Comment from Ron Heeks, Managing Director:
“The delivery of the first antimony concentrate is a proud moment for the Company, as Hillgrove becomes a revenue generating mine and officially Australia’s newest supplier of critical minerals.
“As the first of the three products the plant produces, the focus has been on the antimony circuit. With the antimony circuit now operating at a steady rate, we will broaden our focus to optimise gold concentrate and gold doré production.
“The ramp-up of the plant is progressing well, with availability, processing tonnages and concentrate grades continuing to improve as the team refines the performance of the plant.
“The progress of the production reflects the wonderful, combined efforts of the processing and mine teams in commissioning and optimising the plant.
“This is a key milestone for Australia’s critical mineral and mining sector and is also significant for the New England region, supporting local jobs, businesses and economic activity.
“We all look forward to the shipment of first gold concentrate and production of the first gold bars in the near term.”
