Extraction Method

Pre-feasibility design is based on an optimised open pit mine design followed by underground mining applying a sublevel open stoping methodology. The project team is currently investigating the viability of heap leaching technology in order to enhance the project’s financial viability.

 

 

       

LOM

Pre feasibility design indicates 11 years at 80Koz gold per annum (heap-leach and underground mining option)
