Overview
Throughput has been maintained at
the Caijiaying Mine at an annualised equivalent rate of circa 1.5
million tonnes despite lower amounts of ore mined due to lower
grade stopes being accessed during the quarter. Despite the death
of an employee of the haulage contractor at the Caijiaying Mine and
the subsequent suspension of all mining and milling operations (as
announced on 10 October 2024), provided operations recommence in
the near future, the Company is hopeful that it will still be able
to reach its budgeted production profile of circa 1.5 million
tonnes per annum.
Zone II development work is ongoing
including a new third portal, a new South Ventilation Shaft,
development of the decline and other underground infrastructure and
services.
Chairman Mladen Ninkov commented, "What was always planned as a lower grade production quarter
has unfortunately been followed by the tragic loss of a
contractor's employee's life. All of our staff and contractors are
moving heaven and earth to ensure operations begin as soon as
possible and the production lost in the shutdown is recouped in the
last quarter."
