The ore deposits at RASP Mine are hosted by a sequence of Proterozoic meta-sedimentary rocks.The Rasp Mine contains two ore Ag-Pb-Zn sulphide bodies, being the Western Mineralisation and the high-grade Main Lode.Mining operations are primarily focused on the extraction of the Western Mineralisation (WM), combined with lesser quantities of high grade remnants of 2 and 3 Lens, and Zinc Lodes that are associated with the original Main Lode.The original unmined WM contained a global resource of approximately 15Mt at a combined PbZn grade of 6.0%. However, mining operations are focused on extraction of areas of higher grade material.The WM extends from approximately 100m below the surface to a depth of near 900m, where the deposit terminates against the Globe Vauxhall Shear. Mineralisation identified below this structure is associated with the Centenary Deposit which still remains open at depth.
