Sandfire Resources Limited Announces Mineral Resource Estimate for Old Highway Gold Deposit

2021-12-14 21:17:00

Sandfire Resources Limited announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Old Highway Deposit, located 20km west-south-west of the Company's 100%-owned DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine in Western Australia. Study work is currently underway to assess the potential development options for the Old Highway gold deposit. As part of the study Sandfire has completed preliminary design and costing for the addition of a gold recovery circuit to the existing DeGrussa copper concentrator. Study work is continuing and is expected to be completed in the March Quarter of 2022. Drilling is continuing at Old Highway with a ~9,100m (24-hole) diamond drill program commenced, focused on extending the high-grade mineralisation in the central section of the Old Highway deposit - an area known as `Central Deeps' - which remains open along strike and down dip. The deepest holes from this program will test ~200m below the currently defined extent of the mineralisation. Eight holes (~3,200m) of this program have been completed to date, the majority of which have intersected quartz veins in the expected position down-dip of the known mineralisation. Assay results for these holes are awaited. Sandfire has completed a number of study elements to support the completion of the MRE and assess potential development options for the Old Highway deposit, including: Preliminary open pit and underground design work in progress, including geotechnical and hydrology studies. Metallurgical testwork including variability work on the different ore lithologies has been completed. The ore is free milling with overall very high gold recoveries exceeding 90% at moderate grind size of 106 microns and low reagent consumptions. Preliminary design and costing for the addition of a gold recovery plant to the existing eGrussa copper concentrator. This would involve the addition of gravity, CIL and gold recovery circuits. The existing concentrator crushing and grinding circuits could be re-used with only minor modification required. All baseline environmental work at Old Highway has been completed and documentation for the various approvals is in progress. Ore haulage options for the transport of ore from Old Highway to DeGrussa have been investigated and preliminary costs for the options established. Various CIL tailings storage options including use of the existing DeGrussa TSF and in-pit deposition into the DeGrussa pit have been investigated. Mining Leases M52/1080 and M52/1081 have been granted for the Old Highway project area. The Old Highway Prospect is situated approximately 20km west-southwest of Sandfire's DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine. It lies 900km north-east of Perth and 150km north of Meekatharra in the Peak Hill Mineral Field. Access is via the Great Northern Highway and a series of exploration tracks that link the prospect area to the `Old Highway'. The Old Highway deposit occurs in the Bryah Group, an early-Proterozoic supercrustal sequence. The Byrah Group unconformably overlies the Yerrida Group, an early-Proterozoic supracrustal sequence that unconformabably overlies the Archean basement. The Archean basement comprises the Yilgarn Craton, the Marymia Inlier and the Yarlaweelor Gneiss complex. The Padbury Group, an early to mid-Proterozoic sequence unconformably overlies the Bryah Group. Ore vein mineralogy consists primarily of quartz, carbonate (likely to be ankerite or a ferroan dolomite), albite and pyrite. Trace (<1%) chalcopyrite, galena, haematite, native gold, bornite, chalcocite and goethite are also observed. Pyrite occurs as isolated grains within the veins but more typically in the selvages of the veins, where the wall rock (gangue minerals /rocks) dominates the rock mass (pyrite ranges from <1% to 10% of the selvage material). Native gold is noted to occur as both free grains on the margins of the pyrite grains (up to ~2mm observed in hand specimen) or as small inclusions within the pyrite (~2 µm). Likewise, chalcopyrite occurs as ragged grains on the edges of pyrite or as inclusions within the pyrite. Goethite, malachite, copper hydroxide/oxy-hydroxide and/or chalcocite occur in weathered samples. Copper-bearing minerals have only been encountered in limited areas of the deposit and are interpreted to be a function of the weathering of the trace primary chalcopyrite.

Auris Minerals Limited Updates on Exploration Completed by Sandfire Resources Limited

