Blackham Resources Ltd.: Acquires Stockpile
Intermin owned the Wiluna calcine tailings stockpile. The stockpile comprises a JORC 2004 Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 370,000t @ 5.0 g/t Au for 59,500oz Au (per IRC ASX announcement 20 June 2011). It is located on Mining Lease M53/200 and is adjacent to the Wiluna Gold Plant.
The purchase also allows Blackham greater flexibility over the placement of tailings within the direct vicinity of the Plant. The Calcine tailings are the residual product from cyanidation of roasted sulphide concentrates produced prior to WWII from Wiluna gold ores.
Blackham has agreed to pay a total of $1.5m comprising an initial payment of $800,000 and the balance due by 31 December 2016. Once the consideration has been paid, Blackham will have 100% of the calcine tailings.
