Events Post 30 June 2021:
-
Structural mapping of the Golden Eagle underground mine has resulted in a new interpretation for the mineralisation in the central zone. Drilling to test this theory commenced in late July.
Ora Banda Mining Limited (ASX:OBM) (“Ora Banda”, “Company”) is pleased to report on its activities for the June quarter, a quarter in which the Company continued its open pit and underground mining operations at Riverina and Golden Eagle respectively, commenced operations at the Missouri open pit and continued commissioning the Davyhurst processing plant. Gold production for the Quarter was impacted by plant stability issues and lower than forecast grade into the plant; improvement initiatives are underway in both these areas.
Recruitment and training remained a high priority during the quarter. The labour market for skilled open pit mine workers in Western Australia remains extremely tight and highly competitive and this has in turn led to abnormally high workforce turnover levels. The inability to recruit suitable personnel from outside Western Australia due to travel restrictions and quarantine requirements associated with COVID-19 continues to negatively impact productivity in a very tight labour market. Ora Banda staffing levels were however improved quarter on quarter.

Project Report
Mining
In addition to ongoing mining at Riverina and Golden Eagle, mining operations commenced at the Missouri open pit. During the quarter initial machinery was mobilised to site and works commenced re-entering the historic pit and commencing preparations for full scale operations. A minor amount of ore was extracted from the Missouri pit during the quarter. A summary of mine production at Davyhurst is set out in the table below.

Open Pit Mining – Riverina
Open pit mining activities at Riverina continued during the quarter. Approximately seven and a half working days were lost due to weather events.
Productivity remained consistent, even with the increasing drill and blast requirements of the pit moving deeper. Late in the quarter the 200t digger was demobilised from Riverina to Missouri as part of a planned re-allocation of resources with the Riverina pit moving deeper and the Phase 1 waste movement requirements diminishing. The 200t digger moved some waste from the Phase 2 mine plan before its relocation.
For the full year the Riverina operations were slightly ahead of gold mined as compared to budget. Project to date, the mined gold from Riverina is broadly in line with the Ore Reserve, being approximately 1,000 oz mined in excess of the Reserve estimate, albeit being comprised of more tonnes at a lower grade.

Open Pit Mining – Missouri
During the quarter Ora Banda commenced mining operations at the Missouri open pit mine. Site offices and communications were established and some initial mining equipment was mobilised to site to enable preparatory works in and around the pit to commence. As previously mentioned, the 200t digger from Riverina was mobilised to site late in the month of June to commence cut back operations. The remaining trucks and a new excavator will be mobilised to site during the first quarter of financial year 2022.
The Missouri deposit has previously been mined, with the pit floor containing historically blasted material. The pit floor as well as the ramp needed some remedial work to enable operations to commence at full production levels, and this will be completed by the end of July. Ore will be mined as part of this process, with 6,339 t @ 1.28 g/t being mined during the June quarter.

Underground Mining – Golden Eagle
Operations at the Golden Eagle underground mine were dramatically improved during the quarter. Total development achieved for the quarter was 637m and total ore mined was 72,235 t @ 2.45 g/t for 5,692 oz. This equates to 1.9 times more development and 2.9 times more ore produced as compared to the prior quarter.

Ore drive underground at Golden Eagle
Similarly with open pit operations, the labour market for skilled underground mine workers in Western Australia remains extremely tight and highly competitive and this has in turn led to high workforce turnover levels. We are however pleased to report that, similar to Ora Banda, our underground contractor Pit N Portal has also improved their staffing, which greatly assisted the improved performance seen in the quarter.
Processing
Ore processed for the quarter totalled 201,817 tonnes at an average grade of 1.81 g/t for 11,733 oz of contained gold. A summary of process plant production at Davyhurst is set out in the table below.

Processing and processing plant throughput was negatively impacted by several significant factors during the quarter. The most significant of these remained around materials handling characteristics. Slurry viscosity of the predominantly oxide feed blend resulted in lower than forecast leach and adsorption tank slurry densities than design. This resulted in lower than forecast throughput early in the quarter. As the quarter progressed, and the percentage of oxide in the feed reduced, the viscosity issues previously seen in the plant decreased. The higher throughput capacity in the wet end of the plant was not however matched by the dry circuit of the
==> picture [445 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

