![Archer Exploration Limited: Mount Hutton Central JORC 2012 Resource](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Highlights:
- Mount Hutton Central Mineral Resource upgraded to JORC 2012 standard in preparation for development of the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project.
- No material change in Mineral Resource estimates - reflects the quality and uniformity of the magnesite deposit and the work done by Archer and SAMAG.
- Leigh Creek Magnesite Project rapidly moving toward production.
The Mount Hutton Central Mineral Resource previously reported under the JORC 2004 code has undergone a comprehensive review by Archer for reporting under the JORC 2012 requirements. Archer has elected to upgrade its reporting for Mount Hutton Central to the new standard in preparation for the next phase of the continuing development of the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project. The JORC 2012 Mineral Resource at Mount Hutton Central is reported in Table 1 (see link below).
The underlying assumptions and method used to upgrade the Mount Hutton Central Mineral Resource to 2012 JORC standard are contained in Table 1 and Attachment A annexed to this announcement (refer to link below).
A key result of the review is that there has been no material change to the Mineral Resource Estimate reported by SAMAG Limited on (3/09/1999 (ASX, PAL).
Project Overview
The Leigh Creek Magnesite Project comprises the Mount Hutton South, Mount Hutton Central, Mt Playfair, Pug Hill, Termination and Witchelina deposits. The Mineral Resources for each deposit are shown below. It is expected that the Mount Hutton Central deposit will first be the first area developed, as such the remaining deposits have not yet been upgraded to 2012 JORC code requirements on the basis that the supporting information available regarding these deposits has not materially changed since they were last reported.
The Mt Hutton Central Project represents only part of the total Leigh Creek Magnesite Project which has a Mineral Resource of 434Mt @ 41.4% MgO (refer to table 2 in link below).
Therefore, potential exists to greatly increase the life and scale of the Leigh Creek Magnesite Project.
