JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Orinoco Gold is nearing its first gold pour at its flagship Cascavel gold project, in Brazil, with the commissioning of the gravity plant progressing on schedule.

The company reported on Wednesday that it expected the first gold pour to occur in the coming weeks, stating that development material was currently being run through the plant in batches.

The plant would continue to be commissioned with low-grade development material being run through the circuit in batches over the next week, while the plant was optimised, tuned and then stabilised, Orinoco said.

Towards the end of next week, the production build-up phase of commissioning would start with the plant being run for longer shifts to process the 5 000 t of low-grade development ore currently available for commissioning processing, together with parcels of initial stope ore.
