The study is on the high-grade, near-surface zinc-lead-silver-gold T1 lens.

The aim of the study is to investigate the conceptual development of T1 as a “dig and truck” operation, under which ore would be milled at CBH Resources’ Endeavor mine located 150 kilometres away, where surplus milling capacity exists.

A site visit is to be conducted next week by Peel and 50:50 joint venture partner CBH, with discussions focused on development scenarios and timelines.

Portfolio

Peel’s projects cover more than 5,000 square kilometres across New South Wales and Western Australia.

- Cobar Superbasin: Farm-in agreement that offers funded strategic greenfields exploration potential along with the new Wirlong copper discovery;
- Wagga Tank: A polymetallic VHMS-type deposit with many significant intercepts;
- Apollo Hill: Exploration project that hosts a major, protruding, shear-hosted, gold mineralised system that remains open down dip and along strike; and
