•
PFS demonstrated potential for a sustainable, low cost
operation with 20+ year initial resource life (a) in the
first quartile of the industry's cost curve
Estimated US$1.7B capital to build a conventional 4.3Mtpa plant
and dual shaft access mine with associated infrastructure
Final investment decision expected in mid CY23
Scoping study(a) has confirmed the potential to produce
battery-grade manganese into rapidly-growing markets
Manganese expected to benefit from the decision by the
United States Government to invoke the Defense Production
Act, supporting the production of critical minerals
We are reviewing options to potentially accelerate our
development studies for Clark
Multi-year geophysics programs have defined a highly
prospective corridor within the broader land package
High-grade copper-lead-zinc-silver mineralisation intersected
at the Peake prospect (a), south of the Taylor Deposit
Planning to drill the Flux prospect(a) in early CY23, located
down-dip of an historic mining area
