Note:

  • The Mineral Resources Estimates are reported in accordance with the guidelines of the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). The estimates are reported at 30 June 2024.
  • Mineral Resource figures are reported using cut-off grades (Li2O%) or NSR calculation best suited to each deposit.
  • Tonnages are dry metric tonnes. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding.
OUR PROJECTS

Ore Reserves

The Group Ore Reserve Estimates take account of changes to the Mineral Resource base at individual deposits due to new drilling information, updated metal prices, changes to cut-off grades, mining depletion and changes to mine design. Ore Reserve Estimates are based on Mineral Resources classified as being either in the Measured or Indicated categories. The estimates are reported at 30 June 2024.

  • Tonnages are dry metric tonnes. Minor discrepancies may occur due to rounding.

Cut Off Grades

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are reported using a block value filed (Net Smelter Return (NSR) $/t) after consideration of the contained metal, payability, concentrate transport cost, and state government, traditional owner and third-party royalties. Cut-off grades are calculated as a dollar per ore tonne, based on the forecast operating costs in the financial model. Economic analysis, including Stope Optimiser (SO) is carried out for each planned stope and only economically positive stopes are included in the Ore Reserve.
