ASX / Media Release 19 April 2012 Operations & Corporate Update Bass Metals Ltd (ASX: BSM) is pleased to provide the following operational, financial and corporate update on its overall strategy to re-establish Bass Metals on a scaled down basis as a successful and prospective resource company. Hellyer Operations – NW Tasmania On the 7th April 2012 the Hellyer site achieved 600 days lost-time-injury free which is an excellent achievement by all employees and contractors. Mining operations at the Fossey underground mine are progressing in line with the work-out mine plan.
There is a further 25,000 tonnes of ore remaining to be recovered from the mine stopes and hauled to the Hellyer run-of-mine (ROM) stockpile for processing. Mining activities are planned to be completed in late April 2012, after which the Fossey underground mine will be placed on care and maintenance. As part of the stage 1 revised mine plan, the mining cost was fixed at $58.10 per tonne of ore delivered to the ROM which reflects the reduced level of mining activities and has reduced risk to Bass Metals’ cash flow forecasts.
Processing of Campaign 9 ore through the Hellyer Mill commenced on 26 March, 2012. Plant availability has been excellent with few stoppages, contributing to good operating performance in terms of throughput and metallurgical recoveries. Processing performance against the work-out plan is excellent with 52,695 tonnes processed as at 15 April at an estimated average head grade of 9.1% zinc and 4.7% lead (with silver, copper and gold credits) which is 52% of the Campaign 9 budget of 101,151 tonnes of ore grading 9.2% zinc and 4.4% lead.
Metallurgical recovery estimates and the zinc, lead and copper-silver concentrate production estimates are tracking in line with budget forecasts. The cost of milling was budgeted at $30 per tonne of ore processed, with current indications coming in at just below this budget estimate. The ROM stockpile contains approximately 23,456 tonnes of ore (as at 15 April), which together with the ore planned to be hauled from the underground mine indicates a further 48,456 tonnes remains to be processed.
On completion of Campaign 9 in late May the Hellyer Mill will be shut down and placed on care and maintenance. There is some scope to mine and process additional ore which could require operations to continue for an extra week or two. Regrettably, staff and contractors will be stood down as .... hoffnungslos, beste wird ein übernahmekandidat sein |
