JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Gold miner Doray Minerals reported on Tuesday that the Deflector project, in the southern Murchison region of Western Australia, had achieved its first gold pour – a year and two months after the takeover of the project.

Doray, which gained the Deflector project through the acquisition of Mutiny Gold, recently completed a new 480 000 t/y processing plant at the gold mine and said that the commissioning of the milling, gravity and flotation circuits was ongoing.

The plant would ramp up to commercial production over the next two months. The first shipment of gold/copper/silver concentrate was expected in late June.

Doray reported that openpit mining was progressing and that the underground contractor was currently mobilising to site in preparation for establishment of the portal and start of underground development, scheduled for June.

“In the 14 months or so since we completed the takeover of Mutiny Gold, we have funded, permitted and built a new 480 000 t/y processing plant, a new 150-person accommodation village and all other associated mine infrastructure, and commenced openpit mining at Deflector,” commented MD Allan Kelly.

“I’m now very pleased to be able to announce the commencement of gold production at Deflector, the second high-grade gold mine we have funded, permitted, built and commissioned in just under four years,” he added.

Doray also owned the Andy Well mine, in the northern Murchison district.
