Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited (ASX:COB) CuDeco Rocklands Project Testwork MOU

$
0
0
Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited (ASX:COB) (OTCMKTS:CBBHF) and CuDeco Limited (ASX:CDU) announce that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), an important stepping stone to determine if the cobalt-pyrite at the Rocklands project can produce cobalt products and create additional revenue for both companies.

MOU KEY POINTS:

- CDU would like to explore opportunities to monetise the cobalt-pyrite concentrate produced from the flotation concentrator circuit at the Rocklands project and will provide COB a representative 5-15 kg cobalt-pyrite sample.

- COB will perform laboratory test-work using the proprietary technology it has developed with results due within 12 weeks of receiving the sample.

- After reviewing the test results, COB and CDU will discuss what further cooperation involving marketing/processing contracts or joint venture development of cobalt products both locally and overseas may be possible.

Potential Similarity of Cobalt-Pyrite mineral resources

COB's positive metallurgical work to date has identified a processing path that is demonstrating strong recoveries of cobalt from the cobalt-pyrite mineral resources at Thackaringa. CDU has cobalt-pyrite mineral resources which are not currently being commercialised at the Rocklands copper project, located in Queensland and this MOU is designed to ascertain if the COB process has the potential to unlock economic value for CDU.

Investors should note that the CDU Rocklands Project:

(i) currently produces approximately 1.4t/day (100% contained cobalt) cobalt-pyrite flotation circuit tailings; and

(ii) the 2015 Updated Resource Estimate identified 16,500t contained cobalt (http://www.abnnewswire.net/lnk/JM0XVG59).

COB View

COB's agreement with CDU, and ongoing discussions with other parties, provides considerable confidence in the COB Board's strategy to deliver a highly efficient metallurgical route for specific types of cobalt orebodies, following the development of its proprietary process.

The 5-15kg of sample material from Rocklands will provide a simple proof of the COB process for CDU. The aim is to demonstrate the ability of the process to perform the following key steps:

1. Pyrolysis, including production of elemental sulphur; and

2. Leaching of the calcine, to extract cobalt into solution.

The initial test work will not optimise recoveries, as this will be the subject of further studies, if the preliminary work is successful.

Speedcast Wins ACOMM Community Contribution Award for Work on Christmas Island

$

Speedcast International Limited (ASX:SDA), the world's most trusted provider of remote communication and IT solutions, has received an annual Australian Communications Industry Award (ACOMM) in the Community Contribution category for its continuing work on Christmas Island, a remote Australian territory in the Indian Ocean. ACOMM awards recognize excellence in the communications industry in Australia.

Speedcast received the ACOMM award for its fast action, strong operational expertise and customer service after the local ISP ceased to provide internet services to the 1,900 Christmas Island locals and businesses in March 2017. The disconnection cut off locals from friends and family on the mainland and impeded their ability to conduct business and order food for the island.

After negotiations with the Australian government, Speedcast was able to implement a high-speed satellite link to re-establish connectivity on the island within a week of the initial loss of service. Speedcast now provides residents with wireless and 4G network services. Initially, the Australian government granted Speedcast a three-month contract; however, the island has now chosen Speedcast as its main service provider.

Speedcast continues to invest in the community on Christmas Island and has recently partnered with Vocus, a leading telecommunications company based in Melbourne, Australia, to deliver a significant level of fiber connectivity capacity to the island via the Vocus Australia Singapore Cable (ASC), a 4,600 km submarine cable system that will connect Australia to Singapore via Indonesia. Testing is currently underway, with the ASC connection to Christmas Island expected to go live in late 2018.

Combined, the satellite and fiber solution is expected to benefit government agencies, businesses, residential services, the airport and hospital, tourism and more on the island.

"It's an honor to be recognized with an ACOMM award for our work on Christmas Island," said Pierre-Jean Beylier, CEO, Speedcast. "Partnering with Vocus will help us continue to provide residents with a high quality connectivity experience, so they can grow and thrive without worrying about being cut off from the mainland."

"Vocus and Speedcast have worked together on a number of mission-critical projects across the region and we are very pleased to be partnering with Speedcast for the delivery of reliable, high speed internet and communication services to Christmas Island," said Vocus Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Russell. "With the fast-growing Asian region rapidly becoming a new center of internet connectivity, many people will benefit from the ASC's superior speeds and design to take advantage of the opportunities the digital economy presents."

Natasha Griggs, the administrator of Christmas Island, congratulated Speedcast on winning the ACOMM Community Contribution Award for stepping in to deliver wireless and 4G network services on Christmas Island during a challenging transition period. "I look forward to Speedcast delivering improved high-speed internet services to the island by the end of the year via the recently laid Australia-Singapore fiber optic cable. This is a major enhancement that will be welcomed by the government, businesses, residents and tourists alike."

