Name of the Project
Gilmour gold project.
Location
Yamarna belt, in Australia.
Project Owner/s
Australian gold producer and explorer Gold Road Resources.
Project Description
A prefeasibility study (PFS) released in January 2025 has proposed an operation with a five-year life-of-mine (LoM) averaging 50 300 oz/y.
Total LoM production of 252 000 oz at 3.9 g/t gold is envisaged from underground and openpit operations.
The project includes a high-grade underground mine component, which is expected to produce 200 000 oz over a four-year mine life.
This includes a high-grade segment of 100 000 oz at 9.34 g/t gold and a lower-grade segment of 100 000 oz at 3.89 g/t gold.
Ore will be hauled to the Gruyere process plant, which is owned by the Gruyere Joint Venture, of which Gold Road is a 50% partner.
The mining of Gilmour is the first step of the Yamarna mine readiness project, with progressive evaluation of other resources – Renegade, Smokebush and Warbler – and late-stage exploration targets to follow in 2025.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
The project has a pretax NPV, at a 5% discount rate, at A$3 500/oz of A$330-million, and a pretax NPV, at a 5% discount rate, at A$4 300/oz of A$505-million.
