Keras Resources managing director Dave Reeves said: “The milling agreement with Golden Mile is significant in that it allows us to batch process the ore, which provides both detailed grade reconciliation and rapid payment of gold produced.
“Haulage and milling for the Wycheproof pit will commence in September and will be complete in October. Mining is on schedule and on budget.”
The shallow Wycheproof deposit has a resource of 75,600t at 2.87g/t for 6,974oz on existing mining leases. The majority of mineralisation contained within westerly dipping quartz porphyry, which extends from surface to base of drilling.
