The Announcement
Auric Mining Limited (ASX: AWJ) (Auric or the Company) is pleased to announce
that toll milling of the first batch of approximately 30,000 tonnes of ore from its
Jeffreys Find Gold Mine has now commenced. It is being processed by the
Greenfields Mill at Coolgardie.
Auric Mining has now reached a landmark moment as a maiden gold pour is
expected within days.
“In less than three years since listing on the ASX we have become one of Western
Australia’s gold producers. This is a first-class result for Auric and its partner, BML
Ventures Pty Ltd (BML) of Kalgoorlie,” said Auric’s Managing Director Mark English.
“Once the first batch has been processed through the mill, we will be able to
reconcile gold recovered against the grade control model greatly adding to
confidence in the project economics. That is only weeks away,” he said.
“Meanwhile BML have now stockpiled more than 100,000 tonnes of ore at the mine
site near Norseman, awaiting transport to the mill. This project is right on track to
achieve our ambition of mining and processing 150,000 to 180,000 tonnes from the
mine, in the first phase,” said Mr. English.
