$5.5M TO REFURBISH BRIGHTSTAR GOLD MILL

Emerging West Australian gold company Brightstar Resources Ltd ( ASX: BTR ) ( Brightstar or the Company ) is pleased to announce receipt of a report from highly regarded consultancy Como Engineers Pty Ltd ( Como ) that confirms an estimated cost of $5.5 million to refurbish the Brightstar Processing Plant (the Mill ) at the Company’s flagship Brightstar Gold Project ( Brightstar Project ), near Laverton in the northern Goldfields.

The Mill is on care and maintenance while Brightstar completes resource definition drilling and mine design work ahead of finalising plans to re-establish its gold mining operations.

Strategic Significance of Brightstar Gold Mill

The Como report states that refurbishment of the Mill will result in Brightstar having a 650ktpa production plant within 60km of its three major deposits – Alpha, Beta and Cork Tree Well, which boast a combined JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource of approximately 445,000oz Au (7,192kt @ 1.9 g/t). The Mill is also close to a number of third-party, advanced gold projects that may lead to toll-treatment opportunities.

The Como report estimates the costs of refurbishment of the Mill, including all modifications and upgrades, to be approximately $3.6 million (excluding GST). In addition, Como has estimated $1.9 million of owner’s costs. The Como cost estimates include a 30% contingency.

The Como report builds on the significant investment Brightstar made in 2014 including purchasing and installing, or partly installing, key capital items such as a new secondary crusher, 450kW ball mill, gravity circuit and elution circuit.

Other key findings of the Como report include that:

  • (a) the estimated refurbishment, upgrade and commissioning of the Mill should take approximately three months, plus a potential three months to produce a new head for the Ball Mill;

  • (b) core components of the Mill, including the ROM bin and grizzly, the carbon-inleach tanks, crushers and feeders are overall in decent condition; and

  • (c) the refurbishment should be undertaken with a crew of up to 10 staff.

The Como report is an exciting milestone for Brightstar and will be incorporated into the Company’s three-year strategic plan, which is expected to be finalised and released to the market by the end of this quarter.

Brightstar Resources Managing Director Bill Hobba commented:

“We are delighted with the outcomes of Como’s report into the Brightstar Mill’s refurbishment and upgrade, which confirmed our expectations of a low capital-cost solution that will underpin plans for us to fast-track the Brightstar Project into production.

“At the upgraded oxide processing capacity of approximately 650,000 tonnes a year, our Mill will be almost twice as large as originally envisaged.

“The Brightstar Board wishes to thank Richard Ladyman and his team at Como for preparing a robust and independent review of the costs associated with returning our Mill to operations. We now look forward to getting on with the job of completing our resource work and associated mine design work at the Brightstar Project – including a final cost estimate for the Mill work – as part of our plans to becoming a profitable gold producer.”

Major Items of Mill Refurbishment Expenditure

Some of the major (>$100,000) items of Mill refurbishment and upgrade expenditure identified in Como’s report include:

  • (a) work on the crushing and screening electronics ($100,000);

  • (b) replacement of the feed bin ($100,000) and lime silo ($150,000);

  • (c) supply and refit of new rubber liners and lifters in Ball Mill 1’s lube system ($150,000);

  • (d) replacing the head and trunnion of Ball Mill 3’s trunnion bearing ($250,000);

  • (e) acquisition of a new leach tank ($200,000); and

  • (f) preparation of a new or second-hand agitator for the leach tank ($100,000).

The belt feeder also requires a new heavy duty conveyor belt and installation of a gravity circuit and concrete repairs need to be completed.

A copy of Como’s report is attached to this announcement. Como has consented to the release of the report.

1. INTRODUCTION

At the request of Stone Resources Director , Bill Hobba, the author, Richard Ladyman, Principal Engineer at Como Engineers, visited the Brightstar plant, about 30 km south east of Laverton, accompanied by the site manager, Craig Wales, on 15 October’20 . The purpose was to inspect the plant and prepare a budget (+/- 30%) for refurbishment, upgrade and modifications, generally as set out in Mr.Hobba’s emails dated 8 October’20 and 11 March’21.

3. PLANT INSPECTION

The plant was originally built in 1984 and installed near Coolgardie.

It was relocated to Brightstar about 2009 , refurbished and upgraded with the addition of a second ball mill and a leach tank.

In about 2014 an upgrade project was commenced, a new secondary crusher, 450 kW ball mill, gravity circuit, and elution circuit were procured and partly installed.

The installation of this equipment was not completed, with the main outstanding items being electrical installation, piping, and access ways.

The plant has not been operated since this time and has been on care and maintenance.

Como Engineers have inspected the Brightstar plant several times between 2010 and 2020, and various reports have been compiled addressing Valuation, Refurbishment, Upgrade and Relocation.

There has been little change since 2014, when the plant was shut down for refurbishment and upgrade, except for the procurement and part installation of various items of equipment.

The estimated costs of refurbishment and upgrade are shown in the attached spreadsheet, Appendix 3.

4. EXECUTION PLAN AND SCHEDULE

It is estimated that the refurbishment, upgrade and commissioning of the Brightstar Gold Plant will take approximately 3 months. But a further 3 months would be required to manufacture the new head for the Marcy ball mill.

A site crew of up to 10 persons will be required, including:

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Construction Manager

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Engineers of various categories as required

==> picture [5 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • Draftsmen of various categories as required

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Boilermaker/welders

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Fitters

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Crane driver

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Rigger

==> picture [5 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • Electricians

==> picture [5 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • Trades assistants

Obviously the camp will need to be refurbished and commissioned before the crew mobilise.

To accurately scope and cost the proposed work, a detailed inspection needs to be carried out. This would require a crew of about 6 persons to spend a week on site, running up motors wherever possible, and carrying out a detailed inspection of all items of equipment on site that is to be reused. Bills of materials would be compiled, and a detailed scope of works, budget and schedule prepared.

The resulting report would estimate the cost to +/-15%, and could form the basis for an EPC contract.

“Bradken, with it's own dedicated scrap metal processing operations in Qld and WA, has the ability to manage the recycling of your scrap metal. In Addition to those operations Bradken has staff in place to manage the logistics of scrap metal collection regardless of where the scrap is generated or located.

A distinct advantage in using Bradken for your scrap metal recycling is that you are dealing directly with the end user of the scrap. This enhances security of supply for your critical products in times of tight supply and demand for Ferro Alloys, and at competitive prices as worn scrap metal is used in place of more expensive Ferro Alloys in manufacturing processes.”

Yours faithfully,

Graham Brennan Engineering Manager
