Michael Hudson, President, CEO, and Managing Director of Southern Cross Gold Consolidated, has been actively promoting the company's Sunday Creek gold-antimony project in Victoria, Australia, through conference presentations, investor interviews, and corporate updates. He has described the project as a multi-million-ounce, high-grade gold discovery with antimony as a significant byproduct, stating that gold accounts for roughly 80% of the in-situ recoverable value and antimony the remaining 20%. Hudson has highlighted the project's strategic importance, noting that antimony is a critical mineral with supply dominated by China and Russia, and has said the company is working to help rebuild a Western supply chain. He has also emphasized the supportive regulatory environment in Victoria, citing the permitting of multiple mines in the state and the approval of an exploration decline at Sunday Creek, which he said was granted in four months. Hudson has detailed the company's expansion plans, including scaling its drilling program from around ten rigs to over twenty, with the goal of publishing a maiden resource in early 2026 and advancing technical studies. He has reported strong drill results, including intercepts with high gold grades and antimony credits, and has said the deposit continues to grow with ongoing exploration. Hudson has also discussed the company's financial position, noting it is fully funded with a substantial cash balance, and has highlighted the backing of major shareholders and institutional investors. He has described the project as one of the few high-grade, tier-one gold discoveries globally and has expressed confidence in its potential to become a high-margin mining operation.

“The elephant in the room is, yes, it is in Victoria. And isn't Victoria a basket case and very hard to get anything done? Well, apparently not. There's been four mines permitted. I still stood up here and told you last year what was the best place to permit a mine in Australia. And I said Victoria. I got a laugh. And probably did again just then. But in terms of the metrics, if you just look at the facts, it's been f”

“It's a gold project with a smattering of a critical minerals flavor. Of that money that I said we had in the bank, here's the plan. We're drilling lots, $60 million, 11 rigs going to 24. I've mentioned that. 30 million bucks into a decline, 1.2 km of development. So that is now underway and will be finished by the end of the year. Following all that drill out, we'll be publishing our maiden resource. Our aim is to be”

“I probably didn't know much about antimony either and like everybody thought that it was just a problem. But if you got a lot of antimony like we do in these kind of deposits, it becomes a real byproduct. I suppose it all these minor elements we used to call small markets, now we call them critical medals because we gave them away and lost them. I'm very thankful that Sunday Creek is 80% gold and 20% antimony. I woul”

“There's two renaissance factors for Victoria in terms of the renaissance that we're seeing here around the gold industry primarily, but or the mining industry as a whole. One is that difference at least in geology that the best deposits on earth can form here and they get better at depth and so Foster was first, Sunday Creek is number two. So lightning has struck twice. So that's renaissance number one and understand”

“If it was gold only, I mean, it's an amazingly has potential to be amazingly deposit for the state in terms of royalties and jobs and payroll taxes and the like. So amazing economic outcome, but that doesn't have that strategic importance of rebuilding a supply chain for the west that Victoria owns and Victoria has always owned. During the Prussian wars, antimony production went up in the 1860s, World War I, our proj”

“That's all about building this project quicker essentially. So and the progressive permitting that comes with de-risking the project. So it literally the Victorian government wanted to advance this project. They came to us about a year ago and essentially said in a nice way, would you stop making it bigger and give us something to permit and it got us thinking about how to advance the project and that the government ”
