澳大利亚上市公司黑斯廷斯科技金属公司宣布其Yangibana稀土项目增加了13%的矿藏资源。
目前该项目的矿藏资源为151万吨，总稀土氧化物从8200吨增加到171000吨。镨钕氧化物增加到59000吨。
“令我们高兴的是，这次公示不仅证实了我们现有的资源量，而且也增加了我们对矿藏储量的预期。”黑斯廷斯执行总裁Charles Lew说，“我们有信心，矿石储量的增加将延长矿山的寿命，这将有效支撑项目的融资。”
Yangibana一百万吨的年生产计划预计将产出约15000吨的混合稀土碳酸盐，8850吨总稀土氧化物，黑斯廷斯预花费4亿2700万美元使项目正式投产。
ASX-listed Hastings Technology Metals has reported a 13% increase in the measured and indicated mineral resource at its Yangibana rare earths project, in Western Australia.
The project is now estimated to host a combined measured and indicated mineral resource of 15.1-million tonnes, with estimated total rare earth oxide increasing by 8200 t, or 5%, to 171000t.The neodymium and praseodymium oxide estimate has also increased by 7%, to 59000t.
“We are extremely pleased that this work has not only confirmed our existing mineral resource but has significantly increased the measured and indicated portions which drive mining reserves,” said Hastings executive chairperson Charles Lew.“We are confident that the expected increase in ore reserves will extend the mine life, which underpins the project financing.”
The one-million-tonne-a-year Yangibana operation is expected to produce some 15 000 t/y of mixed rare earths carbonate, and about 8 850 t/y of total rare earth oxides over ten years, with Hastings expected to spend some A$427-million to bring the project on line.
