SnapshotThe Group undertook a strategic review of Granville in September 2019 in order to determine the most economically efficient means of extracting value from the project. Post the strategic review, it was decided to place Granville on care and maintenance until a suitable mine fleet is available and additional equipment is installed at the plant. The Group has assessed and considered it prudent to maintain the provision for impairment against the Ore stockpiles and Tin in tailings recognised in the prior periods.

Aus Tin Mining is maintaining these properties in good standing in a care-and-maintenance state as it fields enquiries from parties potentially willing to acquire the assets.

Deposit type

  • Skarn

Summary:

The deposit is hosted in metamorphosed Neo- Proterazoic black carbonaceous shale and calcareous quartzite of the Oonah formation overlaid by Tertiary conglomerate, gravel and grit and subsequent Quaternary stream alluvium and swamp and marsh deposits. Mineralization occurs in the horizon of scarts with a magnetite strip associated with the layers, and tin is found as a supergene at a late stage, a low-temperature formation, that is, post-dating of skarn formation, and also (in the form of silicate) released during serpentinization. The horizon of the mineralized skarn extends approximately 50 meters long (north-south) and 15 meters wide (east-west).
