Goongarrie Lady gold project, Australia
Name of the Project
Goongarrie Lady gold project.
Location
The project is located 85 km north of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, in Western Australia.
Client
Intermin Resources.
Project Description
The project has total mineral resources of 310 600 t grading 2.4 g/t gold.
According to the feasibility study, a mining contractor will conduct the mining activities, with Intermine providing Technical and managerial oversight.
Opencut mining methods using conventional truck-and-shovel operations will be used and will initially be free-dig near surface.
About 15 m of waste overburden will be removed over a three-month period, followed by a staged grade control drilling programme through the entire ore zone.
Processing will be through a conventional third-party carbon-in-leach plant in close proximity to the mine.
The mine is expected to produce 135 000 t at a fully diluted grade of 2.94 g/t gold for 12 700 oz over a seven-month mine life.
