Large silica exploration target boosts Galalar prospects

  • Galalar Silica Project located in world‐class silica exploration province, adjacent to world’s largest operating silica mine at Cape Flattery

  • Potential major resource extension targets identified at Elim Road North Prospect and Elim Road South Prospect

  • Current exploration program maiden Exploration Target set in range of 210 million tonnes (Mt) to 2.1 billion tonnes (Bt) of silica

  • New program follows recent upgrade of Galalar’s Inferred Mineral Resource estimate and amid solid demand for premium‐quality silica

  • Preliminary sample testing program underway to define and select priority targets for further exploration and drilling programs (commencing from second quarter 2019)

Emerging silica sands explor e r and devel o per, Diatre m e Resourc e s Limited ( A SX:DRX) an n ounced today an initial silica san d s Exploration Target (se e Table 1 an d Figure 1 b e low) and pl a ns for further explorati o n activity a t its Galalar S ilica Proj e ct in North Queensland, amid solid demand growth for pre m ium‐qualit y silica from A sian mark e ts.

Located around 2 00km nort h of Cairns, the Galalar S i lica Project lies within t h e same san d dune syst e m and in cl o se pro x imity to the world’s largest operating silica min e at Cape Fla t tery (owne d by Mitsubi s hi Corporation).

The Exploration T arget follo w s the recent upgrade o f Galalar’s Inferred Mineral Resourc e estimate t o 26.4 millio n ton n es (Mt) > 9 9 % SiO2 (sili c on dioxide) (refer ASX a n nounceme n t 7 March 2019). Bulk t e sting result s have demonstrated a n ability to produce pre m ium‐grade s ilica using s t andard pro c essing tech n iques, meeting the req u irements fo r high‐end g l ass and sol a r panel ma n ufacturing and capable o f attracting premium p r ices (refer A SX ann o uncement 9 January 2019).

Note: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration completed to date to estimate a Mineral Resource in accordance with the JORC 2012 Edition Guidelines. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Cautionary Statement : An E x ploration T a rget is a st a tement or estimate of t h e explorati o n potential of a mineral dep o sit in a defi n ed geologi c al setting w h ere the sta t ement or estimate, quo t ed as a ran g e of tonnes and a rang e of gra d e (or qualit y ), relates to mineralisati o n for whic h there has been insuffici e nt explorat i on to estim a te a Miner a l Res o urce.

Diat r eme’s CEO, Neil McIntyre said: “Th e recent res o urce upgra d e (7 March 2 019) has d e monstrated the project s pot e ntial to bec o me a sourc e of premiu m ‐quality sili c a, giving th e Company c onfidence i n our invest m ent in furt h er expl o ration at G a lalar. In ad d ition, the maiden Explo r ation Targe t announce d today furt h er outlines t he targeted size and scale of the potential in situ silica re s ource in a w orld‐class silica explora t ion provinc e .

“We plan to test each of the targets quickly and furt h er delineat e resource e x tensions a n d prioritise t hose areas cap a ble of genuine economi c return.”

“No r th Queensl a nd needs n e w jobs and investment a nd that is exactly what w e aim to d e liver, working closely with our p artners, traditional ow n ers Hopeva l e Congress, with a goal o f increasin g value for a l l stakehold e rs.”

Regional Setting

Located around 2 00km nort h of Cairns, the Galalar project lies within the sa m e sand dun e system an d in close pro x imity to the world’s largest operating silica min e at Cape Fla t tery.

The C ape Bedfo r d/Cape Flat t ery region o f North Qu e ensland is dominated 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.

The large transg r essive elon g ate parabolic sand dun e s were likel y initiated b y blowouts o f beach rid g es and have evol v ed under c o nditions of persistent s o uth‐easterl y winds on a n exposed coastal aspe c t, with sand supplies continually prov i ded by an erosional shoreline durin g marine tra n sgressions. Multiple ep i sodes of dune building a re evid e nt.

Hist o rical explor a tion is limited in the pr o ject area d u e to the rel a tive remot e ness and la c k of vehicle tracks within the dun e system. Coupled with l o cally steep terrain and d ense vegetation cover i n places, only cursory investigation s of the d unes have b een compl e ted.

Methodology/Testing

In March 2019, D iatreme co m pleted an initial helico p ter sampling program of all the tar g et sand dunes. Samplin g was completed usin g a sand aug e r to vertically drill test a nominal 1 m sample int e rval below t he identifiable topsoil l a yer. A 1 m sample was deemed s u fficient for a first pass program.

Gen e rally, at lea s t 2 sample s were collected at most sample loca t ions, at lea s t 100m apa r t to determine potential vari a tion in the s and dune. B agged samples were dis p atched to i n dependent laboratory A LS in Town s ville for detailed anal y sis.

