About Big Hill
The Big Hill Gold Property consists of a single Exploration Permit covering 24 square kilometres and
encloses two discrete granted mining leases. The permit covers the historic mines of Big Hill,
Queenslander, Monte Cristo and Sultan & Taylor of the Talgai Goldfield. Talgai is one of eight historical
Goldfields in the broader Warwick-Texas District, active in the late 19th century, which include Canal
Creek, Thanes Creek, Leyburn, Palgrave, Pikedale, Lucky Valley and MacDonald Goldfields. These
supported both alluvial and reef mining, with the Queenslander Mine distinguishing itself as the first lode
gold mine in the state of Queensland with a total production of 4.1Koz of gold at an average grade of
50g/t with some early crushings reported up to 4000g/t. The bulk of production in the historical mines in
the Warwick-Texas District occurred from initial discovery in 1864 until the early 1900s. Small-scale
activity continued during intermittent periods in the 20th century, with many of the larger historic mines
remaining under mining leases but with limited modern exploration to date.
About Queensland Gold Hills Corp.
Queensland Gold Hills is focused on conducting modern systematic exploration in the historic goldfields
of Queensland, Australia. Collectively, the Big Hill Gold Project and the Titan Project cover 110 square
kilometers and host 54 high-grade historical gold mines in the Talgai Goldfields of the broader Warwick-
Texas District.
