Ramelius Managing Director, Mark Zeptner today said:
“Once again the operations team has delivered, what is a flying start to the new financial year. The Saturn & Mars open pits are essentially completed and the Perseverance pit is just coming into better grade ore at Mt Magnet. Both the Kathleen Valley and Vivien mines are ahead of schedule, trucking of ore from Kathleen commenced mid-Quarter and we also had a healthy stockpile at the mine. From all reports, the Kathleen ore is milling as expected and we have seen a commensurate boost in both grade and recovery at Mt Magnet’s Checker mill. I now look forward to getting the first glimpse of the Vivien mine orebody in the December 2015 Quarter.”
Further details will be available in the full Quarterly Report later this month.
