- A Significant Increase
– Open For Further Expansion
-
Apollo Hill Indicated and Inferred JORC Compliant Mineral Resource of 35.9 Mt @ 0.8g/t Au for 944,000oz reported above a cut-off grade of 0.4g/t Au and reported within an optimised pit shell[1]
-
Expansive gold mineralised system 400m - 500m wide
-
Published Resource constrained to maximum 250m depth
-
Simple, Big, Low Strip, Large Selective Mining Unit, Lower Unit Cost, Open Pit Potential
Within Three Years of IPO in March 2018 - Saturn Metals has:
-
Delivered an additional 439koz;
-
Converted 21.2Mt @ 0.8g/t Au for 556koz to an Indicated Mineral Resource representing 59% of the Inferred Mineral Resource; and
==> picture [454 x 127] intentionally omitted <==
-
Delivered and Converted 5.4oz for every metre drilled (good discovery and conversion cost).
-
1Details of the Mineral Resource breakdown by category are presented in the Table; the associated Competent Persons statement and details of the original ASX report that this information was originally published in are detailed on Slide 16 of this presentation.

-
9m @ 18.2g/t Au from 301m Incl. 5m @ 32.6g/t Au from 301m – AHRC0362.
-
Drilling continues to target higher grade plunging shoots to look for leverage to the deposits overall grade profile.

Preliminary Whittle pit optimizations using approximated regional mining and processing costs for multiple processing scenarios have been run on the resource model using a gold price of US$1,700/oz to generate a range of pit shells and cut-off grades. A pit shell for a combined mill and heap leach scenario representing a revenue factor of 1.4 was selected as a nominal constraint within which to report the Apollo Hill Mineral Resource, thereby satisfying the JORC Code requirement for a Mineral Resource to have reasonable prospects for
www.saturnmetals.com.au
eventual economic extraction. Other relevant information is described in the JORC Code Table 1 as appropriate. A nominal 0.4 g/t Au lower cut-off grade was selected for all material types. Classification is according to JORC Code Mineral Resource categories. Totals may vary due to rounded figures.
