Bulk Sample Testwork verifies Cape Bedford’s high‐quality silica sand product

  • Bulk sample process testwork confirms Cape Bedford Silica/Heavy Minerals Project’s Nob Point Prospect capable of producing high‐quality silica sand product (99.9% SiO2)

  • Product capable of being made using standard wet gravity spiral concentrator, with 88% recovery rate from bulk sample to high‐value end product

  • Diatreme now focusing on further infill drilling, commercial scoping study and commencement of licensing and permitting studies following successful definition of Maiden Inferred Mineral Resource

Prospects for a n ew silica sa n d mine in F a r North Qu e ensland ha v e received a nother boost, with Diatreme Resources Limi t ed (ASX:DR X ) announci n g today po s itive testwork results showing the C a pe Bedford Silica/Heav y Minerals Proj e ct is capabl e of producing a world‐ c lass silica sand product a t 99.9% SiO2.

Bulk sampling fr o m the proj e ct’s Nob Po i nt Prospect also showe d the produ c t could be produced at a high recov e ry rate of 88%. It also demonst r ated that p r ocessing w o uld be relatively straigh t forward du e to minima l oversize, a low leve l of slimes ( 3 %) and eas y removal of heavy mine r als (0.19%) o n spiral se p arators.

Simi l arly, minin g is expected to be a sim p le operatio n due to the small amou n t of overb u rden prese n t which can be easily removed. A n initial op e ration with annual pro d uction of 3 0 0,000 to 500,000 tonne s of high‐gr a de silica pr o duct is envisaged, pe n ding furthe r studies an d discussion s with poten t ial customers.

The s uccessful r e sults follow the Compa n y’s announ c ement of a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource f o r the proje c t’s Nob Point Prosp e ct of an estimated 21.6 million ton n es @ > 99 % SiO2 (refer ASX announcement 13 A ugust 2018 ) .

Diat r eme’s CEO, Neil McIntyre, said the r esults provi d ed further evidence of the potenti a l for a valuable new sili c a san d mine.

“Ca p e Bedford i s showing gr e at promise , with these results follo w ing the po s itive maide n Inferred R e source for the proj e ct’s Nob P o int Prospec t ,” he said.

“Lo o king forwar d , we antici p ate Nob Point has the p o tential to become a long‐life opera t ion, providi n g jobs for t h e loca l communit y and cashflow that will allow Diatre m e to expan d exploratio n further no r th and wes t , with the aim of iden t ifying additional silica and heavy mineral resou r ces.”

Located 200km n orth of Cairns and near the world’s largest silic a sand mine a t Cape Flat t ery, the Ca p e Bedford proj e ct is seen c a pable of su p plying fast‐growing Asi a n markets w ith high‐gr a de silica sa n d used in hi g h‐end glas s manufacturing w ithin the automotive, c o nstruction, electronics a nd other sectors. The global silica s a nd market is see n reaching n e arly US$10 b illion in revenues by 2022, with a h e althy compound annual growth rat e of 7.2% (source: IMARC G roup).

Bulk Sample Process

  • Samples were inspe c ted by IHCR and three surface sam p les (D2153, D2167, D21 7 3) were ex c luded from t he testwor k due to exc e ssive topso i l mixed wit h the silica

  • 7kg taken from the o ther 101 dr i ll samples a s listed in th e bulk samp l e table

  • Total sa m ple used f o r process testwork was a pproximat e ly 700kg

  • Mix and homogenis e the bulk sample and re m ove a 50k g sample

  • Remove a 500g hea d sample fro m 50kg sam p le and characterise for o versize (+2 . 0mm, +1.0 m m), slimes ( ‐ 45µm) and heavy mineral (+2.85sg)

  • Submit s ample of heavy mineral , light miner a l and slime s for XRF an a lyses

Testing Outcomes

  • One sta g e of Mineral Technologies MG12 sp i ral will pro d uce a high quality (99.9 % SiO2) silic a product wi t h a recover y of 88% fro m the Nob P o int Prospe c t resource area at Cape Bedford

  • The bul k sample tes t work also d emonstrate d that the p r ocessing pl a nt will be r e latively sim p le due to negligible oversize, m inimal hea v y mineral ( 0 .19%), low level of slim e s (3%), and v ery good r e moval of h e avy mineral o n spiral se p arators.

Next Steps ‐ Mining Scoping Study Expectations

  • Mining i s expected t o be a simpl e operation d ue to the s m all amoun t of overbur d en which c a n easily be remove d , and the resource mat e rial is free digging sand d une above the water t a ble

  • An initial mining op e ration with a nnual prod u ction of 30 0 ,000 to 50 0 ,000 tonne s of high gra d e silica pro d uct is envisaged, depen d ent on the d iscussions w ith potenti a l customers and the lik e ly initial market penetr a tion for the p roject

  • The Nob Point resource will initi a lly be developed as a long‐life oper a tion allowi n g explorati o n to expand further n orth and w e st in EPM1 7 795, with t h e objective of identifying additional silica and h e avy mineral resourc e s.

Mr M cIntyre ad d ed: “With t h e support o f the traditi o nal owners and potentially low min i ng and pro c essing costs, Cap e Bedford is l ooking extr e mely attra c tive as a so u rce of near‐term cashfl o w for Diatr e me. The ti m ing is right a nd with conditions looking posi t ive we are c onfident of d eveloping C ape Bedfor d for the be n efit of all st a keholders, adding to the gr o wing antici p ated value o f our flags h ip Cyclone Z ircon Project and other p rojects.”

About Cape Bedford

The C ape Bedfo r d EPM1779 5 is located a pproximat e ly 200km n o rth of Cairn s in North Q u eensland, a nd covers t h e extent of a large Quaternary sand dune f ield, part of which is currently being mined by C a pe Flattery Silica Mines Pty Ltd (CFSM), a w h olly owned s ubsidiary o f Mitsubishi Corporation. Cape Flatt e ry has oper a ted since 1 9 67 and is t h e world's largest s i lica sand mining operation.

The C ape Bedfo r d/Cape Flat t ery region o f north Queensland is d o minated b y an extensi v e Quaterna r y sand mas s and dun e field that s t retches inl a nd from the present co a st for approximately 10 k m and exte n ds 50km fr o m north to south.

Hist o rical explor a tion has fo c used on th e Cape Flatt e ry area, wit h in the Mini n g Leases of CFSM, but reconnaissa n ce expl o ration has b een carried out over th e entire dune field in th e late 1960's and again i n the early 1 9 80's. This expl o ration confirmed the p r esence of b o th silica sa n d and heav y mineral sa n ds, and Dia t reme inten d s to build on the exis t ing data an d initially tar g et those ar e as (e.g. No b Point) where prospective silica san d dunes hav e been iden t ified and access is re a dily available.

Foll o wing the si g ning in 201 7 of a Conduct and Com p ensation A g reement and a Cultural Heritage Ag r eement with the trad i tional own e rs, Hope Vale Congress, Diatreme h a s worked cl o sely with Hope Vale Co n gress to m a ximise the eco n omic benef i ts for the lo c al community.

In A u gust 2018, D iatreme defined a mai d en Inferred Mineral Resource for th e project’s N ob Point Sil i ca Sand Pro s pect loca t ed in the s o uthern area of the tene m ent (refer A SX announ c ement rele a sed 13 Aug u st 2018).
