Opportunity & Potential
- StanAurum stands at the precipice of the next boom in the metals market, ideally positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for tin, critical minerals, and clays.
- Tin, a critical component for electronic soldering, is poised for a surge in price due to a worldwide shortage in supply. This presents a lucrative opportunity.
- StanAurum is not just well-situated but also well-prepared, boasting pre-drilled tin resources with an exploration target harboring an impressive 3,000,000 Kgs of tin. This is just the beginning - mineralisation is abundant throughout the prospective zone and the project area at large.
- The potential for resource expansion is substantial, with 129,000 hectares playing host to 84 occurrences of gold, tin, critical metals, and kaolin clay.
- The region’s rich history in tin mining, which has yielded 80,000 tonnes of tin, with potential to locate further substantial mineralization, which lends credibility to its untapped potential.
- Tin mining is an environmentally friendly process that doesn't rely on harmful chemicals. This is due to tin's innate characteristics - it's safe, inert, and extensively used in food production.
- Tin's value extends beyond food production. It acts as the metaphorical glue holding together the electronic circuitry in a myriad of devices, especially electric vehicles. As the EV market continues to expand, so too will the demand for tin.
Company Structure
StanAurum Limited is a public unlisted company with seven subsidiaries:
Sugarloaf Critical Metals Pty Ltd - Tin, tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, rare earth, light metals, kaolin clay.
Ruby Creek Resources Pty Ltd - Tin, tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, rare earth, light metals, kaolin clay.
Severn Critical Metals Pty Ltd - Tin, tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, rare earth, light metals, kaolin clay.
Magnus Critical Metals Pty Ltd - Tin, tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth, rare earth, light metals, kaolin clay.
Pikes Gold Resources Pty Ltd - Gold, copper, silver, arsenic, alunite, rare earths, bismuth.
Loloma Gold Resources Pty Ltd - Gold, copper, silver, arsenic, alunite, rare earths, kaolin clay.
Hunters Hill Gold Resources Pty Ltd - Gold, copper, silver, arsenic, alunite, rare earths, tourmaline.
Potential Near and Medium-Term Production
Each of these sites represents a potential source of considerable revenue.
- Lode Creek Mine is a hard rock deposit with significant potential, hosting tin, clay, and rare earth elements. It has the potential to contain between 5 to 10 million tonnes of resource bearing material in addition to the 150,000 BCM of tin-tungsten bearing mullock dumps. In addition to the above resource, there is large areas of remnant old alluvial workings to be investigated.
- Preliminary estimates for Lode Creek suggest a value exceeding $200 per tonne of rock, based on current market prices for tin, tungsten, kaolin clay, and rare earth elements. However, this is pre-scoping and yet to be verified. Capital expenditure, operating expense scoping, and pre-feasibility studies will be conducted after listing.
- Arbouins Gully and Trollopes Hill are two promising target areas within large mineralized zones, spanning over 3,000 meters, known for tin, tungsten, and molybdenum deposits.
- Horrigans Gully is another long-term prospect with historically reported high-grade Tin deposits.
- Mineral Hill presents an additional opportunity for the extraction of tin, tungsten, and molybdenum.
- Similarly, Lord Nolans is a promising area, known for its tin, tungsten, and molybdenum deposits.