Australian Potash Ltd (ASX:APC) Grant of Mining Leases at the Lake Wells Sulphate of Potash Project

$

Australian Potash Limited (ASX:APC) (APC) is pleased to advise that Mining Leases have been granted at the Lake Wells Sulphate of Potash project (see Figure 1 in link below). The Mining Leases cover an area in excess of 30,000 hectares of the Lake Wells playa and underlying palaeochannel system.

Highlights:

- Major milestone achieved with the grant of Mining Leases required to develop and operate the Lake Wells SOP Project

- Grant of the Mining Leases is a significant achievement in the Approval work stream being finalised through the Definitive Feasibility Study

- Mining Leases cover the development area required for Stage 1 (150,000 tonnes per annum SOP production) and Stage 2 (+150,000 tpa SOP)(see Note i below)

The Lake Wells SOP project currently carries a 2012 JORC Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 14.7 million tonnes of recoverable SOP, with a sector high 12.7Mt in the Indicated categoryi, which reflects the long (+55 kilometres), deep (+174m) and wide (+4 kilometres) palaeochannel that APC has delineated at the Project (see Figure 2 in link below).

The area of the granted Mining Leases covers the proposed brine bore-field, evaporation ponds, processing plant, and associated infrastructure including accommodation village, airstrip and power station.

APC's Lake Wells SOP Project development includes an all-weather bore field brine abstraction network developed into the extensive palaeochannel identified. Test-pumping results from the existing 5 production wells developed into the palaeochannel at Lake Wells have yielded very high long-term pump test flow rates in excess of 15 litres per second (see Note ii below). Stage 1 of the Lake Wells SOP project calls for a bore-field comprising approximately 35 bores, with 20% of this capacity to be built, commissioned and pump-tested prior to the completion of the DFS.

All of the brine SOP projects being proposed in Australia source their brine from a playa (or lake surface) which by definition means they are at the bottom of regional catchment areas, which is where water flows in flood. APC's exclusive use of bores to recover brine will mitigate to a very large extent the construction and operational risks associated with weather events. In addition, as the depth of the bores developed at Lake Wells are up to 174 metres, the bore network will be able to access the entire brine resource, which commences at surface and extends to the very bottom of the palaeochannel.

Managing Director Matt Shackleton commented: "This is a major milestone on the approvals pathway and a significant step towards completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study.

"We've always been very confident in our resource, with our palaeochannel modelling being based on nearly thirteen hundred drill holes, over fifty two thousand metres of drilling and in excess of 300 kilometres of ground based seismic lines. Having access to this massive palaeochannel mitigates several areas of risk around brine abstraction.

"We have some additional work to do around a reserve estimate, which combined with our geotechnical program will form the basis of the field work over the next quarter.

"With the grant of these mining leases, the next two quarters are shaping up to deliver some of the most significant de-risking events for the Lake Wells project's development cycle. We look forward to providing regular updates to shareholders on our progress as we achieve further milestones."

Mining Leases granted are M38/1274, M38/1275 and M38/1276.

0
Mithril Resources Ltd ("Mithril") (ASX:MTH) is pleased to advise that two tenements (EL's 04/2497 and 2503) at its 100% - owned Billy Hills Zinc Project (located adjacent to the former Pillara Zinc Mine, 25 kms southeast of Fitzroy Crossing in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia - see Figure 1 in link below) have been granted and four initial targets have been prioritised for field follow-up.

- Four initial targets prioritised for follow-up on newly granted tenements

- Targeting large scale zinc + lead + silver deposits similar to the nearby Pillara deposit and along strike from known mineralisation

- Target prospectivity highlighted by elevated rock chip results up to 14.24% zinc + lead, an untested IP geophysical anomaly and broad zones of bedrock anomalism in historic drill intercepts;

o 3.0m @ 4.41% zinc + lead from 77 metres,

o 5.0m @ 1.4% zinc + lead from 274 metres including 3m @ 1.88% zinc + lead from 277 metres,

o 14.90m @ 1.0% zinc + lead from 179.10 metres, and

o 5.80m @ 1.04% zinc + lead from 225.20 metres

At Billy Hills, Mithril is targeting large scale zinc + lead + silver deposits within NNE - NNW orientated fault zones immediately along strike from elevated rock chip samples and historic drill intercepts.

