Webbs Silver Project
New South Wales, Australia
Webbs is a high-grade polymetallic silver project in northern NSW, with a JORC 2012 resource and strong expansion potential across multiple shoots and untested surface and depth extensions.
Key metrics
- JORC 2012 Resource: 2.2Mt @ 205g/t AgEq (14.2Moz AgEq)
- Contained metals (reported): 140g/t Ag, 0.15% Cu, 0.55% Pb, 1.10% Zn
- Status: Brownfields resource with modern drill upside
- Growth thesis: extensions to North and South shoots + additional structures
Highlights
- Historic silver mine (Webbs North) with established mineralisation
- Two main shoots (North and South) plus subsidiary structures
- High-grade drilling includes:
- 9.6m @ 2,422g/t Ag (plus Zn/Pb/Cu credits) from 83m (Webbs South)
- 23m @ 1,533g/t AgEq from 150m (Webbs)
- New parallel silver lode identified ~120m west of the Main Lode; early drilling confirms silver-bearing sulphides and potential for additional parallel lodes.
Metallurgy
Metallurgical work has demonstrated favourable recoveries with the potential to produce a high-grade concentrate (refer ASX disclosures for full testwork parameters).
What’s next
- Step-out drilling to extend high-grade shoots along strike and at depth
- Target testing of outcropping mineralisation and under-drilled zones
- Resource growth initiatives as drilling delivers additional continuity
