Gold Fields executive vice-president Stuart Mathews said: “Gruyere is a tremendous asset based on a world‐class orebody and a forecast long mine life. The Gruyere JV’s focus now shifts to the safe and successful ramp‐up to nameplate capacity to allow us to deliver full value to all stakeholders.”

According to Gold Road, attention will now turn to commissioning the final components of the process plant, particularly the ball mill, which is anticipated in September.

Commissioning of the gravity gold recovery circuit is underway, followed by the reinstallation of pipe work required for the safe operation of the circuit.

Gold production will continue until the ball mill is fully operational and is integrated into the circuit. It will mark the beginning of an anticipated ramp‐up period of six to seven months.

Gruyere is a global Tier 1 gold mine and is estimated to produce approximately 300,000oz per annum.
