FIRST GOLD DORE PRODUCED AT WHITE DAM

Highlights

  • Joint Venture Agreement ( JV ) on the White Dam Gold-Copper Heap Leach Operation ( White Dam ) executed with Round Oak Minerals Pty Ltd ( Round Oak ) on 1 July 2020.

  • White Dam’s maiden gold dore bar poured with associated copper concentrate production from the Sulphidisation-Acidification-Recycling-Thickening ( SART ) Plant continuing to ramp up.

  • GBM’s 50% JV cashflow interest at White Dam was earnt via the construction of the SART Plant, which is designed to extract copper from the gold leach solution thereby improving overall gold recoveries.

  • Evaluation of the estimated remaining resources of 4.6 Mt averaging 0.7 g/t Au for 101,900 ounces of gold has commenced to determine the viability of the extraction and leaching of this material. (refer ASX:GBZ release 10 August 2020)

GBM Resources Limited (ASX:GBZ) ( GBM or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has, with JV partner Round Oak, poured the first gold dore bar at White Dam.

The SART Plant, and associated copper concentrate production, continues to ramp-up broadly in-line with expectations. Identified optimisation opportunities are also expected to drive further expanded production and reduced costs.

Peter Rohner, Managing Director and CEO, commenting on the White Dam JV and SART operation: “I would like to thank the Round Oak site team for their ongoing efforts in optimising the SART Plant operation. While recent rain has resulted in some minor delays, the additional water is set to drive increased heap leach irrigation and thus higher gold and copper production in the near term. We are now working to finalise shipping of the first copper concentrates once the concentrate drying process is completed. The SART Plant is meeting its design objectives of removing copper and increasing the recovery of the cyanide solution back into the circuit to increase gold recoveries, which together enhance the overall economics of the White Dam operation.”
