About Western Queen Gold Project
==> picture [82 x 72] intentionally omitted <==
The Western Queen Gold Project lies 110km NW of Mt Magnet within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia (“the Project”). The Project comprises of two mining leases M59/45 and M59/208 (Rumble has now exercised the option to acquire 100% of those tenements from Ramelius Resources) and 2 exploration tenements E20/0967 and E59/2443 which are held 100% by the Company.
The Project is located within a 110km radius of three operating gold processing mills (see Image 2). The closest mill is the Dalgaranga Mill (48km) which has a capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. The Checkers Mill (Mt Magnet) has a capacity of 1.9 Mtpa and the Tuckabianna Mill has a capacity of 1.2 Mtpa.
The Project hosts the entire Warda Warra North-South trending mineralised greenstone belt which is 35km in length and up to 3km in width. The Greenstone Belt hosts the mineralised Western Queen Shear Zone which is up to 50m in width and holds a series of high-grade gold structures including two mined deposits for a combined historic production of 880,000t @ 7.6 g/t Au for 215,000oz. The Western Queen (Central) Mine produced 660,000t @ 8.9 g/t Au for 189,500oz and the Western Queen South Mine (from two stages) produced 220,000t @ 3.6 g/t Au for 25,500oz.
An updated mineral resource (Payne Geological Services Pty Ltd – Independent) was completed in January 2018. Rumble has reviewed and verified the indicated and inferred resource, and the Company estimates that the remaining resources beneath both mined deposits are of 962,000t @ 3.9 g/t Au for 120,000oz. See previous ASX Announcement dated 6 August 2019 “Option to Acquire High-Grade Western Queen Gold Project” for further details about the Project, the resource and the historical production.
The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the previous announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
