"Perilya has brought a new lease of life to the historic Broken Hill mine over the last nine years, increasing production and extending its life to more than 10 years based on existing reserves."   Paul Arndt - Managing Director & CEO 

As one of Australia's largest base metal miners, Perilya owns and operates the iconic Broken Hill zinc, lead and silver mine in New South Wales, Australia and the Beltana high grade zinc mine in South Australia. 

 

Perilya is investing substantially in the development of its three major projects located at the Broken Hill, Flinders and Mt Isa regions as well as exploration in the surrounding tenements.

The company is expanding its operations at the iconic Broken Hill mine through the development at Potosi, assessing the North Mine and conducting exploration within a 10 kilometre radius of the concentrator.

Since 2007 Perilya has successfully mined, stockpiled and has exported over 100,000 tonnes of contained zinc in the form of high grade zinc silicate (oxide) ore at the Beltana deposit located in the Flinders project in South Australia.

It is currently conducting a exploration and feasibility studies into similar projects in the region. The high grade nature of the ore obviates the need for metallurgical processing enabling direct shipment to smelters.

The company is also targetting early development of its Mount Oxide copper project in the Mt Isa region in Queensland.

Perilya has a strong balance sheet with low debt levels and is actively seeking growth opportunities.

Perilya's exploration and development interests include projects throughout Australia and in the state of Sabah in Malaysia.

The company's Resources and Reserves statement is available in the Annual Report.