The targets are under-explored with the bulk of historic drilling and geophysical testing carried out on the adjacent Pillara Mine Lease (ML04/118) which is not owned by Mithril. The pre-mine resource of 18.05 million tonnes at 7.7% Zn and 2.4% Pb and produced 10.3 Mt @ 6.9% Zn, 2.3% Pb from June 1997 to October 2003 (See Mithril's ASX Announcement dated 21 August 2017).

Management Comment

Mithril's Managing Director Mr David Hutton said that the Company was looking forward to commencing field work at Billy Hills.

"We are pleasantly surprised by how many prospective areas remain to be tested at Billy Hills, given the amount of exploration that has previously taken place at Pillara. Our review of the historic exploration data has highlighted four initial targets and we're confident that further targets will emerge as exploration progresses".

"Along with our Kurnalpi Nickel Project, near Kalgoorlie and the new Bangemall Base Metal Project, north west of Meekatharra, Billy Hills is an immediate priority for the Company".

Target Details (see Figures 2 - 5 in link below)

Target A (1.8 km2 area) lies over the northern end of a soil - covered NNW trending fault zone (which is developed parallel to the main Pillara controlling fault zone). Prospectivity is highlighted by elevated rock chip samples (up to 14.24% zinc + lead - see Table 2) and broad zones of anomalism in reconnaissance drill holes undertaken in the southern target area, i.e.;

- 3.0m @ 4.41% zinc + lead from 77 metres in PD508,

- 5.0m @ 1.4% zinc + lead from 274 metres in PLR0510 including 3m @ 1.88% zinc + lead from 277 metres,

- 14.90m @ 1.0% zinc + lead from 179.10 metres and 5.80m @ 1.04% zinc + lead from 225.20 metres in PLR0509, and

- 1.7m @ 1.39% zinc + lead from 215 metres, 6.0m @ 0.68% zinc + lead from 249 metres, and 9.0m @ 0.57% zinc + lead from 268 metres in PD646.

An untested Induced Polarisation ("IP") chargeability anomaly overlying the NNW fault within the northern target area also strengthens the prospectivity of Target A.

IP is a geophysical technique that was used extensively at Pillara in the past to identify the presence of marcasite (iron sulphide) mineralisation which typically forms a halo around economic zinc + lead mineralisation.

Target B (0.7km2 area) is located 3.5 kilometres south along strike of the Pillara deposit and includes numerous anomalous rock chip samples (up to 9.3% zinc + lead - see Table 2) which have been taken at surface from gossanous outcrops within a major fault system. The majority of the target is under cover and has not been previously drilled or subject to geophysical surveying.

Target C (0.2km2) is located in the central project area, south along strike from Target A and covers a 150 metre - long zone of surface mineralisation (rock chip sampling up to 7.26% zinc + lead - See Table 2) present within the same major NNW fault zone that hosts Target A. A shallow diamond drill hole (PD510) beneath the rock chip samples returned 2m @ 0.59% zinc + lead from 22 metres and has not been followed up.

Targets D (1.3km2) is located in the southern project area and covers a 1 kilometre - long NNE trending mineralised fault zone (rock chip samples up to 10.98% zinc + lead and 98 g/t silver - see Table 2) that has been poorly drill tested with only three wide-spaced drill holes, two of which returned anomalous mineralisation;

- 2.0m @ 1.05% zinc + lead from 39 metres in PD514, and 4.0m @ 0.71% zinc + lead from 89 metres in PD512.

The fault zone extends under cover and has not been the subject to any follow-up drilling or geophysical surveying.

Next Steps

Mithril plans to follow-up the targets with a combination of geophysics (Induced Polarisation - "IP") and diamond drilling and the Company is currently negotiating a Heritage Protection Agreement with the Gooniyandi Aboriginal Corporation (the Registered Native Title Claimants for the project area) to establish protocols for on-ground exploration activities at Billy Hills.

At the time of writing, negotiations were progressing well with the expectation that an agreement will be reached during September or early October 2018 and Mithril will provide further updates as new information comes to hand.

About the Pillara Deposit and Pillara West Prospect (located on ML04/118 which is not owned by Mithril)

At the Pillara Deposit, zinc + lead +/- silver mineralisation is hosted by structurally controlled zones of breccia and vein development which are spatially associated with a series of large scale NNE - NNW orientated fault zones that cut a sequence of Devonian-age limestones.

The mine had a reported pre-mine resource of 18.05 million tonnes at 7.7% Zn and 2.4% Pb and produced 10.3 Mt @ 6.9% Zn, 2.3% Pb from June 1997 to October 2003 (See Mithril's ASX Announcement dated 21 August 2017). Mining briefly resumed during 2007 / 2008 and the mine site is now closed.

