The plan is to stockpile ore from the current ore block, and "pause" development of another underground ore block and a restart of open-pit mining, operations manager Phil Howard said.
New investments in gold recovery plants, for example the commissioning of a state-of-the-art Sulphide Treatment Plant at Sansu last year, and a fourth bi-oxidation train to expand this facility in 1995, will increase recovery from medium grade underground ore blocks, particularly as a result of the higher-than-design capacity of the existing bi-oxidisation section of Sansu.
Previous estimations of $450M USD (Not NI 43-101 compliant) are based upon 9 previous geological and engineering studies and speak only to the ore blocks encountered in the underground workings consisting of the COD vein.
