Greenstone Resources starts strategic review into the potential for small-scale near-term gold production at Burbanks and Phillips Find

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Special Report:<\/em> Greenstone Resources has kicked off a strategic review aimed at assessing the potential for near-term mining at its Burbanks and Phillips Find gold projects near Coolgardie, WA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burbanks is just 9km south of Coolgardie and appears to be a no brainer to meet this objective, which comes amidst strong Australian gold prices of about $3,050 per oz.<\/p>\n

Not only does it have a historical gold production totalling 444,600oz at high-grades of 22.7 grams per tonne (g\/t) gold down to about 140m from the Birthday Gift and Main Lode underground workings, it also has biggest and highest grade undeveloped resources in the region (6.1Mt at 2.4 g\/t gold for 465,567oz).<\/p>\n

Recent drilling by Greenstone Resources (ASX:GSR)<\/strong><\/a> has also returned bonanza grade gold<\/strong><\/a> of up to 1.55m @ 20.4g\/t gold below the current resource, indicating that the mineralising system at Burbanks has the ability to produce continuous high-grade gold zones \u2013 a finding that bodes well for further resource upgrades.<\/p>\n

To top it off, the project is on a granted mining lease, a must have for getting into production quickly as it cuts out a whole swathe of red tape.<\/p>\n

Likewise, Phillips Find has seen historical production of some 33,000oz of gold between 1998 and December 2015 from three open pit operations \u2013 Bacchus Gift, Newhaven and Newminster.<\/p>\n

Phillips Find currently hosts a resource of 732,960t at 2.3g\/t for 54,567oz of gold that is either adjacent to, or below the historical open pits.<\/p>\n

Assessing \u201csmall-scale near-term production opportunities\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GSR has appointed an independent mining consultancy to undertake preliminary open-pit optimisations for both Burbanks and Phillips Find.<\/p>\n

Initial pit optimisations at Burbanks North shows potential for a starter pit within the permitted area with the opportunity for a larger open pit operating scenario in the future, subject to further permitting.<\/p>\n

Early discussions are currently underway in respect of mining and milling partnerships for Burbanks North.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive resampling campaign is also underway at Burbanks where up to 66 holes have been identified as potentially intercepting modelled ore lodes based off recent lithographic and petrographic analysis.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, initial pit optimisations are currently underway for Phillips Find assessing potential open-pit cutbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the focus for the company remains the continued growth of the resource base to support a long life and sustainable operation, the company also believes that it is prudent to assess small-scale near-term production opportunities which may provide a near-term and non-dilutive source of funding to allow the company to fund future exploration and resource growth activities,\u201d managing director Chris Hansen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent open-pit optimisation work at Burbanks highlights the potential for a high-grade starter pit within the existing permitted footprint, with early discussions already underway with potential mining and processing partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside of the current mining optimisation program, the company has recently completed a detailed lithologic and petrographic review serving to identify up to 66 drill holes which may intercept previously modelled ore lodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo put this resampling campaign into context, the typical ~10,000m drill campaigns previously completed by the company usually results in 30-40 holes being drilled. Importantly, the resampling does not require any further drilling, merely low-cost re-logging and sampling.\u201d<\/p>\n