The area's prospectivity is further enhanced by the Pillara West Prospect which is located 300 - 500 metres west of existing underground workings at Pillara and 300 metres from Mithril's tenement boundary. The prospect was discovered in 2006 by Lennard Shelf Pty Ltd, the owners of the mine who conducted multiple drilling programs at Pillara West right up to the mine's closure in 2008.

Mineralisation at Pillara West occurs within a shallow-dipping zone of mineralised (zinc-lead-marcasite-calcite) rubble limestone breccias and veining, drilling of which has returned multiple intercepts including;

- 15.8m @ 6.80% zinc, 3.05% lead, 30g/t silver from 399.8 metres in PD785 including 3.3m @ 11.10% zinc, 5.30% lead, 66g/t silver,

- 19.1m @ 7.60% zinc, 2.10% lead, 17g/t silver from 385.4 metres in PDD796 including 11.9m @ 10.40% zinc, 3.20% lead, 25g/t silver, and

- 11.0m @ 8.20% zinc, 8.80% lead, 26g/t silver from 347.0 metres in PD802 including 4.0m @ 11.80% zinc, 17.20% lead, 45g/t silver.

Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited (ASX:COB) Bankable Feasibility Study Drilling Campaign and Project Optimisation Studies

$

Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited (ASX:COB) (OTCMKTS:CBBHF) announces Bankable Feasibility Study commences with drilling campaign and project optimisation studies.

KEY POINTS:

- Following completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), the Thackaringa Cobalt Project has entered the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) phase. We are pleased to update the market on progress.

- Cobalt Blue Holdings Limited (ASX:COB) is commencing the largest single drilling campaign at Thackaringa - in excess of 15,000 metres will be drilled over the coming six months. Previously, between 2H 2016 and 1H 2018, COB has drilled a total of 20,445 metres (38 diamond drill holes, 93 RC drill holes, and 3 RC drill holes with diamond tails) over three campaigns.

- Updated Resource Model due end Q2 2019.

2018-2019 Drilling Program Aims:

The drilling campaign has five broad aims:

- Improved Mineral Resource classification - defining Measured Resources.

- Growth of Mineral Resources - exploration along margins of existing mineralised bodies.

- Confirmation of the location of infrastructure and site layout - geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling for project infrastructure and process plant civil works.

- Overburden definition - identification of oxide and/or transition layer(s).

- Blue-sky exploration - follow up previously identified geophysical anomalies.

Improved Resource Classification

Based on the results of the PFS, COB is aiming to define a component of Measured Mineral Resources. This will require in-fill drilling at approximately 40 metre spacing to improve geological confidence and data density. During the BFS Mining Study, Measured Mineral Resources will be evaluated for conversion to Proven Ore Reserves. Typically, the target quantity for Proven Ore Reserves would be sufficient to fulfil the initial 3 to 5 year period of the proposed project production, as defined in the BFS.

Additional in-fill drilling will target improved classification of Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources. Indicated Mineral Resources will be evaluated for conversion into Probable Ore Reserves during the BFS Mining Study.

Mineral Resource Growth

In the upcoming campaign, COB is aiming to increase the Inferred Mineral Resources by targeting down-dip extensions at the Pyrite Hill deposit and shallow strike extensions at the Big Hill and Railway deposits. As part of the BFS, COB is targeting a 20+ year mine life with growth of the overall Mineral Resource a key component of achieving this target. For clarity, future additional drilling campaigns are expected to be undertaken following completion of the 2H 2018 to 1H 2019 program which is described in this announcement.

Exploration targets identified for current and future phases of exploration drilling are summarised in Table 1(see link below), and the location of these targets with respect to the Mineral Resources are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3(see link below).

Oxidation Boundary Definition

COB will drill near-surface holes to better define the oxide and/or transition oxide-sulphide layers which represent shallow overburden (10-25 metres) on top of the fresh sulphide ore. To date (in the PFS and Scoping Study), oxidised and partially oxidised material was excluded from the reported Mineral Resources and subsequently proposed mining and processing studies. The drilling campaign will identify if any cobalt is present through the oxidation profile, and if so, related metallurgical studies will then be undertaken.

Infrastructure and Site Layout

In support of continuing technical studies commissioned for the broader BFS, COB will complete additional drilling for the purposes of geotechnical, hydrological and hydrogeological assessment related to infrastructure, mining and process plant planning.

