Broken Hill Mines (ASX:BHM): Exceptional Silver Grades Strengthen Pinnacles Mine Outlook

Broken Hill Mines (ASX:BHM) has reported another round of exceptional silver-lead-zinc intercepts from its ongoing drilling program at the Pinnacles Mine, including up to 1,562g/t silver equivalent and 56.4% zinc equivalent. 

Results from the Junction, Rope Shaft, and Consols South areas confirm both continuity and grade across multiple high-value zones, while identifying broad copper and gold mineralisation that enhances the project’s long-term potential.

 

📌 Why It Matters:

These results further support BHM’s strategy to fast-track near-term open-pit mining at Pinnacles, leveraging the existing Rasp Mine processing plant located only 15km away.

The discovery of widespread shallow gold and copper zones alongside rich silver-lead-zinc mineralisation strengthens the potential for multi-metal revenue streams.

With more than 75% of assays still pending, this update underscores significant resource expansion potential ahead of a planned Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update in 1H CY2026.



📌 Investor Highlights:

  • Up to 56.4% ZnEq & 1,562g/t AgEq from 57m (BPD0038) in the Junction area.

  • Broad mineralised intervals including 23.1m @ 1.1g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from 63.5m.

  • High-grade continuity confirmed across Junction, Rope Shaft, and Consols South zones.

  • Phase 1 program expanded to ~6,000m of drilling, on track for completion in Q4 CY2025.
