  1. BACKGROUND OF THE TENNANT CREEK GOLD FIELD

 

Tennant Creek is a town located in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is the seventh largest town in the Northern Territory, approximately 1,000 kilometres south of the capital Darwin, and 500 kilometres north of Alice Springs.

The Tennant Creek Gold Field (TCGF) was discovered in the early 1930s and was mined until the early 2000s when the gold price reached lows of ~A$500/oz, resulting in the termination of mining activities in this region. The TCGF was one of the highest-grade gold-producing fields in Australia, with production over the period yielding 156t of gold (5.5Moz), 348,000t of copper, 59.2t (1.9Moz) of silver, and 21,600t of Bismuth. Following 30 years of mining at the Nobles underground mine, the crown pillar collapsed in 1967 due to erosional degradation of the iron oxide lithologies. The broken material was excavated from the failure zone and stockpiled on the Crown Pillar Stockpile (`CPS'), with some of this material being treated while the new plant was being constructed during 1967 and 1968. From this point, Nobles was mined as an open pit mine, with the remainder of the CPS never being treated. It was Australia's largest open pit gold mine until 1985.

The mineral deposits in the TCGF are well studied and understood through historical mining as well as current exploration. These deposits form part of the hematite and magnetite end members of an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralisation style. The ore bodies tend to express as cone-like, blanket-like breccia sheets within granitic margins, or as long ribbon-like breccia or massive iron oxide deposits within faults or shear zones. Continuity of these deposits is proven with strike lengths more than 50m, widths of 2m-24m or more and down-dip extents of hundreds of meters. Typically, these deposits are enriched in copper, gold, cobalt, silver, uranium and bismuth.

 

Apart from brownfields exploration, the TCGF is also very prospective for greenfield discoveries such as the Mauretania and Marathon deposits on the Emmerson Resources exploration joint venture (ERM-JV) ground (a joint venture agreement between TCMG and Emmerson Resources is in place) and the Bluebird deposit of Tennant Minerals (Pty) Ltd (ASX: TMS), both listed on the Australian stock exchange.

In 2022, realising the consolidation opportunity present in the area, TCMG acquired 100% of the tenements around the historic highest grade and largest producers of the region, namely, Nobles, Warrego, and Juno, with the intent to expedite exploration and increase the conversion of Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. The processing plant currently being constructed will be the only functioning gold processing plant in the region at present, and will be the largest facility ever operated in the TCGF.

The remaining CPS on surface will form the basis of the production for the first year.

 

  1. NOBLES GOLD PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY OVERVIEW AND CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

Feasibility Study summary

 

TCMG's Feasibility Study (Nobles Gold Project Feasibility Study 2024) is based on the processing of material through a carbon in leach (CIL) gold plant which was purchased from the Great Australian Mine (`GAM') in Cloncurry. This plant has been dismantled and is being reconstructed at Nobles, located in Tennant Creek, over a 13-month period by EPC contractors, COMO Engineers. Commissioning of the reconstructed plant is expected by June 2025. The processing of surface material in the form of the CPS, the Nobles North tailings and Nobles North Waste Rock Dump will form the initial base ore feed following the commissioning of this plant. Pan African expects first gold in July 2025. The plant is rated for a throughput of 840,000 tonnes per annum and a gold recovery of 94%.

The base ore sources are in proximity to the plant's location and are deemed low risk production ounces. The Nobles Complex pits, Eldorado (pit and underground), Juno, Chariot and Golden Forty underground mines will complete the modelled initial 5-year LOM based on Mineral Reserves alone. An additional three years of production is targeted through near-term walk-up targets including Mauretania and White Devil.

The estimated capital cost for commissioning is US$35.7 million and is fully funded through two debt facilities, consisting of US$6.7 million from the Northern Territory of Australia and US$31.5 million from Keyview Investment Management.

Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation

 

Mineral Resources

 

The kriged Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE) were depleted for historical mining using the existing open pit and underground development and stope void surveyed wireframes. The MRE has been classified as Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources in accordance with the guidelines of The Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code, 2012) and signed off by a Competent Person, Steve Rose. Steve is an independent consultant retained by TCMG, and he manages the exploration and geological departments for the company. Furthermore, Snowden Optiro (Snowden) has reviewed the MRE's of the TCMG deposits, with no fatal flaw being identified. The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves remain unchanged if reported according to the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the SAMREC Code, 2016).

Mineral Resources have been classified based on confidence in geological and grade continuity using the drilling density, geological model confidence, modelled grade continuity and conditional bias measures (kriging efficiency) and discounted due to the lack in operational reconciliation data. The classification is robust with a potential for further optimisation and extension of geological ore zones.

 

Mineral Reserves

 

The Mineral Reserves, as contained in the TCMG Feasibility Study (2024), comprises historically created surface stockpiles, waste rock dumps and tailings storage facilities, open pit and underground deposits. Daniel Donald is the Competent Person for underground operations and Craig Mann for open pit and surface deposits. Both are employed by Entech Mining Pty (Ltd) (Entech). Entech has been engaged by TCMG to prepare the documentation on which the Ore Reserve Report is based, for the period ended 27/09/2024. Daniel and Craig have sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activities being undertaken.

 

An integrated schedule was compiled by Entech which specifies that the surface stockpile material is supplemented from open pit operations, commencing soon after the commissioning of the plant and will form the feed to the processing plant over the initial 15-month period. Additionally, underground mines are being developed to deliver ore to the plant from month 16 onwards. Mining costs for the open pit and underground operations, as used in the Feasibility Study, was compiled by Entech and obtained through a request for quotes to major Australian mining contractors.

Potential Further Growth

 

The Warrego orebody represents future upside with potential extraction and sale of a copper and gold concentrate, as it contains high-grade copper associated with the gold mineralisation. Tailings from the copper flotation plant can be processed for gold recovery in the Nobles CIL plant. TCMG is in the process of finalising a Prefeasibility Study on the copper-gold circuit for processing of the Warrego ore.

 

The geological prospectivity across the TCMG tenements and the ERM-JV is deemed to be high. The deposits are contained within the hematite and magnetite end members of the IOCG deposits and can be successfully identified and explored with up-to-date geomagnetic survey technology.

  1. PROJECT EXECUTION PLAN

 

Dismantling of the GAM CIL plant in Cloncurry, as well as early works at the Nobles plant site in Tennant Creek, commenced during March 2024. As of September 2024, the dismantling work packages in Cloncurry have been completed and all equipment transported to the Nobles plant site. At the end of September 2024, the plant construction progress was on schedule at more than 50% complete.

 

Commissioning of the plant and the dry-stack tailings storage facility is expected during June 2025, with first gold expected in July 2025. The ore feed to the plant during the initial 5-year LOM is composed of the following sources which will be sourced for the following periods after the plant commissioning date:

The initial LOM detailed above excludes further open pit potential currently being permitted or optimised.

 

Labour onboarding to operate the processing plant is currently in progress. Mobilisation of the relevant mining contractors are planned in advance of start of mining for the different deposits.

 

Exploration drilling will be conducted throughout the LOM to extend the life of the different operations and will focus on brownfields and greenfields exploration.

 

Permitting and approval, including a cultural heritage management plan, indigenous land access permits and sacred site clearance certification for the initial four years of production has been obtained. Permitting of additional Mineral Resources, not yet converted to Mineral Reserves, will be conducted during the LOM and in such a manner as to not impact the overall production output. Mine rehabilitation on closure is planned sequentially to mining depletion. The rehabilitation and closure provision of US$ 1.9 million has been approved by the Northern Territory government.

 

The Prefeasibility Study on the Warrego copper and gold deposit is scheduled to be completed during Q2 FY2025 and will inform further studies and a possible execution strategy.
