CBH Resources Limited holds mining title (CML7) over the central 3.8 kilometres of the Broken Hill lode system containing substantial tonnage of unmined zinc, lead and silver mineralisation.

The Western Mineralisation, a zinc rich lode horizon, has been the focus of a detailed evaluation programme  for a new mine development based on low cost mining methods.

The new mine, called “Rasp Mine”, will have the benefits of all the existing infrastructure that is in place as well as being a mine development without the constraints of old workings and remnant mining

A decline from the bottom of the Kintore open cut has been completed to provide access to the orebody.  The Resource total within the upper 600 metres of the orebody is:

10.1 Mt @ 4.9% Zn, 3.5% Pb and 43 g/t Ag

A new processing plant has been designed to process 750,000 tonnes of ore per year to produce 32,000 tonnes of zinc, 25,000 tonnes of lead, and 500,000 ounces of silver per year.  Additional high grade ore is expected to be processed from remnant main lode pillars that will significantly enhance the project’s output and cash flow.

The project is currently awaiting final environmental approvals and an improvement in low metal prices to proceed.
