Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) is pleased to announce the positive results of a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS)for theCompany’s Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) Project, located 500 km southeast of Perth in the Tier 1miningjurisdiction of Western Australia.
The PFS results align with those of the Scoping Study on the project released to the ASX on November9th2023.
The PFS highlights the project’s exceptionally strong economics and outlines a pathway for Lake Hope to become a global supplier of lowcost, lowcarbon HPA, benefiting both the local Ngadju AboriginalNative title holdersand the broader community.
The robust economics stem from the unique characteristics of the Lake Hope deposit, which facilitate costeffective mining and processing.
The PFS confirms that, to the best of Impact’s knowledge based on published data, the Lake Hope project could be among the lowestcost producers of HPA globally, potentially by a significant margin of at least 30%.
Given these strongfundamentals, Impactwill issue 120 million shares, escrowed for 12 months,to exercise its option to acquire an 80% interest in Playa OnePty Ltd, which owns the Lake Hope assets and intellectual property, including two patents for metallurgical processes (ASX Release March 21st 2023).
Work will now commence on a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which willinclude the construction of a pilot plant to produce HPA samplesat scalefor discussions on offtake agreements.The pilot plantproject,currently underway, will be partfundedby therecentfederalgovernmentgrant awarded to Impact Minerals in collaboration with CPC Engineering and Edith Cowan University (ASX Release October 22nd 2024).

Impact Announces a Maiden Measured Resource for the Lake Hope High Purity Alumina(HPA)Project, WA

 

 

,

Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT). Is pleased to announce a substantial and highgrade maiden Measured Resource estimate for its flagship Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) Project, located about 500 km east of Perth in Western Australia.
Impact has the right to earn an 80% interest in Playa One Pty Ltd, owner of the Lake Hope project, via an incorporated joint venture by completing a PreFeasibility Study (PFS) currently in progress.
The Measured Resource comprises 730,000 tonnes of lake clay at a grade of 25.8% alumina (aluminium oxide, Al2O3) for a contained 189,000 tonnes of alumina).
A maiden Measured Resource of 730,000 tonnes at 25.8% alumina (Al2O3) for acontained189,000 tonnes of alumina has been defined at the Lake Hope HPA Projectin Western Australia.The Measured Resource supports the first 15 years or more of proposed HPAproduction from Lake Hope. It will underpin a maiden Probable or Proven Reserve,subject to ongoing mining studies, test work, and economic studies to be completedas part of the PreFeasibility Study on Lake Hope.Impact aims to bring Lake Hope into production to deliver lowcost, highmargin endproducts to a rapidly expanding global market. Current prices for benchmark 4N HPA(99.99% Al2O3) and related products are more than US$20,000 per tonne.The PreFeasibility Study will be completed in Q1 2025 after the final reports fromvarious contractors and consultants are received, which are expected in Decemberand January.Following an agreement with the Federal government, the first monies from therecent$2.87 million grant for the CRCP research and development project with CPCEngineering and Edith Cowan University to construct a pilot plant for Lake Hope willbe received by the end of November, a few months ahead of schedule. This willaccelerate the construction of the pilot plant.
The Measured Resource will underpin a maiden Probable or Proven Reserve Statement for an initial mine life of at least 15 years at the proposed benchmark production rate of 10,000 tonnes per annum of High Purity Alumina.
The Reserve Statement is subject to further mining, metallurgical test work and economic studies that are part of the ongoing PFS (ASX Release October 9th 2024).
The larger resource underpins a potentially much longer mine life of at least 25 years, as reported in the Scoping Study on Lake Hope. The study showed that the project had very robust economics, with an aftertax Net Present Value (NPV8) of A$1.3 billion and one of the lowest operating costs per tonne of HPA globally (ASX Release November 9th, 2023).
Impact confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information in the Scoping Study continue to apply.

Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT)i s pleased to announce that it has lodged a Mining Lease Application (MLA63/684)and associated Miscellaneous Licence (L63/99) for the Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) Project located500 km east of Perth in Western Australia.
This is a crucial step in advancing the project towards production as it defines the work required to obtain the statutory approvals needed for the grant of the Mining Lease.
Mining Lease Lodged for the Lake Hope High Purity Alumina Project, WA.
.Mining Lease Application (MLA63/684) lodged over the West Lake resource.Miscellaneous Licence(L63/99)lodged to cover mine infrastructure and haulageroad.A clear pathway to the grant of the mining leasehas beenestablished with twomain focus areasgoing forward:oA negotiation protocol for Land Access and Cultural Heritage agreementswith the Ngadju peopleswhichis under review; andoFurther seasonal flora and fauna surveys.Mining studies are underway as part of the PreFeasibility Study to providemining schedules, proposed equipment, site logistics and costs of mining and transport of ore to Kwinana.
The approvals process, together with the logistics and estimated costs of mining and transporting the Lake Hope mud to the process plant, form one of the four key parts of a PreFeasibility Study (PFS) on Lake Hope, which is in progress .
Impact can take an 80% interest in Playa One Pty Limited, which owns the Lake Hope Project and associated intellectual property, by completing the PFS(ASX Releases March 21st 2023 and July 10th 2024).
The PFS followed on from a positive Scoping Study,which showed that for a benchmark production of 10,000 tonnes per annum of HPA, theProject has an estimated posttaxNet Present Value (NPV8) of about A$1.3 billion and would potentially be one of the lowestcost producers of HPA globally (ASX Release November 9th 2023).

All material assumptions underpinning the production target and the forecast financial information derived from it in the Scoping Study continue to apply and have not materially changed within the +/30% parameters (ASX November 9th,2023).

.
.

Impact Minerals’ Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said,

“We are very pleased to have lodged Impact’s firstever mining lease, a major step in our goal to bring the Lake Hope High Purity Alumina project into production..
.
“The application covers West Lakeand sufficient material for at least the first 15 years of our proposed production. It also offers a more direct haulage route to the NorsemanHyden road than existing tracks, potentially saving millions of dollarsi n road construction costs..
The Application also clearly sets a path towards gaining the statutory approvals required for the grant of the Mining Lease. In particular, this will require engaging in a welldefined negotiation process with the Ngadju Aboriginal people, the traditional custodians of the land around Lake Hope and further seasonal flora and fauna surveys in and around the proposed mine infrastructure.
.
“We will progress on both these critical paths in the next Quarter.
.
All this work at what will be the Lake Hope Mine is one piece of the large jigsaw puzzle that comprises the PreFeasibility Study, and we continue to make progress with the other key pieces: the process plant, test work, product offtake, and marketing.
.
“We are working towards completing the PFS by the end of the year and set ourselves up for significant strides towards production and offtake in 2025.”

City Investors Circle Mining Review 26th May 2024

 

Another week on the roller coaster ride that constitutes the markets these days, with precious metals taking a fall after their recent strong run, once again because of doubts of any US rate cuts this year, and even the odd rumour that rates may have to rise!

Silver was down nearly 4%, and gold nearly 3% as a result, with platinum and palladium also being hammered. The precious metal ETFs took a real pummelling, down around 4% on average.

Base metals are going in the opposite direction as markets are turning positive about the Chinese economy again, despite plenty of evidence their real estate market is in turmoil and requiring urgent governement support, see HERE.

Iron ore lead the way with a 5% rise, with nickel, copper, and zinc all healthily up.

Where will we be next week I wonder?  I’m surprised the Biden camp haven’t tried to force the FED to reduce rates given the forthcoming election and their poor rating in the polls.


Zimbabwe has introduced a gold backed currency, the ZIG, where all the currency issued will be backed by gold reserves.

The IMF have now endorsed the ZIG, see HERE


 

Gold Road Resources is the subject of some bid rumour speculation in Australia, with Gruyere JV partner Gold Fields name being mentioned amongst others.

West Red Lake Gold Mines reported more decent gold intercepts, and Impact Minerals reported they are financed to complete the Lake Hope pre-feasability study.

I bought a small initial investment in Impact Minerals this week as I’m impressed by the steady progress they’re making as a company, and in particular the Lake Hope HPA project, that really does look exciting, and, if it realises its potential, would be a company maker.

