Site preparation commenced in 2015 with removal of waste for the construction of the tailings storage facility. Current mining operations are constrained to high grade open pit material mined directly to the run of mine pad for processing while lower grade material is stockpiled. The potential to heap leach this material is planned to be investigated in the near future and could quickly add to the annual gold production. It is expected that Calandrias and Microndas will serve as the primary heap leach operations. Additionally, underground operations are also currently being investigated. Likely to commence at the La Paloma area and add additional high grade feed to the plant in later years. Plant OperationsThe process plant is operated and maintained by our own team consisting of 106 employees.
