KANMANTOO GARNET PROJECT
The Kanmantoo Garnet Project is located approximately 44 km southeast of Adelaide within the Mount Barker District Council area in the Adelaide Hills.
The Kanmantoo Garnet Project is located within Hillgrove Resources Kanmantoo Copper Gold Mine which is an active underground mine with its access portal located in the previously mined open pit. The Mine utilises the original processing plant and tailings storage facility used for the mining of the open pit.
Heavy has executed a Binding Garnet Tailings Processing Agreement allowing Heavy to produce a Hard Rock Almendine Waterjet Garnet from the existing copper gold processing operations and Heavy has the right to process the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) when current Mining Operations cease.
Heavy has been allocated an area within the Kanmantoo Mines Processing Plant area and concentrate storage shed as shown below.

The Heavy’s Kanmantoo Garnet Project will receive live tailings from Hillgrove Resources Kanmantoo Underground Copper operation for the remainder of the estimated mine life before Heavy Minerals transitions to being the mine operator and processing the Tailings Storage Facility as shown below.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Heavy’s production must not exceed 50,000 tonnes of Waterjet Garnet per annum until such time as the processing capabilities of its plant are upgraded to 100,000 tonnes per annum. Global Waterjet demand is approximately 500,000 tonnes per annum.
