Following completion of crushing trial test work and heap leach engineering design, Monument is now speeding-up mine development.
Initially, the crushing section of the Burnakura gold processing plant has been designed to provide only high-grade mill feed.
Re-engineering plans are set in order to crush ore materials extracted from various open-pit and underground mines to feed both heap leaching and mill facilities.
Monument sent samples of the crushed materials to independent laboratories in Australia, and plans to use the results for the crushing and screening circuit design.
