Study envisages initial gold mining and processing at Fountain Head (Years 1 to 5) to be followed by
gold-silver-zinc development at Hayes Creek (from Year 4)
Gold processing to take place at a proposed CIL plant located at Fountain Head
Hayes Creek development will utilise the future mined-out Fountain Head pit for tailings storage
Total Life of Mine production estimates of metals recovered to doré and concentrates:
250,500 ounces of gold, 11.4 million ounces of silver, and 116,300 tonnes of zinc
