Akobo produces first concentrate from Segele plant
Gold miner Akobo Minerals has successfully produced the first gold concentrate at its Segele processing plant, in Ethiopia.
The company started processing low-grade gold ore following a final phase of commissioning at the plant, which validated its functionality under operational conditions.
The company is testing and optimising the processing plant’s capabilities using low-grade ore, as part of its measured approach toward achieving full production from higher-grade ore.
The Segele site currently has an inferred and indicated mineral resource of 68 000 oz, yielding a significant grade of 22.7 g/t.
The plant is able to produce 4 000 oz of gold a month, at an expected recovery rate of 96%.
Its modular design allows for future upgrades as the Segele mine and other adjacent targets are developed, ensuring the plant remains adaptable to evolving operational needs.
