NYRSTAR INCREASES RESOURCE AT GLOBEX’S MIDDLE TENNESSEE MINES ROYALTY PROPERTY
Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. has provided shareholders with a short update regarding its Middle Tennessee Mines royalty.
The Middle Tennessee Mines consists of three operating mines: Gordonsville, Elmwood and Cumberland, and one project, Stonewall, all operated by Nyrstar NV. Zinc mineralization occurs as what is known as Mississippi Valley type deposits. At the current zinc price, Globex retains a 1.4-per-cent gross metal royalty. Globex has received royalty payments totalling $1,008,171 in 2017 and $564,222 to date in 2018.
On March 22, 2018, Nyrstar issued a press release providing an update on operations, which commenced in May of 2017, and a new resource calculation. The press release stated the following:
“The operation achieved approximately 0.76 million tonnes mill throughput at an average grade of 3.12 per cent Zn to the end of 2017. Total ore reserves increased by 1.08 million tonnes and this increase is largely attributable to higher zinc prices and lower treatment charges, together with conversion of measured and indicated resources to ore reserves. In terms of resources, a total of 730,000 tonnes of measured and indicated resources was added, and this was due to discovery of extensions to mineralization and remodelling parts of the orebody.”
Reserve and resource figures were also published in the attached table.
