Native Mineral Resources continues to ramp up activities at its Blackjack gold operations in Queensland with the successful completion of two gold smelts, producing five gold doré bars.
This follows the company’s previous pours in late August, marking a clear progression in its ramp-up from commissioning to steady-state gold production at Blackjack.
“Our latest Blackjack pours delivered 700 ounces of gold doré bars, a clear step forward as we move from ramp-up into steady production. With a strong overall recovery of 94.66%, the plant is performing well and giving us confidence to lift throughput further,” said Managing Director and CEO Blake Cannavo.
“Later this month, we will pour again, this time blending in material from Far Fanning, which marks the start of the next growth phase. The team has done an outstanding job to get us here, and I’m confident shareholders will see even more value as production builds.”
The next gold pour is scheduled for late September, incorporating blended feed from Blackjack and Far Fanning stockpiles.
