Might be due an update soon.
The Company has implemented cost savings of approximately 25% in the production costs, mainly by decreasing crushing size and reducing grind sizing, decreasing the use of cyanide and consumption of carbon as well as reducing the amount of elutions from once per day to twice per week, resulting in an increase in gold recoveries from 78% to 84.3%.
The changes in crushing have also resulted in an increase in throughput through the plant from 800 tonnes per day to 950 tonnes per day.
Gold production has increase from an average of 622 oz per month from January – March 2024 to 805oz in April and 933oz in May with further improvements ongoing that will realise further gains in gold production.
The mine is re-commissioning two mills this week ( 4th June 2024) to commence the reprocessing of tailings in tandem with ore production to enable further increases in gold and silver production in June as a result of test work that yielded high recoveries from the tailings.
