Australian producer Regis Resources’ underground growth strategy at its Duketon gold project in the WA Goldfields is advancing with the award of a $A113M, 3-year development and production contract to Barminco.
The underground development, directly below the current Rosemont openpit, is targeting a maiden resource of 1.4Mt @ 5.1g/t for 230,000oz.
MD Jim Beyer says Rosemont’s initial underground development provides an excellent platform for growth through exploration from an established underground footprint.
Mining services company Ausdrill’s late-2018 acquisition of underground contractor Barminco has delivered early results with the award of a $A113M, 3-year contract at Regis Resources' Rosemont gold project in the WA Goldfields.
Barminco will undertake development and production work on the new underground mine beneath the Rosemont openpit. Onsite work will begin in the March qtr.
