Operations, Infrastructure, and Location
Projects are in the Kalgoorlie gold fields, less than 25km from Kambalda, with excellent access to infrastructure and services.
Planned processing plant and facilities are 500 m from a major highway and near established mining towns.
Mandilla is a large-scale open pit, producing 95,000 oz/year for 12 years, followed by 6.5 years of lower-grade production.
Infrastructure-rich location reduces development risk and cost, with strong community and government support.
The Maximus transaction enables optimal surface infrastructure design and cost efficiencies.
