Elizabeth Hill Phase 2 – measured take
Phase 2 didn’t suddenly make EH “bigger”, but it made it clearer.
Key takeaways for me:
* Multiple high-grade and bonanza intercepts were repeated and validated under modern QAQC, not just one-off spikes.
* Mineralisation is predictable and structurally controlled (Munni Munni fault + ultramafic–granite contact), with a confirmed southerly plunge that broadens near surface.
* A genuine NW strike extension was demonstrated (25WCDD019), tied to a fault flexure — that’s real lateral upside.
* Granite-hosted mineralisation is now proven, which expands the search space, even if it hasn’t yet added scale.
* Deeper drilling mostly hit low-grade halo, which actually helps by bounding the system and avoiding false depth expectations.
What it didn’t do:
* No major deep expansion.
* No blanket widening of the mineralised envelope.
Overall, Phase 2 was definition, not expansion. It de-risks continuity, validates the historic model, and sets up a credible path to a starter JORC + near-surface economic assessment. Re-rate material in a confidence sense — further upside now depends on Phase 3 step-outs along strike and near surface, not depth.
What I now expect now we have a more defined zone is a mre somewhere in 4-6moz. That's conservative and doesn't consider the open at strike. Just taking 5moz mined over 5 years at $100 profit per oz with our 30% gives us $30m per annum cashflow. Very small overheads. That's just 1 of our assets.
MRE in the summer, mining in 2027. Not that far away. GLA