Impact Minerals – CaligulaA Significant  CopperTarget at the Arkun Project, WA

.
.
.
 Impact Minerals  (ASX:IPT)  A large and significant target for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation has been identified at 100% owned Arkun Project located 150 km east of Perth in the emerging mineral province of southwest Western Australia.
The newly named Caligula prospect, initially identified in roadside and subsequent followup soil geochemistry surveys (Anomaly D: ASX Release 9th August 2023), has been significantly enhanced by the presence of several significant conductors within the geochemistry anomaly that may represent disseminated or massive sulphides.
.

Highlights

A large and significant target for porphyry copper mineralisation has been identified in soil geochemistry data and Mobile MagnetoTelluric (MMT) data at theCaligula Prospect.A 5km by 1 km soil geochemistry anomaly contains the key metal assemblage of coppersilvercobalt+/telluriumbismuthmolybdenum, all indicators of porphyry coppermineralisation such as is found at Boddington and Calingiri in the same region of Western Australia. Gold assays are expected in February.The geochemistry anomaly coincides with numerous conductors identified in the MMT data that may represent disseminated or massive sulphides.Infill and extensional soil geochemistry surveys, together with a detailed interpretation of the MMT data,are underway to define the extent of Caligula and identify specific drilltargets more fully.A followup aircore drill programme is to be undertaken as soon as practicable,which will also include the recently discovered Hyperion and Swordfish REE prospects.
.The conductors were identified in recently acquired helicopterborne Mobile MagnetoTelluric (MMT) data from one of the first surveys of this cuttingedge technology to be flown in Australia.
Caligula adds to Impact’s previously reported large Rare Earth Element soil geochemistry anomalies identified at Hyperion, located15km to the west, and Horseshoe, located 20km to the east, and emphasises the significant exploration potential fora range of battery and strategic metals at the Arkun project (ASX Releases 4th January 2024 and 1st June 2023).

Impact Minerals Lake Hope Update

Impact Minerals (ASX:IPT)

A  significant bulk sampling and test pits program has recently been completed at IPT’s  flagship Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) project located 500 km east of Perth in Western Australia.

Impact Minerals Bulk Sampling and Test Pit Program Completed at Lake Hope HPA Project

 

.

Impact Minerals (ASX: IPT) Announced that a significant bulk sampling and test pits program has recently been completed at their flagship Lake Hope High Purity Alumina (HPA) project located 500 km east of Perth in Western Australia.

 

The program is a critical component of the PreFeasibility Study on Lake Hope, which is currently underway following a positive Scoping Study on the project that indicated the project may be the lowestcost producer of HPA globally by a significant margin (ASX Release 9th November 2023).

Impact has the right to earn an 80% interest in the Lake Hope project by completing the Prefeasibility Study (ASX Release 21st March 2023).

A total of 5.5 tonnes of material was collected from twentyfive bulk samples taken from test pits across West Lake and East Lake, which host the alumina deposit at Lake Hope.

 

The deposit contains a resource of 3.5 million tonnes at 25.1% alumina (Al2O3) for a contained 880,000 tonnes of alumina, of which about 88%, or about 775,000 tonnes of alumina, is in the higher confidence Indicated Resource category (ASX Release 19th June 2023).

 

.

Managing Director Dr Mike Jones said:

This bulk sampling program marks another significant milestone in our journey towards the production of High Purity Alumina (HPA) from Lake Hope and caps off a very busy and successful nine months since acquiring the rights for this exceptional project.

“In that time, we have completed a maiden resource statement, obtained heritage clearance from the Ngadju First Nations people, completed most of the first phase of metallurgical test work using the unique Playa One sulphate process, and completed a Scoping Study.

 

“The results of that study were outstanding and demonstrated the potential of Lake Hope to produce HPA at a cost much less than any other supplier globally, and this has given us the confidence to progress the prefeasibility study aggressively.

 

“The bulk samples will set us up for the forthcoming stages of development, which will include the commissioning of a minipilot plant once the initial test work is completed.

Our focus for 2024 will be to complete the PFS, which will include setting up the minipilot plant and, in particular, producing HPA in bulk for potential customers and offtake partners.

 

“As part of this strategy, we have already started reaching out to key groups in the battery and LED market, and the demand is there.

 

“We look forward to a watershed year for Lake Hope, Impact and its shareholders”.

Impact confirms that no new information exists, and all modifying factors remain the same as at the time of the first publication of the resource.

