New Murchison Gold (ASX: NMG) reports a strong operational start at the Crown Prince gold mine in WA.

During its first month of operations, the company successfully mined and crushed 31,000dt of ore at an agreed grade of 3.23g/t (adjusted for recovery) trucked to Westgold Resources’ (ASX: WGX) Bluebird gold processing facility.

New Murchison Gold chief executive Alex Passmore comments on the operation.

“Since the commencement of trucking ore to Bluebird we have ramped up crushing and stockpiling activities and look forward to first revenue from Crown Prince in October,” he said.

“We are continuing to ramp up production from the open pit and are debottlenecking key areas of our process.

“The December quarter will see the first full quarter of production from the operation, and we are expecting a strong start in October.”

According to NMG, mining activities are progressing to plan, with both the operations team and on-site contractors working cohesively to ensure stability and safety across the site.

The company has established a solid production inventory heading into Q4:

  • 33,600wt of run-of-mine ore stockpiled and awaiting crushing
  • 11,000wt of crushed high-grade product awaiting trucking for processing

These volumes are expected to support a strong continuation of production and ore sales in October.
