Notes to Editors
Strategic Minerals plc (AIM: SML; USOTC: SMCDY) is an AIM-quoted, producing minerals company, actively developing strategic projects in the UK, United States and Australia.
In 2019, the Company completed the 100% acquisition of Cornwall Resources Limited and the Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project.
The Redmoor Project is situated within the historically significant Tamar Valley Mining District in Cornwall, United Kingdom, with a JORC (2012) Compliant Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate published 14 February 2019:
Cut-off (SnEq%) | Tonnage (Mt) | WO3 % | Sn % | Cu % | Sn Eq1 % | WO3 Eq % |
>0.45 | 1.50 | 0.18 | 0.21 | 0.30 | 0.58 | 0.41 |
>0.65 | 10.20 | 0.62 | 0.16 | 0.53 | 1.26 | 0.88 |
Total Inferred Resource | 11.70 | 0.56 | 0.16 | 0.50 | 1.17 | 0.82 |
1 Equivalent metal calculation notes; Sn(Eq)% = Sn% x 1 + WO3% x 1.43 + Cu% x 0.40. WO3(EQ)% = Sn% x 0.7 + WO3 + Cu% x 0.28. Commodity price assumptions: WO3 US$ 33,000/t, Sn US$ 22,000/t, Cu US$ 7,000/t. Recovery assumptions: total WO3 recovery 72%, total Sn recovery 68% & total Cu recovery 85% and payability assumptions of 81%, 90% and 90% respectively
