Production continues to ramp up at GoldStone's Homase mine
Aim-listed GoldStone Resources reports that its Homase mine and heap leach operation, in Ghana, increased production by 14% month-on-month to 18.63 kg of gold doré, equivalent to about 598.9 oz of gold doré, for the period from March 1 to 24.
The operation maintained the average 48 000 t of agglomerated stacked ore a month.
Further, the company notes that preparatory work continues for the expansion of Pit 1, with the pushback of the benches to allow access to the ore.
"It is anticipated that mining operations will recommence in Pit 1 this month, where expected grades are 1 g/t to 1.2 g/t, which with increased stacking and the continued improvement in leach kinetic rates is expected to facilitate the achievement of our production target over the coming months," GoldStone states.
To further support the expansion of both mining and processing operations throughout this year, operations continue to advance on the second lift of Pads 3 and 4 and the extension to Cell 5 is nearing completion.
Civil engineering work also continues for the construction of Cells 6 and 7.
