Stonehenge Metals has reported that it is planning to commence small-scale tin concentrate production from stockpiled ore at its projects in western Tasmania.
The company, listed on the Australian Stock Exchange last December, is evaluating restarting tin production at the Granville East open pit mine, near Metals X’s Renison mine.
Stonehenge is aiming to generate early cashflow by treating stockpiled ore at a mill on the site which it aims to re-condition by August. Initially 6,000 – 7,000 tonnes of ore grading around 1% tin will be treated. It controls two other tin projects in the vicinity and is also exploring for nickel and zinc.