Lake Hope HPA Project, WA: PFS and Metallurgical Test Work Update

The Preliminary Feasibility Study is progressing on schedule, with significant progress made on the metallurgical test work to verify the proprietary and patented Playa One process that converts raw lake clay from Lake Hope into High Purity Alumina (HPA). Three of the Five Stages of the Playa One sulphate process have been completed with results that either confirm or improve upon previous results. Intermediate aluminium salts have been produced from Stage 3 that require further purification in Stages 4 and 5 to make HPA, with results expected by late this Quarter or early Q1 2024.
Other PFS progress includes: Environmental baseline studies are to commence in early November. Statutory approvals (PoW) have been received for a geotechnical drill program, shallow water bores and a bulk sample program, which will all commence this Quarter. A meeting with the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry and Safety Regulations is set for late October to discuss the lodgment of a Mining Lease application. Ongoing discussions with industry analysts, marketing representatives and end users have commenced to secure agreements for product testing. An independent review of the Lake Hope Scoping Study is nearly complete.
.

Impact Minerals’ Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said,

We continue progressing rapidly across the entire PreFeasibility Study on Lake Hope, particularly with the metallurgical test work.
“The test work has shown the Playa One Sulphate Process is straightforward and very effective in leaching the unique clays at Lake Hope.
“We are delighted with the results that have replicated or improved Playa One’s previous work. We have zeroed in on the ideal process conditions to make HPA in quantity and are very focused on making improvements that will reduce processing costs.
“We aim to produce 99.99% or 4N HPA by early next year.
“Our work continues to highlight the competitive advantages of the unique mineral deposit at Lake Hope and its potential to become one of the lowestcost producers of HPA globally.
“We look forward to releasing our Scoping Study shortly, following an independent review, which will give a first look at the economics of this exceptional project”.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 8th October 2023

Higher US bond yields were the focus this week as they pushed gold lower, and then on Friday retreated a tad to allow gold to rise into the close. some commentator think this is the peak for rates, but I’m not convinced.

Tirning to companies on our watchlist, last week was sparse on the news front,  with the major story being Neometals’ update on their Barrambie titanium and vanadium project, where they announced they have failed to agree terms with Xinjiang for offtake, and have terminated discussions.

This is clearly a major disappointment, and a bit of a surprise, as I expected an agreement as clearly the Chinese want and need the product, and NMT the offtake agreeemnt to boost the share price.

One wonders what the stumbling blocks were and how far apart on price?

August 16, 2023 CORPORATE RELEASE

Revised Terms for the Sale of 75% Interest in the Commonwealth Project, NSW

.
Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) is pleased to announce that it has finalised revised terms for the sale of up to a 75% interest in the Company’s 100% owned Commonwealth Project to Burrendong Minerals Ltd (Burrendong) , an unrelated public company.
The revised terms will see Impact retaining a 49% interest in the project following a proposed IPO of Burrendong. In addition, Burrendong recently acquired the right to acquire the Galwadgere coppergold project, located 7 kilometres along trend from the Commonwealth deposit, from Sky Metals Limited (Figure 1 and ASX:SKY Release 14th July 2023).
Galwadgere contains an Inferred Resource of 3.6Mt at 0.82% copper and 0.27g/t gold at a cutoff grade of 0.5% copper (ASX:SKY Release July 7th 2021). This is a significant addition to the resources defined by Impact at Commonwealth and detailed below.
.

Impact Minerals’ Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said,

These revised terms, should Burrendong list, will allow Impact to retain a larger percentage of the Commonwealth Project as well as being a shareholder in a company that could have three deposits containing a significant global resource under its belt, Commonwealth, Silica Hill and Galwadgere.
These deposits all occur within the Lachlan fold belt, one of Australia’s most prolifically mineralised areas and host to the similar Woodlawn deposit, a worldclass deposit currently under development. We look forward to supporting Burrendong as they progress towards their IPO”.

The revised terms, which supersede the terms announced by the Company on August

8th 2022, are:

.
1. An extension of the Exclusivity Period to September 30th 2023, to complete a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) and Joint Venture Agreement (JVA). Burrendong can extend the Exclusivity Period for a further eight weeks for a nonrefundable payment of $25,000.