Diat r eme has id e ntified six parameters t o focus and p rioritise ex p loration target areas:

  1. Geolog y – preserve d older dun e systems wi t h well‐developed podz o lisation and preservation of the A2 horizon hosting the leached sand;

  2. Sand Q u ality ‐ identification of > 99% SiO2 and other con t ained heav y minerals;

  3. Size – i d entify exploration targe t s in excess o f 20 Mt;

  4. Access close to existing road i n frastructur e and proxi m ity to pote n tial export p oints; 5. Environmental – no t overlappin g identified e nvironmen t ally signific a nt areas.

  5. Cultural – ensuring a ny potenti a l disturbance is complia n t with traditional owners values

Cap e Flattery silica sand pro d uct is reco g nised as a g l obal bench m ark for quality silica sa n d and is wi d ely used fo r industrial purpo s es through o ut Asia and the world. T he global silica sand ma r ket is seen r eaching ne a rly US$10 b i llion in a n nual reven u es by 2022, with a com p ound annu a l average growth rate o f 7.2% (sour c e: IMARC Group).

Next Steps

Foll o wing receip t of testing r esults withi n the next 3 4 weeks which will conf i rm the silic a in situ grade range and any furt h er contained trace min e ral assembl a ge, Diatre m e will priori t ise its furth e r explorati o n activity with focus on areas of highest value to the Company.

The s e activities w ill include f urther targeted drilling t o undertak e a selective deeper sam p ling progra m and testi n g of bulk sample mineralogy, wit h a particular focus on i d entifying th e silica deposits that are capable of m eeting the stan d ards requi r ed for the h i gh value pr o duct.

Competent Person Statements - Silica

The informatio n in this re p ort that r e lates to Exploration R e sults from the Cape B edford Project is bas e d on info r mation reviewed and c ompiled by Mr. Neil Mackenzie‐Forbes, a Co m petent Per s on who is a Member o f the Australian Instit u te of Geo s cientists. M r. Mackenz i e‐Forbes is a director o f Sebrof P r ojects Pty L td (a cons u ltant geol o gist to Dia t reme Reso u rces Limite d ). Mr. Mackenzie‐Forb e s has suffi c ient experi e nce which i s relevant to the styl e of mineralisation and t ype of dep o sit under c o nsideration and to the activity bei n g undertak e n to qualif y as a Competent Per s on as defin e d in the 2 0 12 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Rep o rting of Ex p loration R e sults, Min e ral Resour c es and Ore Reserves’. M r. Macken z ie‐Forbes c o nsents to t h e inclusion in the report of the m a tters bas e d on his inf o rmation in t he form an d context in w hich it app e ars.

The c orrespondi n g JORC 20 1 2 Table 1 is a ttached to t his report.

The information in this repo r t that relat e s to Silica M ineral Reso u rces is base d on inform a tion compiled by Brice Mut t on from Au s rocks Pty L t d who has significant e x perience in I ndustrial M i nerals and Q uarry Reso u rce assessments. Brice Mutton h as sufficien t experience which is rel e vant to the style of min e ralisation a nd type of dep o sit under c o nsideration and to the a ctivity for w hich he is u n dertaking t o qualify as a Competen t Person as defi n ed in the 2 0 12 edition o f the Austr a lasian Code for Reporti n g of Exploration Results , Mineral Re s ources and Ore Res e rves (The J O RC Code).

Bric e Mutton co n sents to th e inclusion i n the report on the matt e rs based o n their infor m ation in th e form and context in which it appears.

Forward looking statements: This docu m ent may c o ntain forward looking s t atements. F orward loo k ing statem e nts are o ften, but n o t always, id e ntified by t h e use of w o rds such as “seek”, “ind i cate”, “targ e t”, “anticipate”, “forec a st”, “bel i eve”, “plan , “estimate , “expect” and “intend” and statem e nts that an event or result “may”, “ w ill”, “shoul d ”, “co u ld” or “mig h t” occur or b e achieved and other similar expre s sions. Indic a tions of, a n d interpret a tions on, fu t ure exp e cted explor a tion results or technica l outcomes, p roduction, earnings, fi n ancial posit i on and perf o rmance ar e also for w ard‐looking statements. The forwa r d‐looking st a tements in this presentation are based on curr e nt inte r pretations, e xpectation s , estimates, assumptio n s, forecasts and projections about Diatreme, Di a treme’s pro j ects and assets and t h e industry in which it o p erates as w ell as other f actors that manageme n t believes t o be relevan t and reas o nable in th e circumsta n ces at the date that suc h statements are made. The forwar d ‐looking st a tements ar e subj e ct to techn i cal, busines s , economic, competitiv e , political a n d social un c ertainties a n d continge n cies and m a y involve known a n d unknow n risks and u n certainties. The forward‐looking st a tements m a y prove to b e incorrect. Many known an d unknown f actors coul d cause actu a l events or r esults to differ material l y from the e stimated o r anti c ipated eve n ts or results expressed o r implied b y any forwar d ‐looking st a tements. All forward‐l o oking stat e ments mad e in this pre s entation ar e qualified b y the foregoing caution a ry stateme n ts.