2021-10-14 22:50:00

Auris Minerals Limited updated on exploration completed by Sandfire Resources Limited during the September quarter across the Joint Venture Projects located in the Bryah Basin, Western Australia. Core activities completed during the quarter included the completion of an Air Core drilling programme within the Doolgunna Project and progress on heritage clearances to enable the commencement of infill Air Core drilling at the Morck Well Project. In February 2018, Auris entered a Farm-in Agreement with SFR in relation to the Morck Well and Doolgunna Projects which covers 430km². The Morck Well and Doolgunna Projects are strategically located 22km to the south-west and 4km to the southeast respectively, of Sandfire's DeGrussa Copper Mine in Western Australia. The Morck Well project is also located 8km along strike from Sandfire's Old Highway gold deposit with comparable high-grade gold mineralisation being intersected associated within similar geology within completed regional Air Core drilling. Planned regional Air Core drilling was completed within the Doolgunna Project during the September quarter, with a total of 37 holes for 2,165 metres undertaken. Activities within the Morck Well Project during the quarter was restricted to heritage surveying for potential upcoming Air Core drilling. The completed drilling was designed to gain a better understanding of the lithologies composing the prospect area and as infill drilling to an RC drill program carried out by Auris in 2011. Results were received for a total of 104 Air Core drill holes (MWAC4138 - MWAC4241) completed within the Doolgunna Project. All results from the completed drill program have now been received. A significant composite gold intersection of 5m @ 3.08g/t Au from 20m was returned from MWAC4225. This intersection is located approximately 100m along strike from the Salmon Prospect. During the quarter, all remaining results were also received from the regional Air Core drilling completed within the Morck Well Project, comprising 146 holes (MWAC3248 - MWAC3259. MWAC3590 - MWAC3600, MWAC3626, MWAC4016 - MWAC4137). A single significant result of 1m @ 0.11% Cu from 155m within MWAC4021 was returned. All significant intersections returned from Air Core drilling within the Morck Well JV are reported. Previous RC drilling completed by Auris during 2011 returned several narrow and high-grade gold intercepts. The mineralisation is likely to be related to the Cow Hole Bore Fault System, which hosts gold mineralisation at the nearby Mafic Anticline and Cow Hole Bore prospects. The recently completed Air Core drill program intercepted siltstones and wackes from the Cow Hole Bore Member over the central portion of the tenement, and dolerites, breccias and sediment from the Narracoota Formation through the northern and southern sections of the drill lines. Geological interpretation of the area is ongoing. An RC hole has been designed to test a model generated from an anomalous response that was identified on Line 54500 of the MLEM survey at Cow Hole Bore on the Doolgunna project. In September 2019, Auris entered into a farm-in agreement with Sandfire to advance exploration at the Company's Cashman Project located in the Bryah Basin of Western Australia. Under the agreement Sandfire are sole funding exploration until a Feasibility Study is completed on a discovery of >50,000t Copper or metal equivalent to earn a 70% interest. Results were received for the program of fifty Air Core drill holes for 1,663m were completed which were designed to infill existing 100m-spaced drill collars, specifically targeting prospective sediment horizons of the Karalundi Formation to provide additional geochemical data in the area proximal to the Orient gossan. A single significant result of 5m @ 0.60g/t Au from 25m was returned within CHAC1885. This intersection is located 400m along strike to the east from previous intersected mineralisation of 1m @ 9.72g/t Au from 40m (CHAC0780). Results were received from the two diamond tails completed at the Orient prospect last quarter. A maximum significant copper result of 1.18m @ 0.83% Cu from 417.3m including 0.68m @ 1.28% Cu from 417.8m (OTRC007) has been returned. All significant intersections returned from Diamond drilling within the Cashman JV are reported. DHEM surveying of CHRC0007 was completed to a depth of 370m, however, a blockage at this depth meant the bottom half of the hole could not be surveyed. A new DHEM survey will be run once the hole is cleared in the next reporting period. Recent structural interpretation has led to areas of interest which may be tested by additional RC drilling in the future.

Sandfire Resources Ltd Confirms the Potential to Rapidly Expand its Motheo Copper Mine in Botswana from 3.2Mtpa to 5.2Mtpa Following the Completion of Maiden Ore Reserve Estimate for the Satellite A4 Deposit and Pre-Feasibility Study for the Expansion Case

