Akobo Minerals.
Project Description
A scoping study has confirmed the potential economics of the Segele project.
Akobo Minerals is planning to mine the gold mineralisation using methods such as shrinkage stoping or similar. Ore will be brought to surface using an incline shaft.
At peak production, just under 6 000 t a month of rock will be mined and this material will be fed into an industry-standard crushing and gravity circuit, with cyanidation where necessary.
The mine life is estimated at 27 months.
The company plans to buy a plant capable of processing 20 t/h, but will initially operate it at
10 t/h. The plant is expected to extract 90% of all gold in the mineralisation; this will be confirmed by ongoing metallurgical testwork.
