Symbol Mining Limited announced it has recommenced its drilling programme at Macy and is on track with its commercialization strategy by seeking to transition into production, which subject to further feasibility studies, is anticipated in second quarter 2018. The company's Imperial project consists of three exploration leases spanning 510km2, with at least 30 highly prospective mineralised veins contained, including the first target - Macy. Maiden JORC Resource at Macy identified as 122,900t @ 21.9% Zn and 4.4% Pb (June 2017). The company's priority targets are to: 1. Complete the infill drill program to define the Macy deposit to increase the confidence in the ore body and to assess the economic viability of the Macy deposit to generate early cashflow; and 2. Conduct regional exploration of the tenements for the identification of additional deposits and mineralisation. Re-commencement of the drilling programme will seek to upgrade the Inferred JORC resource, further define the mine plan for feasibility studies and target additional mineralisation. The 1,000m RC infill drill program is located within the 250m of strike at Macy and is scheduled for completion in late January 2018. Once the infill program is completed, a 5,000m RC and diamond drilling programme will commence and will test at least 30 highly prospective shallow regional prospects as well as extensions to Macy. To date, drilling at Macy indicate that the mineralisation is very coarse grained with discrete veins of sphalerite and galena. The mineralisation is not disseminated and optical ore sorting will likely generate high grade zinc and lead concentrates for direct shipment to smelters. This is expected to have enormous implications for simple processing as conventional fine grinding and flotation is not planned thus minimising forecast capital costs and for simplicity of operations. The company is also currently upgrading the Imperial access road, campsite and infrastructure for the increased activities associated with the drilling programs and in preparation for the proposed mining activities, subject to the completion of the feasibility studies.
