Location
Near Kalgoorlie, in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Project Description
Mandilla is one of the biggest undeveloped free-milling openpit gold development projects in the Kalgoorlie region. A scoping study has proposed the construction of a 2.5-million-tonne-a-year carbon-in-leach processing plant, incorporating a three-stage crush and ball mill configuration with associated infrastructure.
Projected average gold production is estimated at 100 000 oz/y at an average feed grade of 1.30 g/t of gold over the first 7.4-year period. This will decrease to a projected average gold production target of about 41 000 oz/y at an average feed grade of 0.50 g/t gold when treating lower-grade stockpiles over the remaining 3.4-year period.
Total payable metal is estimated at 845 000 oz.
