Since commencement of the toll campaign 1, approximately 17kt has been processed to date. The metallurgical performance of the ore is highly encouraging. The unreconciled weighted head grade of the mill feed is calculated to be 2.59gt. This exceeds the forecast campaign head grade of 2.14 g/t.

Resources and Energy Group Director Richard Poole commented : “The Company is delighted to report this outcome. It represents a pivotal moment in the Company’s growth as it transitions from exploration to production. Since acquiring ground in the East Menzies Goldfield, the Company has moved rapidly to identify and commercialise resources, whilst maintaining a vigorous exploration strategy which has delivered some outstanding results for gold at Gigante Grande, and for nickel at Springfield. I would like to thank our mining partners at BM Mining Pty Ltd who have done an amazing job at managing Mining Operations at Granny Venn and enabling this outcome to be achieved.

The gold milling campaign is being carried out at the Lakewood Gold Plant which is located at Kalgoorlie‐Boulder and operated by Golden Mile Milling.
