Beadell sees higher production in Dec Q
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Gold miner Beadell Resources has reported increased production for the quarter ended December, as the Duckhead openpit at its Tucano mine, in Brazil, continued to deliver high-grade ore.
During the quarter under review, Beadell produced 60 823 oz, compared with the 55 094 oz produced in the September quarter.
Beadell reported that the carbon-in-leach throughput capacity at Tucano was 4.2-million tonnes a year during the quarter, with the month of December averaging a rate of 4.3-million tonnes a year.
More than one-million tonnes of oxide ore was processed during the quarter, with the plant recovery reaching 92%.
Meanwhile, Beadell reported that the construction of the $1.3-million transverse conveyor system, to supplement and enhance feed to the semiautogenous grinding mill, was complete and was being commissioned.
The system is designed to deal with the processing of the large stockpiles of crushed low-grade ore, and has the potential to significantly increase the mill feed to beyond 4.5-million tonnes a year.
Looking ahead, Beadell was expecting gold production for the 2014 financial year to reach between 190 000 oz and 210 000 oz.
