Recommissioning of the third mill has commenced, and the mill is expected to be operational by the end of 2019. The increased processing capacity will allow Resolute to process greater volumes of the low-grade material stockpiled during previous open pit operations at Sarsfield. Available stockpiled material currently includes an Inferred Mineral Resource of 32.6 million tonnes (Mt) at 0.4 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) for 390,000oz.
Beneficiation, via a combination of contract crushing and screening and owner-operated facilities, will result in an uplift in head grades to 0.5-0.6g/t Au, and annual production to approximately 80,000oz, with the All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) expected to be approximately A$1,600/oz from the end of 2019
