PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Dual-listed gold miner Troy Resources has completed the commissioning of the Karouni processing plant, in Guyana.

The company reported on Monday that all parts of the plant had been dry and wet commissioned over the past six weeks and that the mill was the last major component to be put through this process.

The mill was now being fed with a limited amount of ore to enable pressure and flow-rate adjustments to all systems. The last part of the elution circuit was programmed and ready to run within the next few days.

Once the final adjustments had been made to the mill and processing circuit, ore feed was expected to steadily increase towards the plant’s design capacity of 80 000 t/m. This should be achieved by early 2016.

“Conclusion of commissioning activities represents a significant milestone in the fast-track development of Karouni,” said Troy MD Martin Purvis.

“If the ramp-up in production continues as expected, the first gold pour is now expected to occur in the first half of November.”

The $70-million opencut operation, which would have a mine life of three years, would produce, on average, 101 000 oz/y of gold, barring the first year in which 104 400 oz was expected.
