Kanmantoo -- Tailings Processing Agreement with HGO.
Kanmantoo is HVY's near-term production pathway. A
processing agreement with Hillgrove Resources Ltd (ASX: HGO)
provides HVY access to the active Kanmantoo copper-mine tailings stream
and existing tailings storage facility in South Australia.
Production target
- Initial target: 50 ktpa Garnet first production Q4 2026.
- Modular scalability to 100 ktpa, subject to funding tier.
- Operating under HGO's existing PEPR / water / heritage / ML envelope via the Tailings Processing Agreement.
Infrastructure and logistics
The Kanmantoo site sits approximately 55 km east of Adelaide on the
South Eastern Freeway, with the Adelaide -- Melbourne main rail
corridor, grid power and Port Adelaide bulk-export access all
established for HGO's copper operation. Garnet product will move
by sealed road to Port Adelaide for export, leveraging existing
industrial logistics rather than greenfield infrastructure.
