Production levels of the mine are progressing towards the medium term target of 100,000oz of gold per annum from a production throughput of one million tonnes of ore every 12 months within three years.
Most of the infrastructure and equipment necessary to augment production level are now in-place.
Ore body 5 has reached the advanced stage of production and expected to supply ore from November. Also complete is the auxiliary support necessary to extract ore from bodies 3 and 8.
Test results show that ore bodies 3 and 8 will provide a significant improvement in terms of gold grade, with 3.7g/t currently being achieved.
