Management Comment
Red 5 Managing Director, Mark Williams, said:
“Development at KOTH has really stepped up a gear during October with increased manning levels and construction activities accelerating on multiple fronts, with the SAG mill shell now assembled and the crusher ontrack to be fully installed within the next few weeks.
“The hot tap into the Goldfields Gas Pipeline is scheduled for mid-November and four more gas engines for the power station are scheduled to arrive in Australia later this month.
“Grade control drilling for the KOTH open pit commenced in October, with results from this program set to de-risk mining in the first year of production.
“The advanced status of many of these work programs means that we remain on track to deliver first gold production from the new KOTH processing plant in the June 2022 Quarter, with the construction program also remaining within budget – a testament to the exceptional management of our project execution team led by our Project Manager Warren King and our EPC contracting partner MACA Interquip.”
