Hazelwood announced that the first drillhole of the step out drilling program at its Big Hill Tungsten Deposit located in Western Australia, has confirmed the extension of significant tungsten mineralisation on the western part of the deposit, beyond the limits of the current Mineral Resource.
Hazelwood Resources announced that operating cost estimates have been developed for the Big Hill Pre-Feasibility Study, and an interim pit optimisation has been performed on the upgrade Mineral Resource model. A significant amount of tungsten plant design has been completed including drawings, equipment lists and mass and energy balances. This has allowed the estimation of plant operating costs to a pre-feasibility level of confidence, with accuracy of +/-20%. An eight year operational life at Big Hill is indicated with life of mine strip ratios of 1.2 :1.
