Broken Hill Prospecting Ltd (ASX:BPL)

Broken Hill Prospecting Limited (BPL) is an Australian exploration company focussed on the discovery and development of strategic mineral resources across two primary geographical areas; the Murray Basin Region (Heavy Mineral Sands) and the Broken Hill Region (industrial, base and precious metals, including the Thackaringa Cobalt & Base/Precious Metal Project).

Murray Basin Region

BPL has built a substantial portfolio of Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS; titanium & zirconium) projects within the world-class Murray Basin. BPL’s Mineral Sands business model involves applying low capex/low opex mobile, modular mining technology to develop and operate multiple smaller mining operations across a broad project area.

Broken Hill Region

In 2018 BPL was granted three new exploration licences in the Broken Hill Region, significantly increasing its overall exposure to this world class mineral province and securing a number of under-explored base, precious and industrial mineral prospects. The new leases EL8773 (Main Line) and EL8775 (Broken Hill NW) apply to base, precious metals and industrial minerals (Groups 1, 2 & 5) whereas EL8776 (Triple Chance) covers industrial minerals only.  Initial work on EL8773 has involved detailed logging and re-assay of historical 1957 drill core from the Burtt & Cattersons prospect.

Thackaringa Cobalt Project JV

The Thackaringa Cobalt Project is strategically located 25km southwest of Broken Hill, New South Wales, adjacent to the main transcontinental railway line (Figures 1 & 2). Mineralised outcrop extends for over 10km, with less than a quarter of this trend having been drill tested. The project is currently undergoing Pre-feasibility Studies.