Blue-sky exploration

In September 2017, the entire project area (63km2) was surveyed using a heliborne electromagnetic (EM) survey (VTEM-Max) at a nominal 100 metre line spacing. Several strong EM responses outside of the existing Mineral Resources (Pyrite Hill, Railway Deposit and Big Hill) were recorded and have now been cross-checked with coincident geophysical (Induced Polarisation) and geochemical anomalism (see Figure 4 in link below). In the upcoming drilling campaign, COB will undertake some preliminary drilling at these targets during the proposed program.

We look forward to keeping the market informed as the campaign results become available during Q4 2018 and Q1 2019. An updated Mineral Resource statement is due by the end of Q1 CY2019.

Over the period 2H CY 2016 to 1H CY2018, COB has delivered a 118% increase in total Mineral Resource tonnes and a 124% increase in contained cobalt (inclusive of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource classifications). This growth in total Mineral Resources and improvement of classification is shown in Figure 5(see link below).

The Thackaringa Cobalt Project

The Thackaringa Cobalt Project (the Project) is located approximately 23 km west-southwest of Broken Hill and comprises four tenements for a total area of 63 km2. The project is subject to a farm-in agreement between COB and Broken Hill Prospecting Limited (ASX:BPL) (OTCMKTS:BPLNF).

The tenements host three large tonnage cobalt-bearing pyrite deposits with a reported Mineral Resource of 72 million tonnes at 852ppm cobalt (Co), 9.3% sulphur (S) & 10% iron (Fe) for 61Kt contained cobalt (at a 500ppm cobalt cut-off).

The Mineral Resource estimate at Thackaringa is apportioned to the three main deposits as detailed in Table 2(see link below).

Thackaringa Project Optimisation Studies

COB is progressing several option studies identified in the PFS. These opportunities are explained below:

Target Revenue Increases:

- Life of Mine: The production target identified in the PFS provided an initial mine life of 12.8 years at a steady-state throughput of 5.25 million tonnes per annum ore. This mine life is limited largely by current available geological information, rather than economic factors. In other words, the mineral resource of 72 million tonnes limited the production target and remains the most significant upside factor in our focus. Given that the development capital is largely expended in the early years of the project, increasing mine life will drive significant free cash flow generation for the project. Our aspirational target is a 20+ year project and for shareholders this is a substantially different investment. The market can expect a mineral resource update by the end of Q1 2019.

- Cobalt and Sulphur Recoveries: The PFS assumed a conservative 85.5% cobalt recovery (in ground to payable metal), including (negative) allowances for scale-up from the existing laboratory testwork results of 88.5% metal recovery. Our long-term target is to achieve a 90% cobalt recovery. A bulk test work program is being commissioned that will enable COB to undertake more detailed marketing studies and build confidence with potential commercial partners. The market can expect an update on recoveries by the end of Q2 2019.

Target Cost Reductions:

- Power: The PFS identified that approximately 22% of operational cash costs were related to grid power consumption.

COB will perform the following power related studies - to be completed by end of Q2 2019:

o Optimising waste heat capture and re-use - how much energy can be recycled?

o Optimising the daily load profile - how much peak energy can be avoided?

o Distributed energy generation and storage - how much energy can be generated on-site? Can energy storage (e.g.: Li-ion batteries) be used effectively to shift demand away from peak time-of-day prices?

- Process Plant Tailings: Tailings and associated handling represented approximately 10% of operational cash costs in the PFS. COB is undertaking optimisation studies which are expected to be completed by early Q4 2018.

Independent Review - Wood PLC

In parallel with the above studies, Wood PLC (formerly AMEC Foster Wheeler), a leading global engineering firm, has been engaged to provide a gap analysis review of the PFS. This review, expected to be finalised shortly, will help shape the BFS scope and ensure that critical study areas are being addressed with appropriate resources.

Australian Bauxite Ltd (ASX:ABX) Half Yearly Report

$
0
0
Australian Bauxite Ltd (ASX:ABX) provides the Company's Half Yearly Report.

Activities during the half-year

1. ALCORE bauxite refining technology development

2. Feasibility study of the Binjour Bauxite project inland from Bundaberg Port, central Queensland

3. Bauxite mining and processing operations in Tasmania, exporting via Bell Bay Port of Launceston

4. Assessment and development of the Penrose bauxite deposit, 90km inland from Port Kembla

ALCORE Bauxite Refining Technology

During the half-year, ABx incorporated ALCORE Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary to fund and manage the ALCORE Project, leading to the construction of an ALCORE Production Plant to produce Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3) and valuable co-products, using new technology (patent application. See Figure 1 in link below).