2021-09-21 22:23:00

Sandfire Resources Ltd. announced that it has confirmed the potential to rapidly expand its Motheo Copper Mine in Botswana from 3.2Mtpa to 5.2Mtpa following the completion of a maiden Ore Reserve estimate for the satellite A4 Deposit and Pre-Feasibility Study for the Expansion Case. The maiden JORC 2012 Probable Ore Reserve estimate totals 9.7Mt at 1.2% copper and 18g/t silver for 114kt of contained copper metal and 5.7Moz of contained silver. This reflects an outstanding Resource-to-Reserve conversion rate of 85% of contained copper based on the updated Mineral Resource Estimate of 9.8Mt at 1.4% Cu and 21g/t Ag for 134,000t of contained copper and 6.6Moz of contained silver for the A4 deposit announced on 21 July 2021. Given its location just 8km from the planned processing plant and infrastructure at Motheo, the maiden A4 Ore Reserve will underpin Sandfire's plans to increase production from the Base Case 3.2Mtpa production rate to 5.2Mtpa. Based on the strong economics of the PFS, Sandfire will now move directly to a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the integration of the A4 Deposit as a source of satellite ore feed for the Motheo Mining Hub. Supporting the estimation and reporting of the A4 Ore Reserve, Sandfire has completed an internal PFS for the expansion of the Motheo Processing Plant. The PFS has confirmed the strong business case for development of the A4 Deposit as part of an expanded 5.2Mtpa Motheo Production Hub strategy. In completing the Expansion Case PFS Sandfire has been able to leverage the work completed for the T3 Definitive Feasibility Study. The A4 PFS outlines the first additional satellite deposit to the Motheo Copper Mine, expanding plant production from 3.2Mtpa to 5.2Mtpa over its five-year mine life. Mine facilities include surface mining operations at the A4 Deposit, expansion of the processing plant and supporting infrastructure. The Motheo mining accommodation facility is already sized for the A4 Deposit driven expansion. New infrastructure for A4 will include a light vehicle access road from the accommodation facility, dual lane HV road to be constructed from A4 to the Motheo Plant, tyre/breakdown workshops, fuel, crib and office facilities, electrical and water supplies. The ore processing contribution of the A4 Open Pit is five years with estimated copper production contained in concentrate over the life of the A4 Open Pit of 105,000t. The estimated operating cost for the combined T3 and A4 operation varies throughout the life of mine as changes occur in the cost to mine and process the deposits. The average operating cash cost (C1) over the life-of-mine, on a 100% payable copper basis, is estimated to be approximately USD 38/tonne of ore processed or USD 1.32/lb of copper. The C1 consists of USD 0.82/lb mining costs, USD 0.38/lb processing cost inclusive of power, USD 0.32/lb site administration and offsite logistics costs, and USD 0.19/lb treatment and refining charges. A silver by-product credit of USD 0.39/lb copper is included in the C1 cost. The estimated All in Sustaining Cost (AISC), which includes C1 plus sustaining capital, is USD 1.56/lb. The project's economics are most sensitive to variation in copper price, with other sensitive parameters being copper grade and copper recovery. Development capital has the least impact on the sensitivity of NPV.

Sandfire Resources Limited Reports High Grade Drilling Results At A4 Dome

2021-09-06 22:21:00

Sandfire Resources Limited announced that step-out drilling at the A4 Dome, located 8km west of the Company's Motheo Copper Mine in Botswana, has returned an outstanding high-grade vein-hosted copper-silver intersection some 1.2km to the south- west of the current A4 Deposit Mineral Resource envelope. The new intercept, in diamond hole MO-A4-207D, is located on an interpreted structure with minimal previous drilling which potentially opens up an exciting new area for exploration in close proximity to the recently updated A4 Mineral Resource. MO-A4-207D is located approximately 1.2km south-west of the western end of the A4 Mineral Resource. A revised Mineral Resource for the A4 deposit was announced on 21 July 2021 comprising 9.8Mt at 1.4% Cu and 21g/t Ag for 134,000t of contained copper and 6.6Moz of contained silver (using a 0.5% Cu cut-off). Work is well progressed on a Pre-Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserve estimate, due for completion in the September quarter 2021, and a Feasibility Study for an open pit mine development is expected in the March quarter 2022. The mineralisation in MO-A4-207D occurs as coarse to semi-massive, bornite and chalcopyrite within multiple brecciated quartz-carbonate veins, with additional copper sulphides disseminated along bedding planes. The intersection is hosted by a sequence of sandstone and siltstone units within the Lower D'Kar Formation, approximately 250m above the Ngwako Pan Formation (NPF) contact. Importantly, MO-A4-207D is the first hole to effectively test the axis of the A4 periclinal anticline (A4Dome) interpreted from AEM data to the southwest of the current Mineral Resource. Similar vein-hosted copper-silver mineralisation was reported by MOD Resources in 2018 up to 1.9km northeast of MO-A4-207D and approximately 100m south of the A4 Mineral Resource.

