Project Description
Doropo has probable mineral reserves of about 1.88-million ounces at an average grade of 1.53 g/t of gold, supporting a ten-year life-of-mine (LoM).
The project will use openpit mining and a carbon-in-leach processing circuit.
The project envisages a contract mining operation, mining a maximum of 28-million tonnes a year of material and delivering up to 4.9-million tonnes a year of ore to the run-of-mine pad and stockpiles, with variation based on the location and the combination of oxide, transition and fresh ore mined. The project plans to mine 38-million tonnes of ore, to be fed into the process plant, and 188-milion tonnes of waste over the LoM.
Total production over the LoM is estimated at 1.67-million ounces, with an average of 207 000 oz/y of gold in the first five years.
