullabulling Gold Project near Coolgardie in 2014, including a series of granted mining leases, prospecting licences and exploration licences. Historically, Bulabulling was a near-surface open pit gold mining producer in the 1990's. Norton aims to review and advance the project towards production. The Company also has the Mount Morgan gold tailings project in central Queensland.
In January 2015 Zijin Mining Group launched a takeover bid for Norton, initially valued at $33 million. The offer was subsequently completed after being raised to $41 million.
The company was removed from the official list of ASX, following implementation of the scheme of arrangement by which Zinjin Mining Group acquired all of the Company’s issued capital.
