Granny Venn. A total of 24,459 tonnes were milled at a head grade of 2.47g/t au for 1766 ounces and a recovered grade of 2.23gt/ au. This represents 97% of the modelled reserve tonnes, 107% of the modelled grade and 104% of the estimated ounces recovered.
Resources and Energy Group Director Dan Moore commented : “This is a great outcome for the project and underscores the capabilities of our mining partner BM Mining Services to deliver a result at or above mine plan estimates. We look forward to the second milling campaign where mining operations have reached the ore body in the east cut back”.
The east cut back is the primary resource for the operation with early indications that the ore resources are larger than originally modelled. This will be confirmed following receipt of grade results from the first ore shots.
As of Monday, the 29[th] November, a total of 17,000 tonnes has been delivered to Lakewood, with the second campaign of 25,000 tonnes set to commence later in December.

In Queensland, the company has a 12km2 Mineral Development Licence over the Mount Mackenzie Mineral Resource and retains a further 15km2 as an Exploration Permit. These Development and Exploration Licences are in the Connors-Auburn Arc and are prospective for high, intermediate, and low sulphidation gold and base metals mineralisation. The current resource has been estimated at 3.42Mt @ 1.18g/t gold and 9g/t silver for a total of 129,000 oz gold and 862k oz silver. A metallurgical test program is currently underway to investigate processing options for primary mineralisation below the current resource extents.
