Mine Life5.5 years (as of Jan 1, 2023)
Kal East has approvals in place and the primary processing facility equipment has already been acquired. Once constructed, the processing facility would have significant strategic value in the mill constrained area east of Kalgoorlie.

Included in the Kal East are the following deposits:
• Bulong Mining Centre: Myhree (open pit), Boundary (open pit); and
• Mt Monger Mining Centre: Majestic (underground), Jones Find (open pit), Crown (open pit), Fingals Fortune (open pit), Fingals East (open pit).

Black Cat is currently focussed on a low capital restart at Paulsens. Once Paulsens is operating at steady state, the Company will sequentially develop its other regionally strategic processing facilities at Coyote and Kal East.

Summary:

Myhree, Boundary, Jones Find, Fingals East deposites: The style of mineralisation is Archaean orogenic gold.

Myhree Mining Centre
Myhree (open pit)
A well-developed laterite zone, up to 25m thick, sits above the local sequence which consists of (from footwall to hangingwall): komatiitic ultramafic, interlayered dolerite and volcaniclastic sediments (with variable black shale lenses), komatiitic ultramafic, and then into polymictic conglomerate with intruded dolerite lenses.

The footwall of Myhree is characterised by a zone of heavy chlorite alteration within the footwall ultramafic, generally following the trend of the ultramafic-diorite contract. Abutting the chlorite alteration is a package of highly silicified rocks generally consisting of the diorite and volcaniclastic sediments. The silicification can however cross into the footwall ultramafic, producing a bleached and highly competent rock. Above the silicified zone, the hangingwall ultramafic is characterised by talc-carbonate alteration. Finally, the conglomerate also appears to be highly silicified.

The main orientations are NW-SE dipping north and north-south dipping west. Mineralisation terminates on a bounding NS fault, with no mineralisation observed on the eastern side. Both structures have no evidence in the drilling of a reduction in competency.

Boundary (open pit)
The Boundary deposit is hosted within NNE trending, west dipping units of altered u ........

Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader
  • Longhole open stoping

Summary:

Included in the Study are the following deposits:
• Myhree Mining Centre: Myhree (open pit), Boundary (open pit)
• Majestic Mining Centre: Majestic (underground), Jones Find (open pit), Crown (open pit)
• Fingals Mining Centre: Fingals Fortune (open pit), Fingals East (open pit)

The production profiles and mining sequences may change in future studies as the deposits are subject to ongoing infill and extensional drilling. For example, the large Fingals Fortune deposit remains open in all directions and at depth. In addition, there has been a focus on open pits with some deposits (eg Myhree and Fingals Fortune) potentially amenable to underground mining.

Open pit and underground mining being undertaken by mining contractors. Overall project implementation and management by a Black Cat owner’s team.

Open Pit
The mining method selected was top-down conventional drill-blast-load-haul with design parameters based on machinery capabilities and geotechnical recommendations. A undiluted minimum mining width (MMW) of 2.0m was applied, including unplanned dilution of 0.5m on both the hangingwall and footwall contact. The grade of this dilution material was determined based on the contained Resource. Mining recoveries of 95% were applied to account for loss during mining.

Load and haul production was scheduled based on the capabilities of 200t and 120t excavators, 90t rigid trucks mining 2.5m flitch heights, with cons ........
