PERTH (miningwekely.com) – Construction of the one-million-tonne-a-year processing plant at the Norseman gold project, in Western Australia, has been completed, both on time and budget, says ASX-listed Pantoro.

The company, which holds a 50% interest in the project, told shareholders on Tuesday that ore commissioning at the processing plant was now under way.

“Achieving practical completion on time, and on budget is an outstanding result considering the recent cost increases and delays experienced across the wider industry. I thank and congratulate the team at Pantoro for their substantial efforts to stay on track and hit the objective. I also commend the performance of GR Engineering in delivering the project,” said MD Paul Cmrlec.

Mining activities at the Scotia mining center and the OK underground mine are ongoing, with 140 000 t of ore currently available for milling.

The A$62-million plant will initially be fed from ore from the Gladstone and Scotia mining centers, and from an underground operation at the OK mine. Over the initial seven-year mine life, Norseman is expected to produce 108 000 oz/y.

First production is targeted for the third quarter of 2022.
