Barton stated the project's starter pit is modelled to yield 206,000 ounces of gold at $997 per ounce.
Following the announcement, the Barton Gold share price was up at $0.78.
The company is targeting publication of a pre-feasibility study for large-scale gold production during early 2027.
Barton holds 100% ownership of the region's only operational gold mill in the Gawler Craton.
