Heavy Minerals Ltd (ASX:HVY) Share Price & Analysis

Heavy Minerals Limited is an Australian-based industrial minerals company focused on developing high-quality garnet mineral resources in Western Australia. The company began trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in September 2021 and has strategically positioned itself in the industrial minerals sector with two key projects: the Port Gregory and Red Hill Garnet Projects. These projects are located in Western Australia and are considered among the highest quality garnet resources globally, strategically bordering existing successful garnet mining operations.

The Port Gregory Project represents a significant asset for Heavy Minerals, with a JORC Compliant Mineral Resource estimate of 166 million tonnes at 4.0% total heavy minerals (THM), containing 5.9 million tonnes of garnet. A recent scoping study has demonstrated the project’s potential for a 16-year mine life, with a net present value of $253 million and an estimated capital cost of $110 million. This project is particularly promising due to its proximity to established garnet mines operated by GMA Garnet Group and Resource Development Group.

In addition to its Australian projects, Heavy Minerals has expanded its portfolio internationally by owning 70% of the Inhambane Mineral Sands Project in Mozambique. This project boasts a JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 90 million tonnes at 3.0% THM and is strategically located adjacent to mineral sands projects owned by major mining companies Rio Tinto and Savannah Resources. The Red Hill Garnet Project further complements the company’s portfolio, with an exploration target ranging from 90 to 150 million tonnes of material and potential garnet resources between 3.8 and 4.5 million tonnes.
