Gold now being poured from Sol Plaatje ore

West Wits Mining Limited (“West Wits” or “the Company) is pleased to announce that gold is now being poured from the Sol Plaatje Project (SPP) which forms part of the Soweto Project Cluster Gold Project, Gauteng Province, South Africa.

As released last week ore from SPP is now being extracted and processed at the nearby Mogale plant and the work is proceeding as planned. As at last week over 72,000 tonnes of material had been excavated from pit 1 at SPP which included over 5,200 tonnes of ore. Under the agreement with the mining contractor West Wits receives a payment equivalent to the value of 0.6g/t Au (approx. USD25) for each tonne of ore processed.

Michael Quinert, Chairman commented, “With gold now being poured from SPP ore this is yet another significant step forward for the Company which will provide capacity to further develop the significant 1.374 Moz resource. However whilst SPP is still ramping up production very careful grade control is being implemented. We will continue to maintain strict monitoring protocols through a rigid assay program with respect to the grade for each tonne of ore leaving SPP and being delivered to the Mogale plant.”

The Company will continue to provide further operational updates for SPP as production continues to increase and further tonnes are processed providing increasing certainty with respect to an average grade being received at the plant.

 Indonesia
