IPS is a renowned industry leader in constructing processing plants and has been working tirelessly to ensure the timely completion of the project. Classic Minerals Ltd is confident in their expertise and professionalism in delivering the project on time.

The gold processing plant is designed to process ore from the company's flagship Kat Gap Gold Project, located in Western Australia's goldfields. The plant is expected to have a processing capacity of up to 100,000 tonnes per annum, with the ability to expand as required.

The commissioning of the gold processing plant and TSF is a complex and critical process that requires close attention to detail, rigorous testing, and adherence to safety standards. Classic Minerals Ltd has worked closely with IPS throughout the construction process to ensure that all aspects of the facilities are designed, built, and tested to the highest specifications.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank IPS and our team of dedicated professionals for their hard work and commitment to delivering the project on time. We look forward to updating our shareholders on the progress of the commissioning and the performance of the processing plant once it is operational. We are excited about the future of Classic Minerals Ltd and the potential for the Kat Gap Gold Project to deliver significant value to our shareholders.

About Classic Minerals Ltd

Expanding its focus from exploration to mining, West Australian-based, minerals house Classic Minerals Ltd holds a pipeline of projects and continues to examine new opportunities both cyclic and counter-cyclic. Currently, ASX-listed Classic holds approximately 578 km[2] of tenements across two major regional exploration areas in minerals-rich West Australia. Classic’s ground is in areas with identified high grade gold and base metal targets. Classic’s flagship Kat Gap Gold Project has been the recent focus of its exploration, mining and processing efforts and is strategically located some 170 km south of Southern Cross and some 50 km south of the Company’s Forrestania Gold Project. With strong grades and near-surface mineralisation Kat Gap is soon to attain full scale production.

ABOUT THE FORRESTANIA GOLD PROJECT

The FGP Tenements (excluding Kat Gap) are registered in the name of Reed Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed Hannans Ltd (ASX: HNR). Classic has acquired 80% of the gold rights on the FGP Tenements from a third party, whilst Hannans has maintained its 20% interest in the gold rights. For the avoidance of doubt Classic Ltd owns a 100% interest in the gold rights on the Kat Gap Tenements and also non-gold rights including but not limited to nickel, lithium and other metals.
