Highlights
重要提示
Heads of Agreement signed for the proposed supply (under an Off-take Agreement) of 15 tonnes of scandium oxide at 99.9% purity
就有关供应（根据承购协议）15 吨纯度为 99.9%的氧化钪签订合作
意向书
Platina and Honfine to also finalise a Supply, Technology, Processing and Marketing Agreement
普拉提纳与弘丰将敲定供应、技术、加工及营销协议
Negotiations with Honfine represent a breakthrough for Platina to commence early production from Company’s Owendale scandium resource
与弘丰的谈判意味着普拉提納对公司欧文代尔钪资源开展早期生产
的突破
Final binding Agreements to be signed within three months
三个月内签订最终的具有约束力的协议 Platina Resources Ltd (ASX: PGM) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Heads of Agreement (HoA) with Chinese manufacturer Inner Mongolia Honfine Zirconium Industry Co Ltd (Honfine) to negotiate both an Off-take Agreement and a Supply, Technology, Processing and Marketing Agreement for the Company’s Owendale Scandium Project in central New South Wales, Australia (refer Figure 1).
普拉提納资源有限公司（澳大利亚证劵交易所代码：PGM）很高兴宣布，本公司与中
国制造商内蒙古弘丰锆业有限公司（弘丰）就公司位于澳大利亚新南威尔士州中部的
欧文代尔钪项目（参照图 1），于接下来三个月内商讨承购协议以及供应、技术、加工
及营销协议签订合作意向书（合作意向书）。
Under the terms of the HoA, Platina and Honfine will negotiate an Off-take Agreement for the supply of 15 tonnes of scandium oxide at a 99.9% purity grade
and at a commercially acceptable price. Whilst pricing and other terms are yet to be agreed, Platina notes that within the past four years scandium oxide (99.9% purity) has sold within a range of USD$1,400-3,700 per kg1.
根据合作意向书约定，普拉提納与弘丰将就以合适的商业价格供应 15 吨纯度品位为
99.9%氧化钪进行商谈。价格以及其他条款有待协商的同时，普拉提納了解在过去四年
时间里，氧化钪（纯度为 99.9%）以每公斤 1400 至 3700 美元的价格幅度内进行交易1。
Under the HOA, the stated intention is that Platina and Honfine will aim to finalise and execute a binding Off-take Agreement and a binding Supply, Technology, Processing and Marketing Agreement within the next three months.
根据合作意向书，双方有意在接下来的三个月时间里，普拉提納与弘丰有意敲定并执
行有约束力的承购协议以及有约束力的供应、技术、加工及营销协议。
In addition, both companies will evaluate the viability of transporting scandium concentrates grading 1000ppm Sc or higher from Australia to China to be processed at Honfine’s factory located in Inner Mongolia and marketed throughout China and the world. Currently, Platina is working on a metallurgical test work program to produce high grade scandium concentrate from the Owendale Project. This potential flowsheet for scandium concentrate could significantly reduce capex and opex. Platina and Honfine also intend to collaborate on establishing the cheapest processing technology required to produce the desired scandium products from Owendale ore.
此外，双方公司将评估从澳大利亚向中国运输品位为 1000ppm 或更高品位的钪精矿
砂，并于弘丰位于内蒙古的工厂进行加工并在中国乃至世界范围内进行营销的可行
性。目前，普拉提納正在进行从欧文代尔项目中生产高品位钪精矿的冶金测试工作。
该潜在的生产钪精矿的工艺流程可以大大降低投资成本及运营成本。普拉提納与弘丰
有意就确立最便宜的用于从欧文代尔矿中生产钪相关产品的加工技术进行合作。
Owendale is the highest grade laterite-hosted scandium resource discovered globally, and offers a stable and potentially large tonnage scandium production. Current world consumption of scandium is approximately 8 tonnes per annum however, research and development activities in recent years indicates significant demand for scandium in the aerospace industry and fuel cell technology.
欧文代尔是发现的世界上品位最高的蕴含在红土中的钪资源，将提供稳定及潜力巨大
的大吨位钪产品。目前世界上每年钪的消耗量大约为 8 吨，然而，近些年来的研究与
发展活动表明，钪应用于航天航空工业以及燃料电池技术的需求显著。
The potential for Platina to export a moderately upgraded concentrate from Owendale for further processing in China (1000ppm Sc in concentrate compared to a head grade of 384ppm Sc) presents a potential breakthrough to advance Owendale to low-cost early production.
普拉提納从欧文代尔向中国输出适度提升的钪精矿砂（原矿品位为 384 ppm 钪浓缩为
1000 ppm 钪精矿）并在中国进行深加工的潜力，意味着欧文代尔低成本前期生产的潜
在突破。
Platina Managing Director Rob Mosig said, “The HoA with Honfine heralds a milestone in the commencement of a scandium production industry. We look forward to making further announcements regarding advancing the Off-take and Supply, Technology, Processing and Marketing Agreements as soon as possible.”
普拉提納董事总经理指出：“与弘丰的合作意向书预示着钪行业生产开端的里程碑。
我们期望尽快进一步就推进承购协议以及供应、技术、加工及营销协议发表进一步公
告。”
The Owendale Project hosts an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 24 million tonnes of scandium grading 384ppm Sc (at a cut-off of 300ppm Sc) and contains a total in-situ content of 9,100 tonnes of scandium metal (JORC 2012). Details of the resource are in the technical description of the Company’s ASX release dated 3 October 20132.
欧文代尔项目蕴含控制及推断的钪资源为 2400 万吨，品位为 384 ppm 钪（边界品位
300 ppm 钪），并蕴含原位含量为 9100 吨钪金属（JORC 报告 2012）。有关资源的
详细信息在公司于 2013 年 10 月 3 日澳大利亚证卷交易所公告的技术说明里 2。

Owendale Platinum and Scandium Project
欧文代尔铂和钪项目
The resource estimations1 for the Owendale Platinum and Scandium Project give a total contained metal of 519,000oz platinum and 9,100 tonnes of scandium. It represents Australia’s newest platinum resource and the world’s largest and most high-grade scandium deposit.
欧文代尔铂和钪项目评估的资源 1总含量为 51.9 万盎司铂和 9100 吨钪。它代表了澳大利亚
最新的铂资源以及世界上最大、品位最高的钪矿床。
Platina Resources’ Owendale Project is located in central New South Wales, approximately 75km NW of Parkes, and 45km NE of Condobolin. Owendale is also located 12km north of the Fifield Deep Lead, Australia’s only historical platinum mine.
普拉提納资源的欧文代尔项目位于南威尔士州中部，位于帕克斯西北大约 75 公里，以及康
多波林东北约 45 公里处。欧文代尔同时位于 Fifield 地下砂矿床，澳大利亚历史上唯一的铂
矿藏以北 12 公里处。
The platinum and scandium resources overlap and are contained within the laterite profile that begins at surface and extends to a maximum depth of approximately 50m.
铂和钪资源彼此重叠分布，两种元素都包含在风化的红土中，由地表延伸到地下不超过约
50 米的深度。
It is the Company’s intention to fast track the development of the Owendale platinum and scandium resources as soon as practicable. It is the Company’s belief that Owendale has the potential to become Australia’s sole platinum mine, with the added upside of coincidentally being the world’s largest, highest grade scandium resource. Advances in the processing of scandium could unlock the potential for the metal to contribute significantly toward project economics.
