De Grey Mining Limited (ASX:DEG) is Australias fastest-growing gold company, with the recent Hemi discovery in Western Australia and strong newsflow reflected by their market cap which is now around A$1 billion. The Hemi discovery sits within the Mallina Gold Project and is a new style of mineralisation in the Pilbara region – intrusion-hosted, large-scale and close to the surface with grade continuity. It is also is largely underexplored with district-scale upside. Relatively unexplored[hhmc] While it has the same geological setting as the Yilgarn Craton, which has a very mature exploration history of more than 120 years, the Pilbara Craton has only been actively explored for the last 20 years.
