Welcome to the first edition

of the Dargues Gold Mine—

Newsletter for 2019.

I joined the Dargues Gold Mine team in January 2019 in the role of General Manager. I’m a mining engineer with 17 years of experience and have worked at a number mines here in Australia and overseas.

I’m looking forward to getting to know the local area and community over the coming months and years.

It is a very busy time at the Dargues Gold Mine, with underground mining well progressed and the process plant steel erection commencing. The Tailings Storage Facility bulk earthworks will commence next month along with the installation of water bores and other supporting infrastructure.

I look forward to providing regular updates moving forwards and please do not hesitate to contact us on the information over the page should you wish to find out more.

At the end of May, the underground workings had advanced 669.5 metres from the portal (entrance to the underground mine). The mine is now 115 metres below ground level with over 1,198.6 metres of underground development now completed.

The image below shows the Boxcut (light green) which contains the portal, the underground development completed to date (red), the planned development for the next three months (green), Ventilation and Escape Way (blue) and the old historical workings (purple).

Ore (Photo on the Left) was intersected on 65 level on 29 May 2019. The ore was sourced from an area of mineralisation called Main Lode which varies in width from 1m to 3.5m, averaging about 3 metres in width. The ore brought to surface contains approximately three grams of gold per one tonne of ore. Mining is planned to intersect further ore on 65 Level in June.

Although some ore has been intersected early, no processing of the ore is able to be completed until the process plant is constructed. Construction of the process plant is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2020.
