Antilles Gold Limited (ASX:AAU)

Retraction of Forecast Financial Information Plus Announcement on New Metallurgical Testwork Results

Antilles Gold Limited (“Antilles Gold” or the “Company”) (ASX Code: AAU, OTCQB: ANTMF) advises that an announcement lodged with ASX at 9:18am AEDT on 8 October 2024 included statements relating to antimony production targets that are non- compliant under listing rules 5.16, 5.17, and 5.19, and included forecast financial information derived from a production target.


By this announcement the Company hereby retracts the first two pages of the earlier announcement and the included non-compliant statements and forecasts, and advises investors not to make any investment decision based on this information.

The Company is also announcing new test work results for the proposed La Demajagua gold-silver-antimony open-pit mine in Cuba.

NEW METALLURGICAL TESTWORK RESULTS FOR LA DEMAJAGUA PROJECT

  • The attached Memorandum dated 2 October 2024 from Vancouver based consultants, JJ Metallurgical Services Inc, summarises past testwork results, and those recently received from Chinese engineering group, BGRIMM Technologies.
  • Importantly, BGRIMM has indicated that leaching of the gold-arsenopyrite concentrate expected to be produced by the proposed La Demajagua gold-silver- antimony mine would recover 77.9% antimony from the concentrate and produce an antimony precipitate which contains 48% antimony content. Based on the test work data, it is expected that the production of 3,982tpa of a precipitate with 48% Sb (containing 1,911tpa antimony) will be realized from the 50,025 tpa gold-arsenopyrite concentrate containing 4.9% antimony.
  • It is intended that the antimony precipitate will be blended with 5,558tpa of gold- silver-antimony concentrate grading 49.1g/t Au, 2,022g/t Ag, and 46.2% Sb (containing 2,568tpa antimony) that the consultant expects to be produced by reverse flotation of the La Demajagua ore at a mill throughput of 815,000 tpa containing 2.47 g/t gold, 26.2 g/t silver, 1.58% sulphur and 0.635% antimony. (Refer Scoping Study dated 30 March 2023 – all material assumptions underpinning this production target continue to apply and have not materially changed, in accordance with Listing Rule 5.19.)
  • Testwork is continuing with specialists in Canada on the methodology of stabilising arsenic which would be generated if a concentrate roasting processing facility is added to the project, as is proposed, to produce a gold dore which would be much more valuable than the arsenic gold concentrate.
  • When this information has been received, together with BGRIMM’s capital and operating cost estimates for the processing facility, a new Scoping Study will be undertaken for the expanded project, and is expected to demonstrate robust returns at conservative metal prices

COMMENT

Antilles Chairman, Brian Johnson said: “with improved supply-demand dynamics for antimony and a strengthening price environment, we are now rapidly advancing project development studies with the assistance of BGRIMM Technology Group and our Technical Consultants, and we look forward to delivering the Scoping Study for an expanded operation at La Demajagua. We are also engaging with a wider cohort of potential antimony buyers given the stronger demand and price environment for the strategic metal.”

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
