Queensland Minerals 2016 Appendix 1

Appendix 1 Summary reports for operating mines in Queensland The following section presents detailed information for each of Queensland’s significant operating mines. Mineral deposits are presented in alphabetic order. Each mineral deposit report contains information about the location, commodities, size classification, production, resources/reserves, mining styles, tenures, host rocks, mineral deposit models, mineralisation ages and other comments. The resource information recorded does not duplicate resources documented as reserves or under any other resource classification. For example, if a published ‘measured, indicated and inferred resource’ includes the ‘proved and probable ore reserves’, these reserves are not recorded. However, if published reserves are in addition to the published resources they are recorded separately. Open file information sources such as company annual reports, quarterly reports and stock exchange announcements have been used, where available, to ensure current information is captured. Most resource and reserve figures are in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC code), which is included as Appendix 9. Some older resource figures are not in accordance with the JORC code. Individual summary reports indicate whether or not the resource and reserve figures are JORC compliant. All sources used are referenced wherever possible.

Construction was completed by the end of 2004 and the plant was commissioned. Andoom ore is now mined and treated separately, increasing Comalco's capacity to meet customer requirements. Note that Andoom production and resources are reported in the figures for the Weipa Bauxite Mine. Prior to 2004, bauxite ore from Andoom was blended with ore from the Weipa mine to produce the final bauxitic product.

A JORC compliant resource estimate was calculated and baseline environmental studies and preliminary evaluation work have commenced. In July 2007, North Queensland Metals announced a probable ore reserve for the deposit. In May 2008, the company announced that the project will proceed to development. Drilling results announced in April 2007 included 4.05m at 8.5% Cu, 1.18% Sn, 224g/t Ag and 642g/t In from 36.85m, 7.4m at 3.36% Cu, 1,24% Sn, 97g/t Ag and 264g/t In from 39m, and 5m at 5.16% Cu, 0.21% Sn, 128g/t Ag and 337g/t In from 33m. The mine is expected to process 500 000t over a seven year mine life to produce ~20 000t of Cu-Sn-Ag-In concentrate per year. A review of the mine design in the June 2009 quarter indicated that a smaller higher grade pit is feasible. February 2011: Monto Minerals purchased the Baal Gammon deposit as part of a larger suite of tin prospective ground in North Queensland. In 2012 Monto Mins reported a larger than anticipated high grade zone identified within the Baal Gammon resource - 829kT @ 2.5% Cu, 96g/t Ag, 0.4% Sn & 96g/t In (BR9802). These results are based on Kagara 28 hole drilling programme concluded 30 Oct 2011. In September 2011 Kagara commenced open pit mining and are processing Baal Gammon ore at their nearby 500,000tpa Mt Garnet copper processing facility.
