The Board of Blackham Resources Limited provided an update on gold production at its 6.0Moz Matilda/Wiluna Gold Operation. First gold pour was achieved in the 3rd week of October 2016 and practical completion for the plant refurbishment was achieved by both the SMP and E&I contractors in November. During the quarter, Blackham continued to ramp up production to its Stage 1 production target of 100,000ozpa. Quarterly gold production totalled 9,240oz with 5,010oz produced in the month of December. Crushing and grinding throughput rates increased through the quarter which coincided with an increase in the mill feed grade from November through to December. The gold plant has been commissioned on a mixture of historical stockpiles and lower grade Matilda open pit ore. The mill head grade progressively increased over the quarter as the open pits deepened but only a small quantity of Golden Age was processed during the quarter. Most of the Golden Age development ore mined to date (currently grading 5.0g/t) has been stockpiled for processing and as such the mill feed grade profile is expected to increase over the March quarter. The plant optimisation and de-bottle necking program is ongoing with a view to continuing the ramp up and maximising gold production. Blackham’s fiscal year 2017 production forecast is 64,000 to 71,000ozpa. The Matilda Gold Project is located in Australia’s gold belt which stretches from Norseman through Kalgoorlie to Wiluna. Blackham’s 100% owned Wiluna gold plant has been refurbished to a name plate 1.7Mtpa and is located in the centre of the Matilda Gold Project. The expanded Matilda Gold Project now includes JORC 2012 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources of 58Mt @ 3.2g/t for 6.0Moz Au within a 1,000km2 exploration tenement package and has historically produced in excess of 4.3 million ounces. Stage 1 Gold production through the Wiluna gold plant commenced in October 2016. The Stage 2 expansion studies are focused on increasing gold production to beyond 200,000ozpa.