2. On execution of the SPA, Impact to receive a nonrefundable payment of $75,000.

Impact Minerals has hit a significant milestone in its journey to producing High Purity Alumina (HPA), securing heritage clearances across its entire Lake Hope deposit in WA.

.

.

Impact Minerals (ASX:IPT) will conduct further consultation and surveys for any additional work areas required to develop the project and aims to develop the Lake Hope alumina project collaboratively and respectfully with all traditional owners and native title parties.

The company completed a heritage survey with the Ngadju Native Title group in compliance with the new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act.

The work area was fortuntely assessed as having no Aboriginal artefacts or cultural heritage concerns, which ground- disturbing activities would impact.

Under the new Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act the survey provides evidence that pending lodgement of a mining lease and negotiating a mining agreement with the Ngadju Native Title holders, ground-disturbing activities carried out within the survey area, including the proposed shallow open pit, are exempt from additional Tier 2 or Tier 3 management plans.

The survey has now provided clearance for ground-disturbing activities over the entire Lake Hope deposit and nearby access tracks.

The clearance also significantly de-risks the project and is a critical component of the work required to lodge a mining lease application, planned for later this quarter.

 

 

.

Impact Minerals; MD Dr Mike Jones said.

“Impact Minerals acknowledges and would like to thank the Ngadju Native Title Holders and elder’s past, present and emerging, for organising and participating in the survey, and we look forward to continuing to work effectively with them in the future.”

 

“This positive outcome represents another step forward on the pathway to the production of high purity alumina, which presents a compelling opportunity for Impact Minerals’ shareholders and the broader community of the Ngadju native title holders.

 

“The heritage clearance, together with our recently announced maiden indicated and inferred resource of 880,000 tonnes of contained alumina, has significantly de-risked the mining aspect of the project and will allow us to progress with our mining lease application later this quarter confidently”.

.

.

Lake Hope is one of five exploration licences in WA owned by Playa One Pty, in which Impact has the right to earn an 80% interest.

Mining Review 22nd January 2023

Copper is up as once again supply concerns emerge as more protests erupt in Peru, constraining production in the world’s second largest exporting country. Some protests are targeting mines, with blockades, and arson attacks, the others the government, so it’s a fiery mix.

This is occurring as China is ramping back up their industrial production against a background of low world copper warehouse stocks.

Quite a busy week for news, with Ascot Resources, Calidus Resources, Impact Minerals, Minera Alamos, Orla Mining, and TriStar Gold all making positive this week. Please click the links below for the full story.

Impact selected to participate in the BHP Xplor program to help accelerate exploration needed for the energy transition

.

.

Impact Minerals Limited (ASX:IPT) is pleased to announce that it has been selected to participate in the inaugural BHP Xplor program, principally to help fund exploration at the Company’s Broken Hill Project in New South Wales.

BHP Xplor, an accelerator program introduced by BHP in August 2022, is designed to help provide participants with the opportunity to accelerate their growth and the potential to establish a long-term partnership with BHP and its global network of partners.

Impact will receive up to US$500,000 in cash payments from BHP over the next six months and gain access to a network of internal and external experts to help guide development in the technical, business and operational aspects of the company.

.

.

.

Impact’s Managing Director Dr Mike Jones said;

“We are thrilled and honoured to be one of first-ever participants of the prestigious BHP Xplor program and to partner with the world’s largest mining company in our exploration.

 

“This is a testament to Impact’s innovative thinking over the years and we are looking forward to working with them to accelerate exploration at Broken Hill and also upgrading our skills company-wide by gaining access to their global network”.

.

.

.

Sonia Scarselli, Vice President, BHP Xplor shares;

“We are amazed by the diversity and quality of the submissions we reviewed and selected.

 

“We are confident that the BHP Xplor program will support the companies chosen to accelerate their concepts and ideas, to help take them to the next level.”

.

The BHP Xplor funding will be used to identify new target areas for copper and other energy metals around the Broken Hill area where Impact has been quietly adding to its ground position for a number of years.

Impact believes that there is significant untapped exploration potential at Broken Hill for copper mineralisation and has been working with world renowned geologist Prof. Tony Crawford on a new model for copper associated with mafic intrusions that are part of the Broken Hill Group rocks.
