Project Description
A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has illustrated the potential economics for a low-cost, large-scale, underground gold project, with industry-leading operating costs.
The project will comprise three sites: the Mine Site Complex, near the District of Wells, the Bonanza Ledge site, and the QR mill.
The study outlines total gold production of 2.8-million gold ounces, resulting in an average gold production profile of 236 000 oz/y over a 12-year mine life.
The PEA envisages a phased construction approach, with initial construction enabling a 2 000 t/d mine, and an expansion raising the throughput to 8 000 t/d for about 297 000 oz/y over an eight-year period.
