PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Portia gold mine, in South Australia, has poured its first gold, owner Havilah Resources said on Tuesday.

The trial gold pour was sourced from the gold concentrate produced during the plant’s commissioning, and came just 13 months after mining was started at the project.

“We have succeeded in executing the entire process from exploration to mining to processing and pouring gold, which is a great tribute to the skill of our dedicated team and the support of our shareholders,” said MD Chris Giles.

“This represents Havilah’s first mining production, which is a great achievement and milestone for our company,” he added.

Havilah recently suspended mining operations at Portia after a wall slip, but was hoping to restart these operations before the end of the week.
