Sheffield grows Eneabba resource
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Junior explorer Sheffield Resources has added a further one-million tonnes of resource at its Eneabba mineral sands project, in Western Australia.
The company on Wednesday reported a maiden mineral resource of 52.2-million tonnes, at 2.1% heavy minerals at its Drummond Crossing deposit, adding 1.07-million tonnes of heavy minerals to the overall Eneabba project.
Drummond Crossing is one of six deposits identified within the Eneabba project, of which five are currently included in the resource inventory.
Sheffield said the Drummond Crossing resource added 150 000 t of zircon, 107 000 t of rutile, 570 000 t of ilmenite and 38 000 t of leucoxene to the Eneabba project inventory, which now stood at 6.8-million tonnes of contained heavy minerals, of which 5.8-million tonnes is valuable.
“Drummond Crossing is the fifth resource of over one-million tonnes of contained heavy mineral we have added to our Eneabba project, and is a further example of the near-surface high-value zircon and rutile-rich heavy mineral sand deposits we are targeting,” said Sheffield MD Bruce McQuitty.
He noted that Sheffield had identified four new targets of this style of mineralisation, representing an opportunity to further grow the Eneabba project.
“While the Dampier mineral sands project remains Sheffield’s principal focus, we will continue to pursue low-cost opportunities like this to build a strategic resource base in a proven mining district,” McQuitty said.
