Broken Hill Mines (ASX:BHM): Main Lode UG Completion and Exceptional Drilling Results

🔍 Demonstrated track record in acquiring, developing and operating world-class mature-life mines.


Broken Hill Mines is pleased to advise completion of underground development to access the high-grade silver-lead-zinc Main Lode ore body. This milestone is complemented by exceptional assay results from BHM drilling of the Blackwoods & British deposits of Main Lode, which are set to be mined first. 

 

📌 Why It Matters:

BHM is on track to deliver ore from Main Lode by November 2025. This new high grade feed source will supplement existing feed from the Western Mineralisation ore body, which has been the primary source of ore supply to the Rasp Mine processing plant for over a decade.  

The development of Main Lode, and future development of the Pinnacles ore body, are key initiatives of BHM's strategy to fully utilise its 750,000tpa capacity operational processing plant at Rasp.  


📌 Development & Drilling Highlights:

  • Completion of >1,000m of underground development work to access Main Lode 
  • First ore targeted by November 2025, following completion of ~20m in stoping drives 
  • Exceptional metal equivalent results received from BHM drilling of 63 holes in the Blackwoods & British deposits of Main Lode, highlighted by very high-grade silver assays, including several intercepts outside of the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)
