Overview of mineral deposits in NSW The geology of NSW comprises a series of crystalline provinces and younger basins. Each of these provinces have separate geological histories that control known and potential mineral endowment.
The geological endowment of NSW in conjunction with the growing demand for minerals presents opportunities to further grow the NSW minerals sector. Developing mineral deposits will contribute to stabilising global markets for critical minerals and facilitate greater adoption of emerging technologies by providing sustainable supply chains.
Current mining operations occur in key provinces:
- Curnamona Province (Broken Hill), - Lachlan Orogen (Cadia, Cobar, Cowal, Fifield-Nyngan), - The Murray Basin (mineral sands) and, - The New England Orogen (gold and antimony).
Most of the critical mineral resources in NSW are hosted in the Lachlan Orogen, with some cobalt resources in the Curnamona Province and New England Orogen.

Base metal and iron ore projects Post PFS base metal and iron ore projects Bowdens Silver Project The Bowdens Silver Project is the largest known undeveloped silver deposit in Australia with substantial mineral resources. Located on the eastern margin of the Lachlan Orocline/Macquarie Arc the resource covers an area of approximately 113 hectares hosted in the Permian Rylstone Volcanics where it occurs as tabular, flat-lying to gently north dipping zone sub-parallel to stratigraphy. In June 2018, the Company completed a Feasibility Study comprising a single open-cut mine with an initial mine life of 16 years.

Hawsons Iron Project Independent analysis has confirmed the Hawsons Iron Project is likely to be in the 1st quartile of CRU’s global iron ore supply cost curve (adjusted to 62% Fe). The project aims to produce a product that is 70% Fe, offering the highest iron content available on the seaborne market, because of this the project has received interest from significant steel producers within the Asian and Middle Eastern markets. The project is located close to existing rail and power infrastructure.
A Project prefeasibility study (PFS) was completed in July 2017, for an annual production of 10 million tonnes per annum. The PFS confirmed strong project economics with an NPV value of US$1.1 billion, 30% IRR pre-tax, 18% IRR post-tax. Table 4 : Project Overview

Advanced exploration and development for base metals Kempfield Located 41 kilometres to the south of Newcrest’s Cadia is Kempfield, the Company’s flagship project. The Kempfield Polymetallic Project is situated in the eastern province of the Lachlan Orogen. The Kempfield deposit belongs to a peer group of volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits located at the margins of geological basins. The Project would consist of two open cut complexes, a processing plant, a waste rock emplacement, a heap leach pad and associated infrastructure.
Metallurgical test work has confirmed high grade zinc concentrate (54%-59%) and high-grade lead concentrate (54%-59%), with high rates of recover for zinc, silver and gold. Additional infill drilling is underway to increase the resource potential for gold and silver. Additional resources identified in the latest drilling to be included in a feasibility study.

Battery metal projects Post PFS battery metal projects Sunrise Clean TeQ is developing its world-class Sunrise nickel, cobalt, scandium project (formerly named as Syerston Nickel Cobalt Scandium Project) in New South Wales. A Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) was completed in June 2018, which demonstrated the robust economics and long mine life (40+ years) for the Project, and highlighted the Project’s global importance as a sustainable, long-life, low-cost source of high purity cobalt and nickel sulphates for the rapidly growing battery market.

Broken Hill Cobalt Project Cobalt Blue is a cobalt focused exploration company focused on developing the Broken Hill Cobalt Project. Cobalt is a strategic metal and is in strong demand for new generation batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries now being widely used in clean energy systems including electric vehicles. The project area covers portions of the Broken Hill and Thackaringa Group successions that host most of the mineralisation in the region, including the world-class Broken Hill Ag-Pb-Zn deposit. Cobalt Blue is proceeding with a Bankable Feasibility Study focusing upon revenue increases (mine life extension, cobalt recovery improvements, elemental sulphur market and potentially iron oxide product) and cost reductions.

Mineral Sands and Critical Metals Post PFS mineral sand projects Atlas-Campaspe Atlas-Campaspe Project is being developed by Cristal Mining Australia Limited, which was renamed Tronox Mining Australia Limited (Tronox) following the acquisition by Tronox in 2019. The deposit consists of over 6.5Mt of contained heavy mineral to be concentrated and processed into ilmenite, leucoxene, zircon and rutile end products. The mine has a potential mine life of 20 years.

Balranald Balranald and Nepean are two rutile-rich deposits in the northern Murray Basin, New South Wales. A drilling programme to provide more detailed understanding of the deposit mineralisation was completed in late 2018. The results were positive and have increased Iluka’s confidence. The proposed final trial is currently being planned and is designed to determine whether the underground mining and backfilling technology is economically viable in a continuous mining and processing environment.

Copi mineral sands The Copi deposit is a higher-grade strandline-type, ilmenite-rutile-zircon-leucoxene (titanium, zirconium) placer deposit, located in the Murray Basin in south-western NSW, including Copi North and Sunshine, Sunshine extension, Copi South, Springwood and Magic deposits. The deposit is characterised by low slimes (2.8%) and minimal oversize (2%). The Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Copi Project was completed December 2019, a final feasibility study is now underway. The company's proposed operating philosophy will be based on a dry mining open pit truck and excavator operation processing 1.5 million tonnes per annum (tpa) of heavy Mineral Sands.

Post PFS critical metal projects The Dubbo Project The Dubbo Project is a world-class large in-ground resource for zirconium, hafnium, niobium, yttrium and rare earth elements. It is the most advanced poly-metallic project of its kind outside China, making it a potential strategic and independent supply of critical minerals for a range of sustainable technologies and future industries. It has a potential mine life of 70+ years. To complement the Dubbo Project the proponent, Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) has secured the commercial rights to a metallisation process known as Ziron Tech, allowing the production of high-purity metals from oxides with significantly less energy requirements compared to conventional methods. ASM is currently operating a pilot plant for the Ziron technology with successful production of: Titanium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, Neodymium-praseodymium, Dysprosium, Zirconium.

Nyngan Scandium Project Nyngan Scandium Project is world's first scandium-only mine development project. Surface mining at the site is anticipated to be done by conventional truck and shovel method. The resource is a typical tertiary laterite, composed of limonites and saprolites. Minerals exploration at the site has defined a measured and indicated resource significantly larger than the currently planned 20-year mine life outlined in the feasibility study. Production targeted for approximately 38,000 kg per year of scandium oxide (Sc2O3).

Advanced exploration and development for critical metals Flemington Scandium Australian Mines' Flemington Project is located within 400 km of Sydney, NSW and represents a potential second cobalt-nickel-scandium operation for the Company. During the year, Australian Miens exercised its option to take full ownership of this project following which the Company commenced a Mineral Resource expansion drilling program, which represents the largest exploration/resource definition program even undertaken across the project area and is a clear show of confidence in the Flemington Project's ability to potentially host a nationally important cobalt resource.
