Sorby Hills to cost A$183m

A prefeasibility study (PFS) into the Sorby Hills lead/silver/zinc project, in Western Australia, has placed a price tag of A$183-million on the project.

The PFS estimated that the project could produce some 81 000 t/y of 62% lead/silver concentrate containing 50 000 t/y of recovered lead and 1.5-million ounces a year of recovered silver, across an initial ten-year mine life.
