First ore delivered to stockpile at Larvotto's Hillgrove project
ASX-listed Larvotto Resources reports that the first ore at its Hillgrove antimony/gold project, in New South Wales, Australia, has been successfully mined underground and delivered to the surface stockpile – a key milestone for the company ahead of plant commissioning.
Underground operations and plant refurbishment activities are continuing on time and budget, it adds.
“The first ore delivery to surface stockpile is another major milestone in bringing Hillgrove back into production to help meet world demand for this critical metal. The site team has done an excellent job of reaching this point, on track and on budget, for the commencement of plant commissioning in August.
"With the plant refurbishment progressing well and staffing increasing nearly daily, we are looking forward to delivering on becoming not only Australia’s next critical minerals producer, but Australia’s largest antimony producer," Larvotto MD Ron Heeks says.
Hillgrove is expected to produce an average of about 85 710 oz/y of gold-equivalent, including 40 556 oz/y of gold and 4 878 t/y of antimony over the life-of-mine.
