Commissioning Update
As announced on 6 September 2016, after assuming full management control of Mt Cattlin following the successful takeover of General Mining, the Company engaged Primero Group (“Primero”) as project managers for the final stages of construction, commissioning and ramp up of operations. Since taking over project management and after a complete review of the detailed planning, Primero has implemented an accelerated construction strategy to ensure the previously announced milestones are achieved. During the past week, Primero has commenced energisation and commissioning of the feed delivery, primary classification and water recovery circuits into the plant. Significant progress has been made on the timely and efficient completion of the feed preparation area of the process circuit.
Additional manpower has been mobilised to work in parallel on other areas of the plant. The primary focus of construction works now relate to the final modifications in the DMS circuit and this will be advanced in parallel with other process areas as works are completed and become available for commissioning.