Sandfire Resources Ltd Reports Updated JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the A4 Copper-Silver Deposit, Located 8Km West of the Location of Company's Motheo Copper Mine in Botswana

2021-07-20 22:22:00

Sandfire Resources Ltd. reported an updated JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the A4 Copper-Silver Deposit, located 8km west of the location of Company's Motheo Copper Mine in Botswana, delivering a 34% increase in contained copper. The updated A4 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) - which now totals 9.8Mt at 1.4% Cu and 21g/t Ag for 134,000t of contained copper and 6.6Moz of contained silver (using a 0.5% Cu cut-off and constrained by a US$4.50/lb copper price optimised pit shell) - represents a key potential source of satellite ore feed for the Motheo Copper Mine, where development is underway targeting first production from the T3 Open Pit in early 2023. Importantly, recent drilling has enabled Sandfire to upgrade a significant portion of the A4 Deposit to the higher confidence Indicated Resource status. Indicated Resources now stand at 8.9Mt at 1.4% Cu and 22g/t Ag for 124,000t of contained copper and 6.2Moz of contained silver, representing 93% of the total contained copper within the A4 Deposit. The higher-confidence Indicated MRE at A4 is available for conversion to Ore Reserves, which will enable Sandfire to complete feasibility studies to support the proposed 5.2Mtpa Expansion Case for the Motheo Copper Mine. A maiden Ore Reserve is on track to be reported in the December 2021 Quarter as the foundation for a Feasibility Study targeted for completion in the March 2022 Quarter. A4 is the first deposit to be delineated outside of the substantial T3 Open Pit Deposit within the highly prospective 1,000km2 Motheo Expansion Project area. The Motheo Expansion Project is the first area of the Kalahari Copper Belt to receive systematic and focused exploration within Sandfire's extensive licence holdings in the Kalahari Copper Belt, which extend from Botswana into Namibia. A4 Deposit Geology: The A4 Deposit is located within the Ghanzi-Chobe belt in western Botswana. The stratigraphy in this belt comprises the basal Kgwebe volcanics which are unconformably overlain by Ghanzi Group sediments. The Ghanzi Group is a meta-sedimentary group comprising (in successively higher stratigraphic order) the Kuke, Ngwako Pan, D'Kar and Mamuno Formations. There is no outcrop of the Ghanzi Group within the A4 project area and the host meta-sediments are locally covered with a shallow layer of surficial calcrete, sand and soil. A4 occupies a similar structural and stratigraphic position to that of the T3 Deposit in that it occurs within a NE-SW trending periclinal anticline (A4 Dome) with a core of Ngwako Pan Formation sandstone, overlain by a succession of D'Kar Formation shale, sandstone, siltstone and carbonates. All mineralisation modelled and incorporated in the Mineral Resource estimate occurs within the D'Kar Formation. Second order (parasitic) upright to overturned folds are developed within the axial region of the periclinal anticline. The second order folds are cross-cut and displaced by moderately north-west dipping brittle-ductile, thrust-sense shear zones. These shear zones are characterised by zones of heterogeneous foliation of variable width and intensity. High strain zones have been recognised along which different sedimentary units have been juxtaposed by brittle displacement. Flat-lying to shallow-dipping zones of extensional fracture and veining are developed in the footwall of the main shear zone. These extensional zones are interpreted to have formed as shear related extensional structures during thrust movement. The extensional structures are preferentially developed within a sandstone dominated package but also penetrate into the overlying carbonate and siltstone dominated units. Copper-Silver mineralisation at A4 is developed along both the shear zones and the extensional zones. Within the shear zones copper sulphides (bornite, chalcocite and chalcopyrite) are associated with quartz-carbonate veins developed sub-parallel to the shear foliation. Within the extensional zones, copper sulphides are associated with either quartz-carbonate veins or as sulphide fill to in-situ fragmentation zones (breccias) within the host sediments. Mineralisation extends over a strike length of approximately 900m and 270m down-dip and remains open at depth and along strike. Wireframes were developed using the high strain zones and extensional structures to guide interpretation of hosted mineralisation. A nominal 0.3% Cu cut-off grade was used to determine the external boundary of the mineralised zones. Immediately above the mineralised zone, soil/sand and calcrete extends to a depth ranging from 3 - 8m below surface. Saprolite (>25% oxidation) extends from 25 - 60m below surface and saprock (1 - 25% oxidation) from 55 - 85m below surface. Where oxidised, primary copper sulphides are altered to malachite, chrysocolla or covellite.
