VAA Resources is a Western Australian gold reprocessing company. We are
progressing the Holleton Gold Project through approvals and operational
preparation, with a defined plan to reprocess historically mined and
treated gold-bearing material.
Our own earthmoving equipment and practical gold-processing expertise
support this work.

01 / About VAA Resources
Gold recovery is the focus. Practical capability supports it.
Earlier mining and treatment can leave gold in the material that remains.
Reprocessing starts with understanding that material and assessing whether
a suitable recovery method can be applied.
VAA brings material assessment and mineral-processing evaluation together
with its own earthmoving equipment, field experience and project planning.
At Holleton, we are progressing a defined
reprocessing plan through approvals and operational preparation.
Commencement remains subject to the required approvals and conditions,
supporting technical work and operational readiness.
02 / Gold Reprocessing
A planned approach to gold reprocessing
The recovery method depends on the material. At Holleton, the plan for
Leary's Lament centres on conventional vat leaching, supported by material
assessment, processing preparation and approvals work.
01
Assess the material
Review the material's history, location and available sampling data.
Field investigation and characterisation help establish what further
sampling and processing work is needed.

02
Prepare the processing approach
The planned approach at Leary's Lament is conventional vat leaching.
Material characteristics and supporting technical work inform preparation,
including crushing and screening requirements and plant configuration.

03
Progress approvals and preparation
VAA is coordinating approvals and operational preparation, including
materials handling, water management and site infrastructure. Our own
earthmoving equipment and practical expertise support this work.
Earthmoving capability / materials handling
Our capability is built for gold reprocessing.
VAA combines its own earthmoving equipment and mobile plant with practical
materials-handling, project-development and operational expertise to support
its gold reprocessing projects and project evaluations.
Separate research and development
Alternative beneficiation research
Alongside the planned conventional vat-leaching project, VAA is evaluating
alternative beneficiation approaches to preparing and concentrating
gold-bearing material. This is a separate research and development activity;
it is not the basis of the planned operation at Leary's Lament. Any application
depends on technical validation, commercial assessment and applicable approvals.
Gold reprocessing: common questions
What is gold reprocessing?
Gold reprocessing involves treating material from earlier mining or
processing activities to recover remaining gold. It can involve historic
stockpiles or previously treated material, such as tailings. Sampling and
processing studies are needed to assess suitability; previous mining or
treatment alone does not establish a viable recovery project.
What gold-bearing material does VAA consider?
VAA's focus is previously mined and historically treated gold-bearing
material. At Holleton, the reprocessing plan concerns
historically mined and treated lateritic material. Each enquiry is considered on its own material
characteristics, available information, site access and project requirements.
What stage is the Holleton Gold Project at?
Holleton is in the approvals and operational preparation stage, with a
defined plan for conventional vat leaching at
Leary's Lament.
Commencement remains subject to the required approvals and conditions,
completion of supporting technical work and operational readiness.
What should I include in a material or project enquiry?
Include the location, material type, your relationship to the project and
any available sampling or processing information. A short, non-confidential
overview is enough to begin a discussion. Contact details are available in
corporate and project enquiries.

A focused gold reprocessing project
At Holleton, VAA is progressing a plan to reprocess historically mined
and treated gold-bearing lateritic material within an established mining
area. The project is in the approvals and operational preparation stage.

The planned operation
Leary's Lament at Holleton
The plan centres on reprocessing historically mined and heap-leached
material using conventional vat leaching. Historical operating records
and recent laboratory assay information inform material selection and
processing preparation.
VAA is coordinating approvals and operational preparation, supported by
its own earthmoving equipment and practical site expertise. Commencement
remains subject to the required approvals and conditions, completion of
supporting technical work and operational readiness.

Current work is directed toward progressing the Holleton reprocessing
plan through approvals and operational preparation. It brings together
material assessment, supporting processing studies, water management,
plant configuration, site infrastructure and environmental planning.
Field investigation, survey and operational planning are used to refine
the project layout and practical requirements for development, with an
emphasis on working within established disturbance wherever practicable.
The plan remains subject to technical findings, commercial assessment,
the required approvals and conditions, and operational readiness.
04 / Leadership
Peter Sworder
Chief Executive Officer & Director
Peter is a mechanical engineer, former airline captain, entrepreneur and
gold-processing project leader. His Western Australian gold-processing
experience dates from 1984 and includes historic tailings and laterite
treatment, conventional vat-leach projects, plant selection, approvals
coordination and practical project delivery.
At VAA Resources, Peter leads processing strategy, technical evaluation and
project planning for the Holleton Gold Project. He is also evaluating
alternative beneficiation approaches for previously treated gold-bearing
material as a separate research and development activity.

VAA attending 121 Mining Investment Global Online
VAA Resources will participate in scheduled industry meetings, discussing
its Western Australian gold-reprocessing focus, project development and
potential commercial and technical partnerships.
Have gold-bearing material or a project to discuss?
VAA welcomes commercial discussions with material holders, project owners
and technical collaborators about gold reprocessing.
Relevant discussions include material assessment, project access, processing
studies, equipment and technical expertise. Each project is considered on
its own material characteristics and practical requirements.
