Crimson Mountain Mining Restricted (“RMX” or the “Firm”) is happy to announce the receipt of a Discover of Proposed Grant of Exploration Licence (regarding ELA6810) from the NSW Division of Main Industries. The mission encompasses 391km2 of potential floor inside the Southern New England Orogen (SNEO) in northeastern New South Wales. The SNEO is recognised as Australia’s premier Antimony province (Determine 1). Antimony happens in hydrothermal quartz veins, breccias and stockworks, usually with related gold and/or tungsten mineralisation.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Exploration Licence to be granted for a interval of six years and overlaying a major bundle of 391 km2 of potential floor inside the Southern New England Orogen of NSW, Australia’s premier Antimony Province
- The tenement extends over an 85km strike extent of the Peel Fault System, a recognized mineralised structural hall, and contains a number of recognized Antimony and Gold mineral occurrences
- The most effective reported historic outcomes thus far embody 465ppm Sb and 0.224ppm Au
- Given restricted earlier exploration these historic sampling outcomes characterize a major greenfield discovery alternative for Antimony and Gold
- Antimony costs have surged to ~US$33,500 per metric ton* as of 21 November following China’s latest export ban on a variety of Antimony merchandise
Determine 1: Recognized NSW Gold and Antimony mineral occurrences relative to basement orogenic models. The map clearly demonstrates the prospectivity of the New England Orogen for Antimony and Gold. The situation of the Hillgrove Deposit, Peel Fault and ELA6810 are additionally proven.*Argus Media, Sb ingot min 99.65% fob China 21/11/2024 (https://www.argusmedia.com/metals-platform/metallic/minor-and-specialty-metals-antimony).
The Hillgrove mission (ASX: LRV) is roughly 20km east of Armidale, is Australia’s largest recognized Antimony deposit. The mine has recorded manufacturing of over 730,000 oz of gold and over 50,000 tonnes of Antimony and a remaining useful resource of 1.7Moz Au equal at a grade of seven.4g/t Au equal, together with 90,000 tonnes of Antimony, with vital exploration upside1.
Mission Geology
The mission lies roughly 100km west of Hillgrove and extends for 85km instantly west of the Peel Fault. The geology of the tenement is dominated by isoclinally folded Carboniferous metasediments of the Tamworth Belt (Determine 2), which is a forearc basinal bundle associated to west-dipping subduction of oceanic crust beneath the Lachlan Orogen. Ultramafic melanges of the Nice Serpentinite Belt, which outcrop alongside the Peel Fault, are thought-about to be remnants of this oceanic crust. The Peel Fault System has recognised world-class mineral potential, with over 400 recognized orogenic gold and base metallic mineral occurrences alongside its over 400km strike extent, however is underexplored with lower than 200 largely shallow drillholes over its size, the vast majority of that are centered on discrete prospects.
Determine 2: Floor geology and recognized antimony, gold and tungsten mineral occurrences of EL6810 and the encompassing space. The Peel Fault (PF) and Namoi Fault (NF) are indicated.
Tamworth Belt metasediments inside the mission are lower by a number of splays off the Peel Fault, together with the most important Namoi Fault (Determine 2). Gold, Antimony and Tungsten mineralisation are related to orogenic quartz-vein and stockwork techniques hosted inside the Peel Fault System. The tenement encompasses 9 historic gold workings (a mix of main orogenic vein-style and deep alluvial workings); three vein- hosted Antimony occurrences with historic workings; and one vein-hosted tungsten prevalence.
