Metallurgical Development Unlocks Tin System at Doradilla

SKY Managing Director, Oliver Davies, said: “We’ve always been aware of the potential for the Doradilla Project to host an extensive tin system, however our ability to progress this asset has been hindered by our ability to unlock the tin through a viable metallurgical processing route. Now, through the application of a combination of gravity, magnetic and new flotation process steps, we have achieved economic recoveries of up to 78% tin.

“This is an exciting and very significant breakthrough which transforms the potential and outlook for this project. While our primary focus remains squarely on the Tallebung Tin Project, where we are in the midst of a major resource expansion drilling campaign, Doradilla is clearly shaping up as a sizeable and very attractive pipeline development asset.

“Importantly, it is a complementary development opportunity from both a commodity and geographic perspective, also being located NSW. We now see the potential for Doradilla to emerge as a second tin production hub for SKY in north-western NSW, strengthening our growth profile and adding an important new dimension to our asset base”
