Committed to developing itself as a prominent Australian minerals producer, our client is undertaking aggressive growth through the development of new and existing projects on a national level. As a key mid-tier mining company with a talented board backed by an experienced management team and high calibre employees, the Company possesses a portfolio of producing operations, advanced exploration targets and development prospects.
The Operation
The operation has a long operating history and extensive gold production record; this project will be a cornerstone in the company portfolio possessing current resources totalling over 6 million ounces and reserves in excess of 1.6Moz.
The development of a new decline to reach the top of the ore at 1000m is on schedule. Target depth is expected to be reached in the June quarter and pre-production and trial mining will follow. Plant refurbishment and recommissioning is underway and expected to run until July 2008.
Ore is planned to be extracted from both underground and open pit resources with the initial expected production rate of 600ktpa from underground. A comprehensive resource drilling campaign is being carried out with expected target generation to extend mine life beyond the current 12 years.
