Strategy
-
Icon will become a preeminent tungsten producer based on its Mt Carbine (N Qld) mine.
-
3-stage plan for production commencing 2011.
-
Tailings retreatment (2011-2013)
-
Low grade stockpile retreatment (2012-2018)
-
Hard rock mining

Tailings retreatment
Tailings ~2mt @ 0.1% WO3
50 tpm WO3 conc.
Fines recovery circuit
-
Capex estimated $4.4million.
-
Production start-up estimated late 2011.
-
Project life ~ 2 years.
-
Anticipated revenue $5 million - $9 million/ year.
-
Plant becomes “fines” recovery component for next stage (low grade stockpile processing).
==> picture [42 x 442] intentionally omitted <==
Stockpile processing
-
~ 12 million tonnes Low Grade Stockpile at 0.075%WO3 + ~ 6 million tonnes reject stockpile from previous sorter operation.
-
Feasibility studies (12 months) to optimise flow sheet, bankable document for plant construction.
-
Planned 100 tonnes per month WO3 concentrate production – 5-7 years project life.

The Low Grade Stockpile is a “game changer” for Icon
There is a low grade stockpile of ~12million tonnes from historic open pit mining at Mt Carbine. Trials on bulk samples of the stockpile show that X-Ray ore sorting results in at least 8x preconcentration of tungsten minerals in the low grade stockpile, implying major reduction in the size and hence capital cost of the mill required for concentration of final product.

Hard rock Mining
Icon has a JORC compliant Inferred Resource of 39mt at 0.14%WO3 at Mt Carbine in the immediate surrounds of the historic open pit. In 1986 development for underground mining of ~7million tonnes was well advanced. The Mining Leases and surrounding Exploration Permits are under-explored, and there is significant potential to increase the global

Financial aspects
==> picture [172 x 134] intentionally omitted <==
Cash flow modelling indicates very strong IRR, even at prices much lower than the present record highs. Mt Carbine historically was in lowest quartile cost curve: test work indicates this can be repeated.
