The Fathers Day Vein - The Star Of The Show

WOW! I cannot believe I was able to get my hands on this incredible, historic, once off specimen! This specimen is from the one and only Fathers Day Vein at Beta Hunt outside of Kambalda. These specimens originally went to auction for private collectors and I ahve manage to secure one specimen for this drop. 

"Beta Hunt is continuing to cough up gold stones from RNC Minerals’ Father’s Day Vein discovery, the latest a 90kg slab of rock containing $1.7 million of the yellow metal.

The 1000-ounce slab was mined from the roof of the Father’s Day Vein find, a living room-sized area 500m underground in the Kambalda mine the Canadian company estimates will deliver as much as 35,000oz in a month, the same as it produced across 2017.

The slab was cut by workers at the mine, exposing the high-tenor visible gold within it. It will be cut into smaller specimens to go to auction alongside massive 2440oz and 1620oz stones that sparked worldwide interest in the discovery when they were revealed publicly in September.

RNC Minerals chief executive Mark Selby said he expected the specimens to garner a premium on the prevailing gold price — $1686/oz yesterday, according to Kitco data.

“We expect that these spectacular specimen slabs will be highly sought-after by mineral specimen collectors,” he said.

“RNC will be able to accumulate smaller specimen stones as these are produced. Based on the current faces, we expect that the next firings should generate a substantial number of specimen stones and begin direct sales of these slabs and smaller specimens to the public, which we expect will allow us to capture the significant premiums above their gold content.”

A collection of big stones, including the 93kg King Henry, are on display to the general public at the Perth Mint.

It has capped a spectacular run for the 45-year-old mine, which has struggled since its transition from nickel to gold production began three years ago." 

I was able to get my hands on this specimen when I was granted access to a private collection owned by one of WAs biggest gold nugget collectors. 

The specimen has a total weight of 57 grams, we are unable to get an exact gold content estimate due to the specimen containing ore, quartz and pyrites! You can see a visible nugget on top as well as more gold throughout the quartz. The specimen is also glittering with pyrites. This specimen is not just sold on gold content but also the rarity and historical importance of the specimen.

Nugget premium is a percentage added to the gold spot price.
