Metallurgical Process Flow
The process plant is a conventional CIL process
with an up-front gravity section to extract the
free gold. The plant has a current throughput of
260,000 tonnes per month (3.12 million tonnes per
annum).

Plant Expansion
  • Increase resource utilisation
  • Assist in the treatment of the TSF Mineral
    Resource
  • Increase current revenues
  • Treatable volume of low grade ore and marginal
    material increases towards end of LOM (fixed
    costs spread over greater volume)
  • Increase to 350,000 tonnes per month
  • Additional 4 Leach/CIL Tanks
  • Secondary Crushing Circuit
  • Cyanide Wash Thickener
  • Financial impacts
  • Total US 8.9 million (Turn-key Project)
  • Using US 350/oz in Constant Gold Price Model
  • Cash Flow increase is US 31 million
  • Improvement in NPV
  • Not very sensitive to gold
