Contractor mobilised for underground mining at A1
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Junior A1 Consolidated Gold on Wednesday told shareholders that contractor PYBAR Mining Services had been mobilised to the A1 gold mine, in Victoria, with work scheduled to start on January 11.
The appointment of PYBAR as underground mining contractor at the A1 mine would see A1 Consolidated’s objective of bringing the project into full time production achieved during the first quarter of this year.
A previous scoping study had forecast that the A1 mine could deliver some 30 000 oz/y of gold at a C3 cost of A$849/oz.
“We are pleased that mobilisation of labour and mining equipment to site has commenced so quickly, and look forward to forging a strong working relationship with PYBAR," said A1 Consolidated MD Dennis Clark.
“The mining works are scheduled to commence next week, with ore production from the 1 400 Stockworks expected in March 2016. As indicated by the scoping study, bringing the A1 mine into full-time gold production will be a major milestone for our company,” Clark added.
