Forward Strategy
----- End of picture text -----

  • Nickel

Continue to explore and grow the Fisher East resource – leverage for an improved nickel price

Zinc

Unlock the value of Teena via a spin out – keep exposure, but reduce the funding risk

Gold

$10M JV with Doray at Mt Fisher – minimum of $1 million to be spent in next 12 months

Copper

Add value through further exploration or divestment

  • Business Development

Continue to seek new project opportunities in nickel, copper, gold

Zinc Equivalent Calculations

Metal Equivalent Calculations

Clause 50 of the JORC Code (2012) states that the reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves for polymetallic deposits in terms of metal equivalents (a single equivalent grade of one major metal) must show details of all material factors contributing to the net value derived from each constituent. The following minimum information is required; individual grades for all metals used in the metal equivalent calculation, assumed commodity prices, assumed metallurgical recoveries, a clear statement that all of the elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have reasonable potential to be recovered and sold, and the calculation formula used.

Furthermore, in most circumstances the metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis should be the one that contributes most to the metal equivalent calculation and if this is not the case, a clear explanation of the logic of choosing another metal must be stated.

For polymetallic mineral deposits where zinc is one of the main metals, it is often used as a metal equivalent. Sometimes a gold equivalent is also published. In the case of this comparison of various deposits and the share of them owned by various ASX listed companies, a Zinc metal Equivalent (ZnEq) has been calculated.

The data has been extracted from various company reports as per the cross-references in the table on the following slide. In some cases metallurgical recoveries are not available, so the grade is reported as Zn+Pb, rather than ZnEq. For the purposes of this relative study, these data are fully disclosed so as to not be misleading. Those data in Slides 17 and 18 that are Zn+Pb rather than ZnEq, are shown in the table on the following slide.

The data in the table on the following slide list all of the grades and metallurgical recoveries used. The metal prices used are listed in the table below, and are based on the published 2018 Forecast price by PCF Capital Pty Ltd in their June 2016 Resources Thermometer.

The metal equivalent calculation formula is:

ZnEq = ((Zn x Zn Price) + (Pb x Pb Price x Pb Recovery / Zn Recovery) + (Ag x Ag Price x Ag Recovery / Zn Recovery) + (Au x Au Price x Au Recovery / Zn Recovery) + (Cu x Cu Price x Cu Recovery / Zn Recovery)) / Zn Price
