Incident Report

Target OrganizationDome Gold Mines
Threat Group
thegentlemen
SummaryDome Gold Mines (ASX: DOM) is an Australian pre-revenue explorer with a stalled copper-gold project in Fiji — incorporated 1992 in Perth, it holds the Sigatoka Ironsands Project: unique coastal dune + offshore heavy-mineral sands (Fe-Ti-V-TREO + Au-Cu), with a ready design: modular wet plant, US$38M CAPEX, US$103M NPV, 33% IRR — but zero revenue in 34 years. Why stuck: 87% of Fiji's land belongs to indigenous mataqali clans (land-use deals take years), coastal/fisheries opposition, COVID freeze 2020–22, and repeated dilution from capital raises. Shares now trade off-market via PrimaryMarkets (a sign of suspension/possible delisting) at an implied cap of A$20–30M. Bottom line: a textbook "sleeping asset" — perfect on paper, stuck on land tenure and financing — the classic case of why 90% of exploration companies never build a mine.
