Taronga tin project, Australia
Name of the Project
Taronga tin project.
Location
New South Wales, Australia.
Project Owner/s
Aus Tin Mining.
Project Description
The project is the world’s fifth-largest undeveloped tin reserve, based on a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource of 57 200 t of contained tin, 26 400 t of contained copper and 4.4-million ounces of silver.
A prefeasibility study (PFS) completed in 2014 demonstrated the technical and economic viability of a project treating 2.5-million tonnes a year of ore, producing an average of 2 800 t/y of contained tin over a nine-year mine life.
Ore will be treated on site using dense-medium, gravity and flotation to produce a final concentrate for sale overseas.
In 2015, Aus Tin Mining announced that it would start a Stage 1 development, comprising a 340 000 t trial mine within the Northern zone ore reserves, and a pilot processing plant.
