Southern Ashanti gold project, Ghana
Name and Location
Southern Ashanti gold project, Ghana.
Project Description
The Southern Ashanti gold project consists of a contiguous block of granted tenure covering about 664 km2 on the southern extension of the Ashanti goldbelt, host to over 60-million ounces of gold.
The feasibility study on the project estimates average yearly gold production of about 100 000 oz over the first five-and-a-half years of mine life and is based on the development of a 1,3-million-ton-a-year processing facility, treating the Anwia and Salman deposits over a six-and-a-half-year period. The studied plant configuration consists of crushing, semiautogenous milling, gravity recovery, preleach thickening and a six-stage carbon-in-leach circuit.
Value
$105-million.
Duration
First production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011.
