PGT will rely on drill core and ore samples to be provided by GGC to produce a representative concentrate and undertake metallurgical test work to determine gold recoveries.

The company will also establish a preliminary design and costings for the Albion/CIL plant, which can be further expanded to 50,00tpa size and operated for 15-20 years.

"The plant’s target is to produce a minimum of 25,000oz Au per annum for each stage of installation."

As part of the development concept, GGC will establish and operate the mines and deliver ore to stockpiles. PGT will then blend the ore to provide predictable sulphide levels in-feed to the process plant.

PGT will design and construct the plant next to the larger mine, which could be expanded in stages to 50,000tpa or 75,000tpa.
