Alacer takes delivery of autoclaves for Çöpler sulphide expansion project
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – TSX- and ASX-listed Alacer Gold has taken delivery of two autoclaves at its 80%-owned Çöpler mine, in Turkey.
The autoclaves form part of the Çöpler sulphide expansion project, which is expected to raise the mine’s remaining life-of-mine gold output to four-million ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of $645/oz.
Construction on the $744-million project started in May 2016, with the first gold pour scheduled for the third quarter of 2018.
The autoclaves were manufactured at Carpenteria Corsi, in Italy, and transported to the Samsun port, in northern Turkey. Each autoclave was then transported separately to the mine in three pieces, with each weighing about 100 t.
