Mallee Resources Limited provided project update. Around 18,000 tonnes of ore has been stockpiled on the run-of-mine pad to date including plant commissioning feed. Two new Sandvik underground mine loaders have arrived in Tasmania and are presently being configured with teleremote technology to enable safe underground loading.

The loaders are expected to arrive on site later in August which will allow for the commencement of production from stopes and the commencement of 24 hour/7 day operational rosters. Refurbishment and equipment testing programmes are well advanced in the processing plant. A dust extraction system for the crushing shed is presently being installed ahead of the planned start to commissioning in September.

A safety conscious culture is well established at Avebury. The emergency response team has undertaken training programs to enhance operational readiness and ensure operations at Avebury continue to prioritise safety.
