Mt Carbine Phased Development Plan Development plan includes integration of open-cut and processing facility modernisation

==> picture [109 x 75] intentionally omitted <==

Simplified location plan of Mt Carbine Operations

Phase 1 focuses on minimal capital expenditure, incremental improvements to increase the mine’s productivity and profitability focusing solely on the mining and processing of the Low Grade Stockpile Phase 2 focuses on the commencement of open pit mining; The crushing and screening plant and processing plant will be upgraded to further reduce operating costs and improve the tungsten recovery from the open pit high grade ore Phase 3 (focus of future study) shall investigate commencement of underground mining activities at Mt Carbine to allow the continuation of mining once the open pit resource is exhausted
