PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Dual-listed gold miner Troy Resources has produced its first gold bar from the Karouni project, in Guyana.

“We are extremely excited to have poured our first gold bar at Karouni. The plant is fully functional and we are operating at a level slightly ahead of our anticipated ramp-up programme,” said executive director of project development, Ken Nilsson.

The first gold bar weighed just over 4.7 kg.

Since completing commissioning of the Karouni plant in late October, the plant had been running in a stop-start mode, while Troy had been modifying operational aspects and synchronising mechanical and electrical components.

Nilsson said that the plant was currently being run at between 40% and 50% of its nominal capacity of 80 000 t/m, with full design capacity expected to be achieved in early 2016.

He added that Troy was building up carbon loadings to start producing gold from both the leach and gravity circuits, adding that the plant was currently running with a single furnace to enable a smelting cycle of about three to four days.

A second furnace would be brought on line once throughput reaches steady state.