ALCORE technology is for refining raw bauxite, with a market price of US$50, into high-value products worth more than US$800 per tonne (see Figure 2 in link below), including:

a. Aluminium Fluoride (AlF3), an electrolyte for aluminium smelters & lithium ion batteries;

b. Silica fume for stronger concrete and production of low CO2 geopolymer cement;

c. Corethane, an ultra-pure hydrocarbon for generating electricity and heat when used as a substitute for gas or diesel fuels, increasing fuel security & reducing CO2 emissions;

d. Refractory-grade bauxite & hi-purity alumina (HPA) to make scratch-resistant sapphire glass

ABx has granted an unrestricted bauxite refining technology licence to ALCORE which ABx believes will be the first Australian supplier of AlF3 to the Australasian Aluminium Smelters and one other overseas market. ALCORE is engaged in ongoing cooperation with all relevant customers.

Operations on schedule: Stage 1 of the ALCORE Project commenced on 1 July 2018 at the ALCORE Research Centre at Berkley Vale, Central Coast NSW for the production of AlF3 test samples.

Funding is in place to complete Stage 1, scheduled to take 3 months from 1 July for final design, 1 month for final permitting, followed by 3 months construction and up to 5 months of production.

ALCORE's Master Agreement with a major engineering firm will ensure senior engineers for Stage 1 and the production plant. The engineers have studied this technology for two years and has presented plans to expedite production of the samples for customers.

Engineers on site. When the research centre was readied, senior chemical engineering staff went to site. The first tasks are to build a laboratory facility, verify the process, make AlF3 products and take engineering measurements to improve the design of the production plant.

Strategic plans: Once sufficient AlF3 samples are provided to customers and the requisite engineering factors for an AlF3 production plant are determined, the research centre will test the production of Corethane which will fuel electric generators and heaters for ALCORE's Production Plant. Corethane can power large gas turbine electrical generators and be a diesel substitute for fuel security purposes. Corethane has significant energy and industrial potential.

ALCORE technology is relatively low-risk because it operates at ambient temperatures & pressures.

ALCORE is holding ongoing discussions with governments, agencies and companies that have showed strong interest in both AIF3 and the main co-products, Corethane and silica fume.

Blackham Resources Ltd (ASX:BLK) Wiluna Gold Resources Continue to Grow

$

0
Blackham Resources Ltd (ASX:BLK) (OTCMKTS:BKHRF) ("Blackham") is pleased to provide a revised Mineral Resource estimate for the Matilda-Wiluna Operation of 96Mt @ 2.2g/t for 6.7Moz of gold, which includes Indicated Resources of 69Mt @ 1.7/t for 3.88Moz. Mineral Reserve calculation is currently underway and will be reported in the near future.

Highlights

- Total Resources now 96Mt @ 2.2g/t for 6.7Moz (58% Indicated Resource)

- Resources increase 9% (544,000oz) in 1 year after mining depletion

- Measured and Indicated Resources increase 25% (771,000oz) in 1 year after mining depletion

- Wiluna open pit resources now total 19Mt @ 2.5g/t for 1.5Moz which have been delineated at a cost of $7/resource oz

- Resource continuity reinforced at Wiluna with pit designs stretching over 3.5kms

The changes in the resource results from the combined effects of successful further drill testing in some areas, mining depletions at Matilda, a change of resource modelling process for some deposits (ordinary kriging ('OK') to localised uniform conditioning ('LUC')), revised pit shells and the initial inclusion of the Wiluna Tailings mineralisation.

Approximately 1.3Moz of the resource base is free-milling and can be processed through the existing Wiluna CIP plant. Feasibility studies are currently being completed on Blackham's 620,000oz of tailings with a view to treating them through the existing free milling circuit. The remainder of the mineralisation is sulphide ore requiring treatment through the Wiluna sulphide circuit. Blackham is working towards the completion of the feasibility study to justify the capital to re-establish the sulphide circuit and treat the sulphide ores. Subject to a successful completion of the feasibility study and sourcing of the required funding, it is expected a decision to proceed will be made in 2019, enabling significantly higher gold production through exploiting the large and higher-grade feed sourced from both deeper pits and large scale underground mining.

Mineral Resource Estimate

Wiluna Gold Deposit Summary

The Wiluna and Matilda gold deposits are located within the Wiluna Goldfield, close to the town of Wiluna at latitude 26DEG38'S, longitude 120DEG15'E on the Wiluna (SG 51-9) 1:250 000 scale map. Perth, the nearest capital city, lies 750km to the southeast.

