Kasbah shows massive resource increase in Morocco
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Tin developer Kasbah Resources has increased the measured resource at its Achmmach project, in Morocco, by some 220% and its measured resource by some 168%.
The ASX-listed Kasbah reported that the measured resource had increased from 500 000 t to 1.6-million tonnes, while the measured resource increased from 6 000 t to 16 100 t.
“The recent 20-m-spaced infill drill programme has successfully achieved a 220% increase in the measured tonnage of the key high-grade core at Achmmach. This level of detail in an area planned for early mine development is critical for mine planning purposes,” said Kasbah MD Wayne Bramwell.
He noted that, in addition, the 40-m-spaced program had provided a high resolution view across the total 1.6 km of strike of the Miknes Trend.
“Importantly, the drilling shows that this tin system remains open at depth, and in conjunction with the parallel Sidi Addi trend, are very prospective for potential additional resource and mine life extensions.”
Bramwell pointed out that the definitive feasibility study (DFS) was the next milestone in the development of the Achmmach project, and was on track for completion by the fourth quarter of this year.
The DFS was looking at the development of a one-million-tonne-a-year underground mine, concentrator and associated infrastructure. First tin from Achmmach was planned for 2015.
