Argonaut announce new exploration program
Date: 29th July 2010
Project: Alford
Organisation: Argonaut Resources
ASX: ARE
Highlight: $1.3 million drilling program to begin
Contact for project work: 02 9268 5188
Argonaut resources has announced they are undertaking a $1.3 million exploration program at its Alford project on the Yorke Peninsula. The program will involve diamond core drilling of a series of high magnetic intensity anomalies. The primary focus of the exploration is to identify copper-gold deposits.
There is some anticipation around the exploration program as a large copper-gold deposit was recently announced at the Hillside Project some 80km away.

Copper discovered at Hillside
Date: 29th July 2010
Project: Hillside
Organisation: Rex Minerals
ASX: RXM
Highlight: Maiden copper-gold deposit
Contact for project work: 03 5337 4000
Ballarat based Rex Minerals has confirmed the discovery of a shallow copper-gold mineralisation near Ardrossan on the Yorke Peninsula. The deposit has multiple advantages such as the close proximity of existing infrastructure including major roads, power supply and port facilities, as well as the mineralisation beginning close to the surface.
The mineral resource estimate is 700,000t of copper and 650,000 oz of gold. The detection of metallic anomalies nearby indicates further exploration of the area will likely increase the size of the mineral resource.
Rex Minerals are now undertaking conceptual mining studies to show the potential of the project to fit within a large scale open pit design. This involves mineral resource estimation and nearby exploration potential for the purpose of mine life planning. More detailed metallurgical and mining studies are planned for the second half of 2010.

Underground expansion at Prominent Hill
Date: 27th July 2010
Project: Prominent Hill
Organisation: OZ Minerals
ASX: OZL
Highlight: $135 million to be spent on new underground mine
Contact for project work: Prominent Hill Office (08) 8229 6600
The board of OZ Minerals have approved the construction of a new underground operation at their Prominent Hill mine in northern South Australia. All government approvals have been granted.
Preproduction expenditure on construction and other costs is expected to be $135 million. Construction will begin immediately with an instant need for a drilling contractor for the construction of ventilation shafts. First production is expected to be in the last quarter of 2011, with full production achieved in the second half of 2012.
The new mine will exploit the copper deposit to the west of the main open cut mine and will contribute an average of 25,000t of copper and 12,000oz of gold each year. The ore will be processed using the existing facilities established to process the ore from the main pit. The chalcocite-bornite deposit will be mined using sub-level open stoping techniques. The mine life of the underground western copper deposit is expected to be 5 years.
Exploration for similar deposits in the surrounding districts continues.

Phoenix Copper purchases Mountain of Light
Date: 4 June 2010
Project: Mountain of Light
Organisation: Phoenix Copper
ASX: PNX
Highlight: Acquires Copper producing asset.
Best contact person for project work: Paul J Dowd - 08 8364 3188
Phoenix Copper has acquired the Mountain of Light copper mine from Leigh Creek Copper Mining Pty Ltd. This purchase transforms the company from a mineral exploration firm to a cash flow positive mining company with an operational asset and a pipeline of future projects.
The mine is fully operational; however Phoenix Copper may be looking to seek out new suppliers of services and equipment in their efforts to make the operation more efficient and profitable. This provides an opportunity for alternative suppliers.

Cairn Hill begins production
Date: 4 June 2010
Project: Cairn Hill
Organisation: IMX Resources
ASX: IXR
Highlight: Ore production has begun
Best contact person for project work: Duncan McBain – Managing Director, 08 9388 7877
The first ore production has been achieved at IMX Resources’ Cairn Hill mine. The magnetite-copper-gold deposit will ramp up production and begin its first shipment in the third quarter of this calendar year. Once full production is achieved, the mine will be delivering 6 trainloads of ore per week to Port Adelaide for export.
Most of the mining services contracts have been assigned including ore processing, haulage, rail freight and port handling. However opportunities may exist in mine site services and equipment supply.

Kanmantoo resource expansion
Date: 4 June 2010
Project: Kanmantoo
Organisation: Hillgrove Resources
ASX: HGO
Highlight: 34% resource expansion
Best contact person for project work: Andrew Reeves - Engineering Manager, 08 8538 5100
Hillgrove Resources have announced that their Kanmantoo copper-gold project east of Adelaide is 34% larger than initially thought. This will result in a longer project life and greater economies of scale for Hillgrove Resources.
In addition recent drilling exploration in the Kanmantoo tenement has intersected new areas of copper-gold mineralisation. This has significantly increased the probability of expansion of the project to encompass the new deposits, and extend the mine life. The drilling program is ongoing to cofirm the extane tof the mineralisation.
