PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Australian junior A1 Consolidated Gold has started production mining on a high-grade quartz reef at its A1 gold mine, in Victoria.

The reef was exposed during the initial development of the dyke on the 1650 level of the A1 mine. The stope marked the first production area for A1.

“To have commenced production mining is a significant milestone for the company,” said MD Dennis Clark on Tuesday.

“Since listing on the ASX in June 2012, the company has worked very hard to reach this pivotal point,” he added.

Clark noted that the reef was currently open to the west, and to the north and south, with average widths varying from 30 cm to 140 cm for individual veins within the reef system.

The full extent of the reef structure is unknown at this time, and a drill programme was planned for the area during the third quarter of this year.
