PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The Tarcoola gold project’s mineral lease proposal has been thrown open for public comment.

Owner WPG Resources on Thursday said the proposal had been accepted by the South Australian Department of State Development and that the public had until October 8 to make submissions.

The feasibility study for the Tarcoola project was expected shortly. It would consider mining at rates of between 250 000 t/y and 350 000 t/y, with ore to be sourced from a large openpit and a smaller satellite openpit, and processing using a proven heap leach approach to recover gold.

WPG was hoping to be in production by the second quarter of 2016, subject to financing.
