Austral Resources Advances Rocklands Restart with Key Milestones Achieved
Austral Resources Australia Ltd (ASX: AR1) has reported significant progress on the restart of its Rocklands Copper Project, with refurbishment activities advancing on schedule and within budget. The company has secured an unused 4.75MW SAG mill, a critical component for the upgraded processing circuit, with delivery expected by late July 2026. Engineering assessments confirmed that existing ball milling, flotation, and concentrate handling facilities can support the planned processing capacity of 3 million tonnes per annum, reducing refurbishment costs and project risk.
To support the restart, Austral appointed GR Engineering Services to oversee engineering design and construction management, while Front End Engineering Design remains on track for completion in July 2026. Metallurgical test work is progressing using confirmatory drill core samples to optimise recovery and concentrate quality.
Meanwhile, mining operations at Flying Horse and Mt Clarke are supplying oxide ore to Mt Kelly while exposing future sulphide feed for Rocklands. The company believes its integrated mining and processing strategy will strengthen feed security and position Austral as a dual-stream copper producer capable of processing both oxide and sulphide ores.
