Name of the Mine
Henty mine.

Location 
About 23 km from the town of Queenstown, in north western Tasmania, Australia.

Mine Owner/s 
Catalyst Metals.

Brief Description 
Henty is a high-grade, underground gold/silver deposit with established infrastructure and significant exploration upside in the mineral-rich Mt Read volcanic belt.

Brief History  
Catalyst acquired 100% of the Henty gold mine and regional exploration tenements in January 2021.  The company poured its inaugural gold in the same month.

Primary Metals/Minerals 
Gold.

Secondary Metals/Minerals 
Silver.

Geology/Mineralisation 
The mineralisation at Henty was formed because of faulting and fluid circulation within the Cambrian period Mt Read volcanics. Most significantly, the Henty Fault presents a regional structural control to mineralisation at several mining operations, including Rosebery, Hercules, Que River and Hellyer. The Great Lyell Fault converges with the Henty Fault and presents as a structural continuity with the Mt Lyell copper mine.

Reserves 
Not stated.

Resources 
Total indicated and inferred resources aa June 30, 2021, were estimated at 2.4-million tonnes grading 4.3 g/t.

Mining Method  
The primary mining methods are longhole bench stoping, transverse open stoping, and cut-and-fill stoping.

Major Infrastructure/Equipment 
The operation comprises an underground mine, which is accessible from surface to the series of orebodies through shaft and decline, linked to a common portal exit, and a conventional carbon-in-leach processing plant with a nameplate capacity of 300 000 t/y.

Prospects 
Exploration results have yielded success with regard to the potential to increase resources, owing to high-grade intercepts outside current resource shells, and the potential to delineate new resources in new areas not previously considered.
