• Gold recovery exceeding 95 percent
• First experimental production on 19 September 2014

Supporting Infrastructure

Substantial site infrastructure supports the processing plant and its workforce.

• 4 MW electrical generation facility
• Approximately 70 km water-transfer system
• Laboratory, stores, workshop, clinic, fuel station, accommodation, dining, and mosque

Environmental Relevance

Modern residue treatment and scientific transport practices help reduce negative environmental effects associated with traditional mining.
