JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Australian gold miner Middle Island is set to restart operations at the Sandstone project, in Western Australia, by September 2017.

The company acquired the 480 000 oz project from Black Oak Minerals in May for A$2.5-million. It includes a 600 000 t/y carbon-in-pulp processing plant, which has been on care and maintenance since 2010.

Middle Island reported that it was focused on completing a prefeasibility study for Sandstone by December this year. The miner would make a decision on plant and infrastructure refurbishment in January 2017.

The project also holds a number of exploration options, with numerous greenfield exploration targets within the project and stranded third-party deposits, comprising some 230 000 oz, in the district.
