Higginsville mill expansion, Australia
Name of the Project
Higginsville mill expansion.
Location
Higginsville, Western Australia.
Project Owner/s
Karora Resources.
Project Description
Karora plans to expand the Higginsville mill as part of the company’s hub-and-spoke model.
Phase 1, which is under way, involves expanding the gold circuit from 1.4-million tonnes a year to 1.6-million tonnes a year.
Phase 2 will increase the mill’s throughput rate to 2.5-milllion tonnes a year by 2024.
The Phase 2 expansion includes the installation of a new semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill and motor, as well as the associated extension of the conveyor system.
The existing quaternary crusher will be repurposed as a pebble crusher in the SAG mill circuit while the existing ball mill, gravity circuit and elution columns will be reused in the expanded plant.
Additional trash screens for filtering wet media, carbon-in-leach tanks and a new thickener will be installed on the back end of the mill.
Once completed, the mill expansion will provide optionality to blend Paleo-channel material with material from Karora’s other operating mines.
