Project Description
A scoping study has determined that the Black Swan 150 000 t/y and 1.1-million-tonne-a-year processing circuits can be refurbished at a relatively low capital cost.
The 150 000 t/y Silver Swan circuit will treat high-grade sulphide ore.
The original two million-tonne-a-year Black Swan plant, used to treat low-grade disseminated openpit ore, will be derated to process 1.1-million tonnes a year potentially from Windarra.

The 150 000 t/y high-grade circuit is estimated to cost between $13.4-million and $15.9-million to refurbish, depending on the crushing option. The 1.1-million-tonne-a-year lower-grade circuit could be refurbished for $22.1-million.
