The Value Engineering Study has added value in several key areas
For the avoidance of doubt the Production Target reported includes material classified as Reserve and Inferred Mineral Resources. Material classified as Reserve contributes ~66% of the material within the Production Target and Inferred Resources contribute ~34% of material included within the Production Target. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target itself will be realised.
Key Production Target metrics
-
♦ 11.7Mt @ 3.6% Zn, 1.4% Cu, 15g/t Ag
-
♦ 1Mtpa mill feed

♦ Anomaly XA6 located to the west and extends 200-250m beyond the western interpretation of the Sulphur Springs orebody.
-
♦ Anomaly XA7 proximal to the prospective Marker Chert horizon and along strike from Sulphur Springs
-
♦ XA6 adds weight to the Company’s belief that the mineralisation may extend to the west.
