RE: RNS Mill production Dec-2430 Oct 2024 07:50
well bh is as good as his word albeit getting here has taken way longer than anyone expected waiting for the licences to operate to be granted. so what can we expect? as per rns
all equipment on site for pilot production by gravity separation
• pilot production will process initial batches of tailings brought from the omco mine site at
the olympic gold project
• when production has been established, a rod mill for crushing larger grades will be moved
into place, initially from a stockpile of mined ore at omco, and this will be crushed and
processed through the system
• first production in early december is anticipated by the operating partner
• the mill site has been constructed on a scale which will allow for planned chemical
leaching in a second phase
• a walk-through introduction to the mill site together with recent drone footage is
available on the company’s website
as a reminder gwmo has various historic stockpiles of tailings containing gold/silver as follows:
established an inferred resource estimate of 31,000 tonnes grading 1.6 g/t gold and 3.0 g/t silver in tailings associated with the omco mine at the olympic gold project.
additionally, exploration targets have been independently reported as follows:
· 3,400 - 6,400 tonnes grading between 0.5 and 1.2 g/t au and 1.2 and 2.1 g/t ag in the substrate beneath the tailings volume at the olympic mine.
· 9,000 - 12,000 tonnes grading between 0.9 and 2.4 g/t au and 2.0 and 5.1 g/t ag in a co**** stockpile at olympic mine.
· 4,200 - 7,700 tonnes grading between 40 and 140 g/t ag and 0.3 and 0.3 g/t au in spoil heaps at mineral jackpot.
