-
Feed : 2Mt at 2.8% Zn, 3% Pb & 89 g/t Ag
-
Product : 90kt of bulk concentrate:
-
Z n – 37%
-
Pb - 12% (Pb + Zn=49%)
-
Ag - 195g/t
-
As - 0.77%
“ ” – Time of high prices typical swing production
’ – - BSM s Aim process on an incremental cost basis to be a long term producer.
Bass plans for mid 2011:
-
Process 1Mtpa of Hellyer tails – on a campaign basis with Fossey ore.
-
Produce either additional 10-15ktpa of Pb & Zn in separate concentrates or 30kt pa of a Bulk lead-zinc concentrate.
Current Activity:
- Undertaking extra test work to enhance Zn & Pb recovery and reduce As levels.
Bass Metals – Investment Proposition Fact: Current market cap = c A$70 to A$80M. Stage 1: HMP
�In production NOW
- �Cashflow - forecast EBIT pa for HMP (phase 1) $40M/yr
�HMP – forecast to be 5 year project (Phase 1&2) Stage 2: Exploration Upside
-
�Track record of exploration success
-
�VMS deposits occur in clusters
�Exciting pipeline of prospects and discoveries
- �All sized discoveries – leverage to BSM’s Hellyer Mill
Stage 3: growth from existing resources �Potential large scale gold production �Increased base metal production
Conclusion: excellent cash flow potential & growth prospects. Undervalued.

Notes on Metal Prices and Gold Equivalence
•Metal prices effecting the gold equivalent calculation are : Gold A$1,430/oz and silver A$35.6/ozs. This generates a Au:Ag ration of 1:40.1. This has been conservatively modified to 1:45 to complete the equivalence calculation based only on contained silver and gold in the respective resources in Table 4 and 5.
•The grades for the calculation of a Au equivalent grade are from the respective combined resource estimates presented in Tables 4 and 5.
•No recoveries or other modifying factors have been applied in the calculation. Au is the chosen metal for reporting equivalence as it is potentially the more valuable.
