According to the company, the maiden indicated resource, located in the Viago and Deacon Main resource areas, comprises a high-grade mineralisation core of 860,000 ounces (oz) at 11.6 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold. This was estimated by mining consultant Entech.
Bellevue is expecting a further increase in the indicated resource in the December quarter, with stage two infill drilling standing at 2.3 million ounces (Moz) at 10g/t of gold.
Bellevue managing director Steve Parsons said: “This Indicated Resource and the increases to come will underpin the economic studies on the project, which are now well underway.
“Completion of these studies will mark the transition to the project development phase, which we believe will demonstrate the technical and economic strengths which come from having a large, high-grade project with simple metallurgy and access to existing infrastructure in a Tier-1 location.
