Blackham Resources Ltd.: Gold Production Kicks Off as Expansion Study Draws Near

Sydney - Blackham Resources (ASX:BLK) has announced their first quarter gold production results at their Matilda Gold Project.

Highlights include:

- Gold production - 9,240oz (5,010 - December month);

- Gold production commenced in mid-October 2016;

- Gold recoveries - 92% (Nov & Dec); and

- FY17 production target - 64koz to 71koz.

Analyst Comment: As production only commenced during the December quarter (ramp-up period) we saw little value in examining the headline gold production numbers too closely. We were however encouraged that the only major issue encountered during the ramp-up period, (mechanical issue with the secondary and tertiary cone crushers) has been resolved.

Catalysts: The March quarter is shaping up to be defining for Blackham for two reasons.

First, we expect the ramp-up period to be concluded during the quarter which should result in a significant increase in production (TSI estimate - 26koz). This will be driven by increased throughput as well as an increase to the head grade (TSI assumption - 2g/t to 2.5g/t).

Secondly, Blackham will release the results of their Expansion Study (TSI production estimate 180koz to 220koz Au pa). The Expansion Study is the key driver for our long term valuation and a positive outcome could see the Matilda Gold Project become one of the few gold mining operations in Australia that produces +200koz Au pa and not owned by a major producer.
