2. Commonwealth, NSW (IPT: 100%)
•
Large strategic ground holding of 902 sq km close to recent Boda discovery
and large copper-gold deposits of the Lachlan Fold Belt.
•
Potential for giant copper-gold deposits like Cadia (>40 Moz Au, >10 Mt Cu)
and VMS deposits like Eskay Creek (4 million oz Au, 180 million oz Ag)
•
IP survey in progress. Numerous targets and follow up drilling required
including at the Commonwealth resource

Other Projects (IPT 100%)
•
Arkun, WA: Large strategic ground holding of 2,000 sq km in the emerging
Ni-Cu-PGE Province. Surrounded by Anglo American Corporation.
•
Blackridge, QLD: 150 sq km covering majority >300,000 ounce gold field.

Record Palladium (and Rhodium) Prices: 9 years of deficit
85% used in exhaust systems.
Increased demand in hybrid
vehicles (where are the EV’s?).
Supply not increasing to meet
demand as it is mostly a by product
of platinum mining which has
struggled.

Broken Hill Project Overview
1. Major land position of 815 sq km in one of
Australia’s most prolific mining belts
2. Highest drill hole PGM grades in Australia
including rare PGM’s Rh, Os, Ru and Ir.
3. Multiple targets for nickel-copper-PGM deposits
Red Hill: lmpact discovery of very high grade
PGE’s.
Platinum Springs: high grade magmatic nickelcopper-PGE sulphide.
Moorkai: High grade rock chip samples over
9 km trend.
Rockwell-Little Broken Hill Trend: poorly
explored intrusion similar to Jinchuan and
Voiseys Bay.
4. Potential for million ounce PGM discovery
5. Significant zinc-lead-silver potential

Key Messages from the Geochemistry: alkaline rocks

Impact Minerals – Investor Presentation
KDC2
A new geodynamic setting for Broken Hill at c.800Ma
•
Nickel-copper-PGE bearing intrusions related to
the break up of the supercontinent Rodinia about
800 million years ago.
•
Break up is related to a mantle plume head
(red circle) responsible for the breakup of
Rodinia which formed the Jinchuan and
Lengshuiqing Ni-Cu-Co-PGM deposits.
•
Broken Hill was located in the same region at the
time and so has the geological setting to host
major Ni-Cu-PGM deposits.
Jinchuan: >500Mt at 1.2% Ni 0.7% Cu 0.4 g/t PGM

Impact Minerals – Investor Presentation
A New MINERAL SYSTEM Model for Broken Hill
• PGE-Ni- Au-Cu likely transported by upwelling plume-generated alkaline
magmas originating from the core-mantle boundary at 820 Ma during
break up of Rodinia.
• The core-mantle boundary zone is enriched in this assemblage of metals
that are anomalously concentrated in the Broken Hill district
• An alkaline model may also explain the metal endowment for zinc-leadsilver: Plimer 1985 “The Broken Hill orebody has the gross composition of
a carbonatite”.
• The model has geodynamic support as the fragmentation and dispersal of
the supercontinent Columbia also occurred at ~1600 to ~1650 Ma, the
inferred age of the Broken Hill mineral system.
• Understanding the mineral system clearly has important implications for
exploration in the district
