PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Eastern Goldfields has poured first gold at the recently commissioned Davyhurst mill, in Western Australia.

The company told shareholders on Tuesday that the first gold pour represented a significant milestone for Eastern Goldfields, as it was the first on-site gold production at Davyhurst since 2008.

“We are delighted to report the completion of the first gold pour at our Davyhurst processing facility. This is a very significant step in our journey and underlines the hard work done by all involved in this project,” said Eastern Goldfields chairperson Michael Fotios.

“Mining operations continue to progress well, building on a substantial supply of low-to-medium grade ore ready to support the ramp-up in production.”

Production at Davyhurst was delayed as project house GR Engineering suspended work at the processing plant on the back of a dispute between the two companies regarding the final contract price to refurbish the 1.2-million-tonne-a-year plant.
