Consolidated Tin Mines completed a 6,481 metre drill program at Gillian deposit as part of the Mt Garnet Tin Project. Results from this program will be included in a JORC Resource Review as part of the Gillian Deposit Definitive Feasibility Study. The Company also completed commissioning a pilot scale trial reduction roasting/tin fuming plant at the Ansac facility at Bunbury, Western Australia, in mid-May 2014. Further trials will follow in June/July to develop additional technical data and design details.
Consolidated Tin Managing Director, John Banning, said: “Completion of the final Gillian drilling program and commissioning of the pilot scale reduction roasting plant are major milestones for the Mt Garnet Tin Project. Drilling results at the Gillian Deposit have continued to confirm significant intersections and improve confidence in the resource, and will be used to update the resource model over the coming month as part of the DFS. We expect completion of the Gillian resource update towards the end of the second quarter, leading to a positive DFS completion in the first half of the coming financial year.”
