Project Description
A concept study conducted on the Mogale Gold assets, including a high-level financial evaluation, has indicated an optimal tailings throughput feed of about 800 000 t a month, with expected recoveries of about 53%.

The project is expected to produce 44 000 oz/y over a proposed 12-year mine life.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return

Capital Expenditure

Planned Start/End Date

Latest Developments
The concept study has identified areas that it will require further evaluation during the prefeasibility stage of the project, including:

tailings storage facility deposition capacity constraints, which will require additional development to support the expected life of the project;

the availability of water sources in the area to supply the remining of the Mogale Gold assets or MSC; and

additional confirmatory process testwork to confirm gold recoveries.
