Things going on ”behind the scenes”
Things going on ”behind the scenes”
There are numerous initiatives currently underway which may further enhance project economics, including:
- undertaking an expansion study - SRK has been engaged to look at the possibility of expanding the Eagle Gold project to a second heap leach pad and, if viable, increase throughput to run two pads concurrently;
- undertaking an equipment trade-off study to investigate used equipment and equipment leasing arrangements;
- conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources, particularly at depth, to increase reserve potential and decrease waste;
- increase recovery potential of ore in weathered sediments through further metallurgical testing;
- further refinement of water management and water treatment to reduce potential closure costs; and
- further investigation of process stacking plan and leach solution application to accelerate gold recovery.
