Mining

Continuing development at Havieron surpasses 2400 m and drilling continues to intercept significant zones of high-grade gold and copper mineralisation.

Preliminary metallurgical testing completed in 2022 demonstrated up to 99% recovery of the magnesium using an HCl leach and 58% recovery of the nickel through floatation.

Cavalier Resources has reported high gold recoveries of up to 93.2% from initial bottle roll tests on oxide samples taken from the Crawford Gold Project in the Leonora region.

A team of experts from the three companies will work together to design electrification for the Cosmos Nickel Project and will consider mine hauling operations, power distribution, energy efficiency, and power management.

The community plan approval allows for groundwork including supplementary drilling to commence at the highly prospective Lobo project area.

The plant is located near the Port of Bunbury and close to one of the world’s largest hard rock lithium deposits, the Greenbushes mine, in Western Australia.

Exploration drilling is planned for Q323 to target reserve additions and resource conversion, tapping into the 885 000 oz of resources currently outside the reserve-based mine plan.

Only 2% of this highly prospective, giant mineral system has been drilled to date – demonstrating enormous potential for additional discoveries through future drilling currently being planned.

Thiess, Caterpillar, and Hastings Deering will provide 21 autonomous haul trucks, 3 autonomous drills, and a private LTE network for the complex to enable full operations to commence in late 2023.

Arca works globally with nickel mine developers and operators to capture and permanently store CO2 in mine tailings.

The continued flow of results ensures Winsome is on track for maiden Adina Mineral Resource Estimate later in 2023, despite the current hiatus on drilling.

Results Include 5.9% Ni, 2.0% Cu, 12.4 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 3.2 m.

Cobra has announced rare earth results from Reverse Circulation (RC) and Aircore (AC) drilling, which will support further Rare Earth Elements (REE) resource growth at the Wudinna Project in South Australia.

The mine is expected to produce an average of 120 000 to 140 000 oz of gold for the first three years of commercial production.

Torngat Metals and Metso have signed a contract for large-volume pilot scale processing of ore extracted from Torngat’s Strange Lake Rare Earth project in Québec.
