WPG upgrades Tunkillia resource
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – A review of ASX-listed WPG Resources’ Tunkillia gold project, in South Australia, has resulted in an enhanced resource estimate that would allow for a greater degree of flexibility when considering development options.
WPG noted that, as part of its review, the company recast the resource estimate using a more realistic cutoff grade, which, as expected, reduced the tonnage but increased the average grade.
A previously published resource estimated that the 223 deposit at the Tunkillia project hosted some 26.3-million tonnes, grading 1.04 g/t gold, using a 0.5 g/t cutoff grade.
Following the review, the deposit was now estimated to host some 12.32-million tonnes, grading 1.41 g/t gold. WPG noted that the total estimated resource grade was now some 36% higher than previously reported.
The ASX-listed company told shareholders that it would now conduct an in-depth review of the potential development scenarios, including optimisation studies.
The results of these studies would set the platform for WPG to redefine the project parameters and to advance a new exploration and development strategy for the Tunkillia project.
