JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Statement – April 2020
The Mineral Resource Estimates were prepared by Darryl Mapleson (the Competent Person) a director of BMGS Global Mining Geology Consultants (BMGS) on 9[th] April 2020 to take into account the mining activities of the open pit and underground mining activity to August 2017. The Mineral Resources for both HHH and Paris have been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources .
| Depleted Mineral Resource Estimate | Depleted Mineral Resource Estimate | Depleted Mineral Resource Estimate | Depleted Mineral Resource Estimate | Depleted Mineral Resource Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit | Category | Tonnes | g/t Au | Ounce |
| Paris | Indicated | 81,000 | 4.50 | 11,700 |
| HHH | Indicated | 233,000 | 2.80 | 21,000 |
| Total | 314,000 | 3.24 | 32,700 |
The Paris Mineral Resource is reported above a block grade of 0.5 g/t Au using a 35 g/t Au top cut. The HHH Mineral Resource is reported above a block grade of 0.5 g/t Au using a 50 g/t Au top cut.
The Indicated Resource Estimate has previously been reported in the Torque Metals Limited Prospectus dated 14 April 2021, in the Independent Technical Assessment Report prepared by Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd and also in the Company’s Quarterly Report dated 30 July 2021 and ASX Announcement of 14 July 2021.