The gold deposits are categorised as orogenic gold deposits, with similarities to many other gold deposits in the Yilgarn region. The deposits are hosted within the Wiluna Domain of the Wiluna Greenstone Belt. Rocks in the Wiluna Domain have experienced greenschist-facies regional metamorphism and brittle deformation. The Wiluna Domain is comprised of a sequence of foliated basalts and high-magnesium basalts, with intercalated felsic intrusions, lamprophyre dykes, metasediments, and dolerites.

Wiluna ores are typically oxide, refractory or free milling quartz mineralisation. The refractory ore has most gold occurring in either solid solution or as sub-microscopic particles within fine-grained sulphides. Mineralisation at Wiluna is principally controlled by the shear zones which have variable strike and dip orientations and typically flex along strike and down dip. These flexures in conjunction with favourable host rock composition act to form the best ore zones.

Estimation Methodology

The interpretation of the mineralisation was carried out using a methodical approach to ensure continuity of the geology and estimated mineral resource. For the open pit resources, a lower cut-off grade of 0.3g/t was used to wireframe the deposit and 0.5g/t bottom cut is used for reporting. Underground resources have been interpreted at a lower cut-off grade more suitable for longhole stoping mining methods.

All available geological data was used in the interpretation including mapping, drilling, oxidation surfaces and interpretations of high grade ore shoots. Only diamond and reverse circulation drilling samples were used in the final estimate however all available grade control data was used in the geological assessment. Models have been estimated using OK with some open pit resources having LUC applied as a post processing step.

A range of criteria were considered when addressing the suitability of the classification boundaries to the resource estimate:

o Geological continuity and volume models;

o Drill spacing and available mining information;

o Modelling technique

o Estimation properties including search strategy, number of informing composites, average distance of composites from blocks, number of drillholes used and kriging quality parameters.

The classification of the blocks was also visually checked and adjusted to remove any "spotted dog" effects. No measured resources were calculated. Estimated blocks that have been informed by predominantly historical drilling where QA/QC data has not been reviewed were assigned as inferred.

Wiluna open pit resource update

The 2018 Wiluna open pit resources (OP) were reported within a A$1800/oz pit shell. The shells have been revised from 2017 based on new mining and cost parameters. Revised weathering/oxidation surfaces have also been applied to all resource models in 2018 to better reflect recent drilling and metallurgical test work. The free milling resources in the top 60-80m now totals 5.1Mt @ 1.43g/t for 236koz (96% indicated). Blackham is currently reviewing stand alone free-milling (oxide) pits at Wiluna in conjunction with the larger sulphide expansion study Figure 1(see link below).

Updated resource estimates were completed for the Moonlight/Adelaide Shear area. Cube Consulting were engaged to produce the gold grade estimate (LUC) based on a mineralisation interpretation completed by Blackham geologists. The Mineral Resource was peer reviewed and classified with guidance from Cube.

Further updates to the OP resources were completed at Golden Age North, Wiluna Queen, Magazine and Old Camp using OK. In 2017 these were only reported as an UG resource. In-line with the rest of the Wiluna resource reporting they have now been split between an OP and UG resource.

Previously reported resource estimates for Wiluna including the East and West Lode (ASX Ann: 03/08/2017) and Wiluna North (ASX Ann: 12/10/2017) remain unchanged aside from the updated weathering/oxidation surfaces and reporting from a revised pit shell. These resources still need to be updated for the 20,705m of drilling completed in 2018.

Wiluna underground resource update

Wiluna underground resources are now 21.5Mt @ 4.72g/t for 3.26Moz (42% indicated). Revised underground (UG) models were completed for the Wiluna East and West lodes that has incorporated drilling done along the strike of the main shear zones from surface down to depths of up to 300m. This has resulted in an additional 40koz of indicated resources predominantly near existing UG infrastructure within 250m of the surface. The indicated resource for both the East and West lode combined now stands at 1.8Mt @ 5.03g/t for 285koz.

The Golden Age UG resource has been depleted with mining. A significant diamond drilling programme is underway targeting depth extensions to Golden Age (ASX Ann: 12/06/2018). The on-going drilling will also test zones at greater depth (a further 120m lower) to enable early assessment for a significant additional resource increase. The ongoing drilling is currently being assessed with resource model updates to follow.

Matilda open pit resource update

The resource models for M1 and M2 have been updated to include new resource definition drilling. Models have been estimated by Cube Consulting using LUC. For M1 additional mining depletions have been applied to the resource based on a comprehensive review of historical mining documentation. The M3 and M4 deposits have been depleted with final mining shapes with M3 having additional areas (compared to last update) depleted due to the backfilling of the pit.

