PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Diversified miner Metals X has poured the first gold at its Central Murchison project, in Western Australia.

The company reported on Tuesday that wet commissioning of the Bluebird plant had started on October 16 and that the plant had now been fully commissioned with the pouring of an 11.76 kg dore bar, predominantly from the production of gravity concentrates.

The plant would continue to be optimised and was operating at an average throughput rate of more than 200 t/h.

At full production, the Central Murchison project would produce some 200 000 oz/y of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of A$1 180/oz over an initial 13-year mine life.
