FAR
WEST GOLD RECOVERIES, PHASE 1: EARLY-STAGE COMMISSIONING IN PROGRESS
DRDGOLD is pleased to advise
shareholders that the commissioning of the
Far West Gold Recoveries
project,
previously
the West Rand Tailings Retreatment Project is set to start on 6 December 2018
with the pumping of reclaimed tailings into the carbon-in-leach circuit, just
four months into the construction of Phase 1.
Far West Gold Recoveries
was acquired from
Sibanye Gold
Limited, trading as Sibanye-Stillwater,
at the end of July 2018
.
DRDGOLD’s CEO, Niël
Pretorius, commented: “
The project is on track to achieve full production of
500 000tpm from Phase 1 in the first quarter of 2019.”
As part of early-stage
commissioning, face has been established at the Driefontein 5 tailings dam
reclamation site, from which pumping of reclaimed tailings through a new 2km
pipeline to the Driefontein 2 plant is set to begin. A parallel pipeline to
return water from the plant to the reclamation site has been completed.
Work to upgrade the plant’s
retreatment capacity is well advanced, with carbon loading – also part of the
overall commissioning process – set to begin immediately.
An 8km pipeline to transport
retreated tailings from the plant for cyclone deposition on the Driefontein 4
tailings dam and a parallel return water pipeline from the deposition site to
the plant have also been completed
.
