Kasbah upgrades Western Zone Resource at Achmmach

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Kasbah Resources (ASX: KAS) has upgraded the Indicated Mineral Resource for the Western Zone (WZ) at the company’s Achmmach tin project in Morocco.

Extensional drilling at the Western Zone target at Achmmach has upgraded the Indicated Mineral Resource to 340,000 tonnes at 1.25 per cent tin for 4,200 tonnes contained tin.

This represents a 31.5 per cent increase in resource grade, a 53.8 per cent increase in Indicated tonnage and a 100 per cent increase in contained tin from the Resources estimate the company released in February.

Kasbah said the WZ tin mineralisation now covers 235 metres of the Sidi Addi Trend strike with multiple tin structures up to 8m wide.

It extends approximately 200m below surface and remains open along strike to the east and down dip.

According to Kasbah the WZ Resource is amenable to open-pit mining but geometry and economics are likely to favour underground extraction.

“An Indicated Resource Grade of 1.25 per cent tin is a fantastic result,” Kasbah Resources managing director Wayne Bramwell said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“Grade will always be king and the higher metallurgical recoveries achieved from Kasbah’s testwork makes the WZ an increasingly valuable early extraction target.

“Alongside other DFS enhancement opportunities, Kasbah can now integrate the WZ into the DFS base case and evaluate connecting the WZ with the planned Meknes Trend Central Decline.”
