Browns Mine Leases MLNs 139-147 and 150-152 Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2013

Abstract

During 2012-13 these tenements were subjected to a regional airborne FALCON gravity survey. This survey included not only gravity but also acquired magnetics and LIDAR high resolution elevation data. The line spacing was approximately 200m and is currently being processed and divided into individual tenements. The data for these surveys has been submitted to the department. Approximately 9 line km of data acquisition fell on this tenement. During this reporting period a large scale scoping study was also undertaken to assess the potential of an underground sulphide mining operation. The study consisted of resource modelling, stope design and underground engineering, flotation studies and existing plant redesign.
