Resource Risk
- “recent” mining history - 2.4mt ore mined, recent & historic drill data
Reserves Risk
-
shallow, open pit mine, conservative dilution/recovery assumptions
-
Operations Risk
-

-
Processing Risks
-
BSM is selling ore to Zinifex’s Rosebery plant
-
Capital Costs/Construction risks
-
minimal ($0.5M) no major plant construction costs
-
Access to work force/skills risks
-
skilled local work force in place, several ex-Que River/Hellyer employees
Commodity prices/FX risks
