Tin › Mt Bischoff
The project is situated approximately 80km north of Renison. Mt Bischoff will be integrated into the Renison Project and will provide the ore feed to enable the Renison Tin Concentrator to operate at full capacity in the ensuing three years while additional development and production capacity from the Renison Bell Mine is implemented. Mt Bischoff contains a moderately sized open pit resource and an advanced exploration project with considerable potential for additional tin discovery and mining.
Current mining reserve estimates (June 30, 2006) are 742,000t at 1.23% Sn within a larger resource base of 1,903,000t at 0.96% Sn
Mt Bischoff Location
The project is currently awaiting statutory approvals before mining can commence. Mt Bischoff ore will be trucked to the Renison Tin Concentrator to be blended with feedstock from the Renison Bell Mine. This process enables the Company to fulfill another of the primary objectives of its Tasmanian Tin Strategy in filling the Renison Tin Concentrator to full capacity and allowing economies of scale and fixed cost mitigation to occur over the consolidated projects.