plant, with several issues highlighted in the crushing circuit. The largest limitation was the SKALA double screen, which contributed to 46% of plant downtime in June due to oxide material blinding the screens and creating screen panel failures. Other downtime of note was contributed by power failures with every rain event. The company has arranged for powerline insulators to be replaced to address the power failure issue. The company continues to work with GR Engineering and SKALA on the screen issues. New panels with different physical characteristics designed to self clean are being installed in the screen late July. The Company has also arranged for a mobile crushing unit to supplement feed stock to the milling circuit while the crushing circuit is being rectified. The mobile crusher will also be arriving late July.
It is noted that the processed head grade increased from 1.53gpt to 1.81gpt quarter on quarter, reflecting improvements gained from Ora Banda’s stockpiling strategy and improved mining performance.
Projects
Construction of a new tailings storage facility (TSF) cell commenced during the quarter. Initial clearing and grubbing of the site was conducted by Ora Banda utilising its fleet of equipment. Construction work is scheduled to commence at the start of July and will be completed by contractors with the requisite skills and experience to ensure the tailings storage facility is constructed to a high standard.
Earthworks for the TSF are scheduled to be complete during the September quarter. Piping and other ancillary works will be completed the following quarter.
The on-site preparation laboratory project remains on track to be operational this coming quarter.
Exploration Report
Exploration and evaluation activities included drilling, assaying of samples and data evaluation at the Davyhurst Gold Project.
A total of 13,608.8 metres of mineral exploration and resource definition drilling were completed during the quarter. Drilling comprised:
-
Air-core 3,687 metres
-
Reverse Circulation 5,050 metres
-
Underground diamond 3,959 metres
-
Surface diamond 912.8 metres
Exploration and resource definition sample assay turnaround times are extremely long with results for the majority of exploration samples submitted during the quarter still pending.
Air Core Regional Exploration Drilling
A total of 3,687 metres of first pass air core drilling was completed during the quarter over three individual prospects. This completed the first phase of an ongoing program of drill testing a number of high priority grass root targets that are dispersed throughout the project area. Assay results for the bulk of these samples are still pending. The air core rig demobilised from site during the quarter. Once assay results are received and reviewed a second phase of drilling will be implemented to follow up anomalous results and test further targets identified in ongoing project reviews.

Riverina South (including British Lion) Resource Infill Drilling
A total of 50 metres of resource definition drilling was completed at the northern end of British Lion, drilling consisted of 1 Diamond tail for 50 m (RVDD20199), this completing the last of all planned phase 3 drilling.
The maiden Mineral Resource for the Riverina South Project (as declared 9 October 2020) totalled 650,000 t at 2.1 g/t for 43,000 oz which includes both an open pit component (includes material constrained within A$2,400 optimised pit shells with a grade greater than 0.5 g/t Au) and an underground component (includes material that is outside the A$2,400 pit shells with a grade greater than 2.0 g/t Au). The current drilling, aimed at upgrading this inferred resource to an indicated category, is now complete and work has commenced on the resource estimation upgrade which will then potentially lead to the establishment of an Ore Reserve position for this deposit. The resource estimation upgrade will be completed in the September quarter once all assay results have been received.
The Company is currently evaluating the viability of including potential mine extensions associated with the Riverina South deposit into the current mine plan.

Notes
-
Missouri, Sand King, Riverina, Waihi, Callion & Golden Eagle Mineral Resources have been updated in accordance with all relevant aspects of the JORC code 2012, and initially released to ASX on 15 December 2016 & 26 May 2020 (Missouri), 3 January 2017 & 26 May 2020 (Sand King), 2 December 2019 & 26 May 2020 (Riverina), 4 February 2020 (Waihi), 15 May 2020 & 29 June 2020 (Callion) & 8 April 2020 (Golden Eagle).
-
All Mineral Resources listed above, with the exception of the Missouri, Sand King, Riverina, Waihi, Callion & Golden Eagle Mineral Resources, were prepared previously and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004 (refer Swan Gold Mining Limited prospectus released to ASX on 13 February 2013). These Mineral Resources have not been updated in accordance with JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was first reported.
-
Riverina, Waihi, Sand King, Missouri and Callion Open Pit Mineral Resource Estimates are reported within a A$2,400/oz pit shell above 0.5g/t. The Riverina, Waihi, Sand King, Missouri, Callion and Golden Eagle Underground Mineral Resource Estimates are reported from material outside a A$2,400 pit shell and above 2.0 g/t.
-
Values in the above table have been rounded.

Notes:
-
Values in the above table have been rounded.
-
Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes and the application of modifying factors for mining dilution and ore loss.
-
For the open pit Ore Reserve dilution skins were applied to the undiluted LUC Mineral Resource estimate at zero grade. The in-pit global dilution is estimated to be 29% at Sand King, 43% at Missouri, 22% at Riverina, 13% at Waihi and 23% at Callion all of which were applied at zero grade. The lower dilution at Riverina, Waihi and Callion reflecting the softer lode boundary and allows for inherent dilution within the lode wireframe. All Inferred Mineral Resources were considered as waste at zero grade.
-
Open Pit Ore Reserve was estimated using incremental cut-off grades specific to location and weathering classification. They range from 0.54 g/t to 0.69 g/t Au and are based on a price of A$2,100 per ounce and include ore transport, processing, site overheads and selling costs and allow for process recovery specific to the location and domain and which range from 85% (Sand King fresh ore) to 95%.
-
Approximately 100,000t at 1.8 g/t at Riverina was downgraded from Proved to Probable due to uncertainty at the time surrounding metallurgical recovery. Subsequent test work estimated the Riverina recoveries to be 90.1%, 97.6% and 94.3% for oxide, transition and fresh, respectively.
-
Underground Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes derived from expanded wireframes to allow for unplanned dilution. A miscellaneous unplanned dilution factor of 5% at zero grade was also included. The global dilution factor was estimated to be 32% with an average grade of 0.77 g/t Au.
-
Underground Ore Reserve was estimated using stoping cut-off of 2.7 g/t Au which allows for ore drive development, stoping and downstream costs such as ore haulage, processing, site overheads and selling costs. An incremental cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au was applied to ore drive development and considers downstream costs only. Cut-off grades were derived from a base price of A$2,100 per ounce and allow for an assumed process recovery of 92%. Subsequent test work estimated the Golden Eagle fresh recovery to be 90.6%.
