Plans to dewater, rehabilitate and mine Dolphin utilising paste fill method, with associated mine schedule completed

Bold Head plans involve dewatering and rehabilitating the former underground mine

Tailings reclamation plans developed with dry mining extraction methods

Proven recovery process

Whole‐ore‐flotation metallurgical test work completed in China on both ore and tailings samples.

Chinese testing replicated in Tasmania under Australian conditions confirming the previous results, including:

  • 91% recover y from ore

  • 59% recovery from tailings

STAGE 1: WOF to process tailings then primary ore from underground STAGE 2: Crushing and grinding section added for primary ore
