The sale of Queensland copper and gold company Chinova Resources is gathering pace, with the advisors running the process calling for expressions of interest and slapping a $300 million price tag on the business.

BurnVoir Corporate Finance has told prospective buyers that Chinova's Osborne assets, which are located 190 kilometres from Mount Isa, Queensland, have a total resource estimate of 3.9 million tonnes of copper, 6.8 million ounces of gold, 96,000 tonnes of molybdenum and 12,000 tonnes of cobalt, according to a flyer viewed by Capital Brief.

Existing infrastructure at the sites includes a 50-kilometre sealed road, an airstrip, a 19.5-megawatt gas power plant and camps and facilities.

Interested parties are expected to be mid to large-cap Australian gold and copper producers, and mine site visits have been planned over the next few weeks, a source close to the process said.