Williamson open pit resource update

The Williamson OP resource has been updated based on a mineralisation interpretation completed by Blackham geologists with Cube Consulting engaged to produce the gold grade estimate (LUC). The update was based on additional drilling, revised geological understanding of the mineralisation and a review of historical data.

This has resulted in an increase in the 2017 figure of 50koz of Indicated Resource falling within the OP resource. The Indicated OP resource now stands at 4.0Mt @ 1.68g/t for 219koz.

Wiltails resource update

Further to the ASX announcement Wiluna Tailings (Wiltails) - Maiden Resource on the 24/06/2018, a sonic drilling and sampling program was completed in July. The program commenced in June with a total of 9 holes drilled for 231m. The aim of the program was to provide in situ density data, to confirm the recent AC drilling results and to improve the classification of Dam H from inferred to indicated. The programme also completed Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) periodically during drilling to obtain density, strength and consolidation characteristics for the tailings.

Australian Potash Ltd (ASX:APC) and Salt Lake Potash (ASX:SO4) to Study Benefits of Cost Sharing at Lake Wells

$
0
0
Australian Potash Limited (ASX:APC) and Salt Lake Potash Limited (ASX:SO4) (LON:SO4) are pleased to advise that the Companies have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Co-operation Agreement to undertake a joint study of the potential benefits of development cost sharing for each Company's project developments at Lake Wells.

Highlights:

- Australian Potash Limited (ASX:APC) and Salt Lake Potash Limited (ASX:SO4) (LON:SO4) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and Co-operation Agreement to study the potentially very substantial benefits of sharing infrastructure and other costs at Lake Wells

- The Companies will conduct a joint study into the merits of developing aspects of their respective Lake Wells projects together (the 'Study')

- The Study will initially focus on a shared costs model around infrastructure developments

- The Study will also address at a high-level the potential for cost sharing on common evaporation and salt processing developments

- Both Companies' projects at Lake Wells will proceed independently in parallel with the Study with no impact on either Company's timelines

The Companies' substantial project holdings at Lake Wells are contiguous (see Figure 1 in link below) with many common infrastructure elements, including access roads, proximity to the Leonora rail terminals, and potential power and fresh water solutions. Both Companies anticipate substantial potential Capex and Opex benefits from some level of infrastructure sharing, with further potential benefits arising from shared or common evaporation and salt processing facilities.

A paleochannel extending in excess of 140 kilometres traverses the Companies combined tenement holding over Lake Wells. Recently both APC and SO4 have been granted initial mining leases over their respective projects at Lake Wells. The mining leases and tenement areas for the Study are depicted in Figure 2 (see link below).

APC's scoping study released in March 2017 indicated a staged development producing 150,000 tpa rising to 300,000 tpa(see Note below) of premium grade Sulphate of Potash (SOP) from its stand-alone development. APC has a 2012 JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (calculated from drainable porosity) of 14.7 Mt(see Note below) of SOP (derived from a total of 72 Mt contained in total porosity).

SO4's scoping study released in August 2016 indicated a staged development producing 200,000 tpa rising to 400,000 tpa on a fully ramped basis. SO4 has reported a total JORC Mineral Resource at Lake Wells of 80-85 Mt of SOP (Stored Resource).

Logistics and Infrastructure

Each Company's project is based on heavy haulage road transport from Lake Wells to the rail head at either Malcolm (280kms) or Leonora (300kms), utilising the same haulage route. There is compelling logic in pursuing the economies of scale inherent in a (larger) shared solution as well as sharing the capital costs for road upgrades, haulage equipment and other transport and handling facilities. There is similar synergy potential in shared power, air transport, accommodation and process water costs.

Both projects have very similar brine chemistry given they are essentially hosted on the same paleochannel. Naturally they will also experience the same climatic conditions, meaning the process flowsheets for each project should be very similar. This offers the opportunity for potential additional savings by a co-operative arrangement extending to evaporation and salt processing facilities.

The Companies have agreed to constitute a joint study team to carry out an initial assessment of the merits of infrastructure cooperation. The team will also conduct a high-level review of potential benefits of upstream operational synergies. A substantial part of the Study work will be outsourced to independent engineers and both Companies intend to continue with their independent project developments in parallel with the Study.

Note: Refer to ASX announcement 23 March 2017 'Scoping Study Confirms Exceptional Economics of APC's 100% Owned Lake Wells Potash Project In WA'. That announcement contains the relevant statements, data and consents referred to in this announcement. Apart from that which is disclosed in this document, Australian Potash Limited, its directors, officers and agents: 1. Are not aware of any new information that materially affects the information contained in the 23 March 2017 announcement, and 2. State that the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the 23 March 2017 announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
