Summary
Tivan Limited announced that SRK Consulting had completed an updated JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Speewah Fluorite Project in Western Australia, materially upgrading the project’s confidence level by shifting most of the resource into the Indicated category following about 14km of stage two drilling completed in October 2026 to support the Definitive Feasibility Study; the updated estimate reports a total Indicated and Inferred Resource of 45.0 million tonnes at 7.8% CaF2 at a 2% cut-off, containing 3.5 million tonnes of CaF2, including a high-grade component of 8.6 million tonnes at 22.3% CaF2 at a 10% cut-off containing 1.9 million tonnes of CaF2, with total tonnage up 4% on the February 2026 estimate while grade and contained fluorite remained broadly similar, and with Indicated tonnes rising 37% to 37.9 million tonnes; Tivan said the upgrade strengthens the geological basis for mine planning, Ore Reserve estimation and project development, with the DFS focused on an open pit mining and processing operation producing acidgrade fluorspar above 97% CaF2 for export, while infill drilling returned strong intercepts such as 76m at 21.6% CaF2 from surface, 61.2m at 18.1% from surface, 59m at 14.9% from 100m, and 39.6m at 18.6% from surface, and the company also highlighted additional exploration upside at Southern Veins and Dingo Vein as it advances toward a final investment decision for what it described as Australia’s first fluorite project.
Key Points
  • SRK Consulting completed an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Tivan’s Speewah Fluorite Project.
  • The updated JORC 2012 Mineral Resource totals 45.0 million tonnes at 7.8% CaF2 at a 2% cut-off grade.
  • The resource contains 3.5 million tonnes of CaF2.
  • A high-grade component of 8.6 million tonnes at 22.3% CaF2 at a 10% cut-off contains 1.9 million tonnes of CaF2.
  • Most of the Speewah resource has been upgraded to the Indicated category.
  • Indicated Resource tonnage increased by 37% to 37.9 million tonnes compared with the February 2026 estimate.
  • Total resource tonnage increased by 4% versus the previous February 2026 MRE.
  • The upgrade followed about 14,025 metres of stage two drilling completed between May and October 2026.
  • Infill drilling was aimed at supporting the MRE update and a maiden Ore Reserve estimate for the DFS.
  • Significant infill drilling results included 76m at 21.6% CaF2 from 0m in hole SF26_RCRD040.
  • Significant infill drilling results included 61.2m at 18.1% CaF2 from 0m in hole SF26_DDRD003.
  • Significant infill drilling results included 59m at 14.9% CaF2 from 100m in hole SF26_RCRD012.
  • Significant infill drilling results included 39.6m at 18.6% CaF2 from 0m in hole SF26_DDRD002.
  • The Speewah project is being advanced through a Definitive Feasibility Study focused on producing acidgrade fluorspar above 97% CaF2.
  • Tivan said the Indicated classification is necessary for inclusion in Ore Reserve estimation.
  • The project is located in the Kimberley region of north-east Western Australia.
  • Tivan is developing the project in joint venture with Sumitomo Corporation and JOGMEC, with ETFS Capital Limited as a strategic partner.
  • The company sees further exploration upside at Southern Veins and Dingo Vein.
  • Tivan said the updated resource supports refined mine planning and production scheduling.
  • The announcement positions Speewah as one of the largest high-grade fluorite resources globally.
