Up to 700t a day of mineralised material can be produced from this mine.
Sage Gold president and CEO Nigel Lees said: “This change of project status is a very significant development for Sage and, together with the recently announced agreement to acquire Kirkland Lake Gold Inc's remaining 40% minority interest in Clavos, is a major milestone towards completing the previously announced financing package of $11.5m to fund the restart of Clavos.
“We expect to close the equity portion of $1.85m in early November followed by the gold prepayment funding of $9.65m by the end of November.”
