DFS Status
==> picture [89 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
-
Draft DFS report received and update to 2mtpa in progress
-
Plant and equipment costs will be based on Tenders for Design and Construction as issued in October 2012
-
Mine schedule is being optimised to include Zone 1
-
Costing estimates will be based on responses to the above Tenders and updated infrastructure costs from the 1.5mtpa study
-
Operating costs will be updated from the 1.5mtpa study received in July 2012
-
The strategy to invite quotes based on tender documents for the 2Mtpa throughput is likely to deliver significant savings in CAPEX.
-
OPEX estimates for mining now based on actual quotes from potential suppliers of mining equipment are significantly below those reflected in July draft DFS.
-
Peer review of the draft DFS received in July recommended that Alara should consider campaigning copper and zinc mineralised material separately through the plant so as to improve recoveries and reduce reagent consumption. Adoption of this strategy required additional metallurgical test work to be performed. This work has now been completed and has confirmed both better recoveries and significantly lower reagent consumptions and therefore significantly lower operating costs.

Updated JORC Resource
==> picture [89 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Results from further drilling have led to a ~30% upgrade[3] in the JORC Measured and Indicated Zinc and Copper Resource at the Khnaiguiyah Project from the maiden JORC Resource[4]

Three Domains – Domain 1 (zinc only), Domain 2 (zinc & copper) and Domain 3 (copper only)
-
The current JORC Zinc, Zinc/Copper and Copper Resources at Khnaiguiyah on an individual Measured, Indicated and Inferred basis across the four zones and three domains are as follows:

Chile – Piedrecillas Project (earning 50-100%)
==> picture [89 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
-
No drilling has yet been performed in the project area however historical sampling taken in outcroppings both at surface and from small underground mining works show grades between 0.30% Cu to 3.30% Cu with up to 77g/t Ag, 0.15g/t Au and 0.001% Mo
-
The project area has good access to key project infrastructure requirements including water, power, roads, ports and favourably located close to towns and cities.
