Tartana Resources Limited was incorporated on 6 August 2007 as Riverside Energy Ltd and changed its name to Tartana Resources Limited on 21 March 2017 following a successful demerger from its main coal assets and moving to re-focus on copper and zinc opportunities:
- the Tartana Copper and Zinc Project in northern Queensland;
- the Zeehan Zinc Slag Project in western Tasmania;
- the Mt Hess Copper-Gold Project in Queensland; and
- the Amber Creek Molybdenum-Tin-Tungsten Project in Queensland.
The first two projects have evidence of copper and/or zinc mineralisation identified by work carried out on each project by past owners.
In northern Queensland, the Tartana Project is our flagship project and comprises four mining leases being the Queen Grade Zinc Project, a Copper Oxide Project, a Copper Sulphide Project and the Valentino Copper-Gold-Silver-Cobalt Prospect. The tenement neighbouring the Tartana Project is the King Vol zinc mine which has been developed by Auctus Minerals Limited and financed by Denham Capital.
In Tasmania, our Zeehan Zinc Slag Project is an exciting project in the current high zinc price regime. The old Zeehan smelter site has two old slag heaps and 375 samples from these heaps taken by previous consultants recorded an average assay grade of 13.6% zinc. Tartana has been investigating a number of options for monetising this zinc and recently Nyrstar has requested a 5,000-tonne trial shipment to be sent to Nyrstar’s Port Pirie smelting operations in South Australia.
In Queensland, the company holds two smaller earlier stage exploration projects namely the Mt Hess Copper-Gold Project and the Amber Creek Molybdenum-Tin-Tungsten Project. Both have identified mineralisation within prospective tenements and our future modest exploration activities will be directed at determining whether there is scope to identify economic resources on these exploration tenements.
