Panterra Gold: gold production from tailings dam moves closer at Las Lagunas
Near term gold producer Panterra Gold (ASX: PGI), formally EnviroGold, is continuing to advance the company's Las Lagunas gold tailings project in the Dominican Republic, and has updated the market on the company's progress.
The current timeline has mining of the tailings dam commencing next month, with the outstanding elements including the CIL plant and tailings thickener forecast to be completed in January 2012.
The next step is initial plant feed in February/March 2012.
Brian Johnson, executive chairman, has recently been involved in a detailed review of construction progress and said that authorities have advised permanent power will be connected to the site mid next month.
This will then allow progressive commissioning of completed elements of the process plant, including the oxygen plant, Albion oxidation circuit, and limestone mill which constitute approximately 50% of the construction elements.
Johnson added that the refining of the gold/silver doré produced at the mine will be undertaken at Johnson Matthey’s Toronto refinery.
Panterra will look to make the first gold and silver pour towards the end of the March quarter 2012, with annual production forecast at around 65,000 gold ounces and 600,000 silver ounces.
