About Rathdowney and Project Olza

Rathdowney Resources Ltd. is focused on advancing its Olza Zinc-Lead-Silver Project in Poland.

Project Olza is in the Upper Silesian Mining District, a world-class region of Mississippi Valley-type deposits with well-developed mining infrastructure. Easily accessible by road, the Olza project site is a one-hour drive from Krakow, a major city with full services, including an international airport. The deposits at Olza are 25 km from the ZGH zinc smelter at Boleslaw. A railway line runs through the Olza project-area, linking it to the local facilities and to other smelters through ports on the Baltic Sea.

A Preliminary Economic Assessment, announced in early 2015 indicates strong potential financial returns for a 6,000 tpd underground operation and conventional treatment facility, producing marketable zinc and lead concentrates^[1]. Since that time, the Company has progressed the project with additional core drilling for geotechnical and resource information; extensive geological interpretation, project design engineering; extensive multi-year hydrology studies; plant evaluations; infrastructure assessment (power, roads, etc.); studies of the existing community setting and local socioeconomic fabric; and extensive multi-year environmental and land use planning and zoning assessments to prepare the project for permitting and to advance toward a mining license.
