Doray delivers strong Sept results
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Production at the Andy Well gold mine, in Western Australia, has declined, owing to lower head grades.
ASX-listed Doray Minerals on Friday reported that the mine had produced 14 943 oz of gold in the September quarter, from the milling of 84 494 t of ore at an average head grade of 5.6 g/t gold.
This compared with 16 812 oz of gold delivered in the June quarter, at an average head grade of 6.3 g/t gold.
The September quarter also marked the first full quarter of production from the Deflector project, which milled 105 721 t of ore to produce 8 215 oz of gold and 883 t of copper.
First gold production at Deflector was achieved in May this year, some two-and-a-half years after the project was acquired through the acquisition of Mutiny Gold.
Doray MD Allan Kelly said that the company was pleased with the new 480 000 t/y processing plant's performance to date.
“We are now looking forward to completing the processing of the preliminary oxide and transition phase ore over the remainder of the year before commencing the processing of primary underground ore from early 2017,” Kelly said.
During the three months under review, a total of 19 104 oz of gold was sold, generating revenues of A$42.6-million.
