PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed gold junior Havilah Resources will add a second fleet of mining equipment at its Portia gold mine, in South Australia, to double excavation capacity after hitting production targets in June.

The ASX-listed miner said on Monday that some 400 000 m3 of material was moved during June this year, with the operation settling into a steady routine.

“The second fleet of mining equipment provides welcome extra capacity if required,” said MD Chris Giles.

Meanwhile, the tailings dam and associated infrastructure at Portia were largely completed, while the water re-injection system was functioning according to plan and was currently accepting all dewatering water that was surplus to operational requirements.

First gold from Portia was expected in July next year, and the mine is estimated to host a Joint Ore Reserves Committee inferred resource of 720 000 t, grading 2.9 g/t gold for 67 000 oz of contained gravity recoverable gold.
