    The beautiful #Kimberley region of Western Australia is home to some of the earth’s oldest rocks. The region is not only renowned for its natural beauty but also its significant geology. Boab Metals’ Sorby Hills Project lies in the onshore #BonaparteBasin, a remote and under-explored mineral province highly prospective for carbonate-hosted Silver-Lead-Zinc mineralisation. Learn more about the geology of Sorby Hills:- https://lnkd.in/gAqi-C_j Boab Metals Limited (ASX:BML) is currently developing its 75% owned Sorby Hills Lead-Silver Project which is 50km north east of Kununurra in the East Kimberley of Western Australia. Sorby Hills is Australia’s largest undeveloped, near surface lead-silver deposit with granted mining leases, EPA approval and is 150km from the #WyndhamPort. In parallel with its Sorby Hills development, Boab is also exploring it’s #Manbarrum (100% owned) and #EightMileCreek (100% owned) prospects. In 2024 Boab Metals has focussed on Sorby Hills and specifically activities aimed at bringing about a Final Investment Decision. Since completing the DFS in 2023 the Boab team has focused on delivering the Sorby Hills Front-End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Study and this was achieved in June 2024. Key highlights of the FEED study Base Case included: ·    upfront Capital Expenditure of A$264M; ·    average C1 Cost of US$ 0.36/lb payable Lead (including silver credits); ·    pre-tax NPV8 of A$411M, pre-tax IRR of 37%; and ·    average annual EBITDA of A$126M. The Phase VII drilling program at Sorby Hills in late 2023 delivered an exciting intersection of mineralisation in the first and only hole drilled at the Keep Seismic Target located 2km south of the existing reserves at Sorby Hills.  We are currently following up this result with an additional four drill holes being drilled as part of our ongoing Phase VIII drill program. If successful, drill results could open up new areas within the existing mining tenement for a potential additional economic deposit.  Boab Metals continues to work towards expanding its resource base. With respect to progress toward a Final Investment Decision, negotiation with shortlisted Offtakers for the Sorby Hills concentrate continues to advance with an agreement expected to be reached within the current quarter. With rising demand for lead and silver, there is increasing investment interest in the mineral deposits located in Western Australia. Boab Metals is set to benefit from higher prices of these metals in the future. #Boab #BML #SorbyHillsProject #leadminersasx #silver #silverstocksaustralia #silverinvesting #silverminerswa #stockstowatch #preciousmetalsasx #topstocks

    #BoabMetals has announced the results of its Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) Study for its 75% owned Sorby Hills Lead-Silver-Zinc Project in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. The FEED Study augments and enhances the Sorby Hills Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) released in January, 2023. Key Highlights:- ·      Project updates (excluding any change in macroeconomic assumptions have delivered an increase of +A$73M Net Cash Flow and +A$41M NPV8 compared to the DFS. ·      Key Base Case Project Metrics include upfront Capital Expenditure of A$264M, average C1 Cost of US$ 0.36/lb payable Lead (including silver credits), pre-tax NPV8 of A$411M, pre-tax IRR of 37%, and average annual EBITDA of A$126M. ·      Importantly, the net change to pre-production Capital Expenditure is limited and project pre-tax cash flows over the initial 5 years of production have improved by +A$150M providing a stronger profile to support debt financing. ·      Assuming current spot pricing for Lead, Silver, Exchange Rate and current Benchmark Lead Treatment and Silver Refining Charges results in an NPV8 of A$596M, pre-tax IRR of 47% and average annual EBITDA of A$160M. Key Project Updates include:- ·      Updated post FEED pricing for the Process Plant EPC Contract provided by @GREngineeringServices (“GRES”). ·      Updated mining schedule bringing forward mining of the high-grade #NortonDeposit. ·      Updated metal recovery and concentrate grades for the Norton Deposit based on new metallurgical testwork on core recovered during the Phase VII drilling program. ·      Updated pricing for the Mining and Earthworks Contracts provided on a bundled basis and based on the optimised site layout and mining schedule. ·      Updated tailings strategy with above-ground tailings disposal being employed for the Life of Mine as opposed to in-pit deposition previously adopted in the #DFS. Simon Noon stated “Following the DFS, we identified clear opportunities to optimise and de-risk the Project both technically and economically. Over the past year, we have pursued these opportunities in conjunction with completing Front End Engineering & Design on our Process Plant with GRES. We are pleased to present the results of our work during this period in the form of this FEED Study. We now look forward to accelerating our engagement with financiers and further advancing Sorby Hills toward a Final Investment Decision.” For full details see the link below:- https://lnkd.in/gA7zb_8h #BML #SorbyHills #lead #silver #zinc #basemetals #FEED #leadminersasx #silverstockaustralia #silverminerswa #stockstowatch #batterymetalsasx #topstocks #GRES

    #BoabMetals today announced interim results of additional metallurgical testwork at its 75% owned Sorby Hills Lead-Silver-Zinc Project. The encouraging results of the testwork delivered a 5% increase in #Norton lead recovery from 78% to 83% with an improvement in concentrate grade from 56.9% to 59.9%Pb. These results will be incorporated in the current FEED Study. Simon Noon stated “This testwork has been ongoing during 2024 and the results support the case for higher recoveries at Norton and the potential to improve mine life via a future assessment of pit optimisation and pit designs associated with the deposit.” For full details see the link below:- https://lnkd.in/gZBy5EUx #BML #SorbyHills #lead #silver #zinc #basemetals #leadminersasx #silverstockaustralia #silverminerswa #stockstowatch #batterymetalsasx #topstocks
