AngloGold & Regis JV Authorizes Havana Underground Project
Read MoreHide Full Article
AngloGold Ashanti plc (AU - Free Report) and its Tropicana joint venture partner Regis have authorized the Havana underground project in Western Australia. This move is set to increase gold production at the Tropicana mine and extend its life.
AngloGold Puts Efforts to Boost Production at Tropicana
The Havana underground project is planned to enhance gold output between 2027 and 2029 beyond the Tropicana mine's existing production levels. Tropicana's gold production will be increased by three separate, underground sources once the Havana project is fully operational.
The Havana ore will be processed at the Tropicana facility, which can process 9.4 million tons of ore per year.
AU & Regis to Leverage Tropicana’s Existing Infrastructure
The Tropicana Gold Mine has a strike length of six kilometers and four mineralized zones. This includes the Havana deposit, which will be developed as part of the new underground project. An underground mine will be established 500-700 meters below the surface, beneath the active Havana open pit.
The project will use the Tropicana mine's existing infrastructure with minimal modifications, lowering costs and increasing efficiency.
AngloGold & Regis JV to Create Long-Term Value
Regis owns 30% of the Tropicana joint venture, with AngloGold owning the remainder.
The Havana underground project illustrates the possibility for further exploration and mine life extension, increasing its value and ensuring Tropicana's long-term subsurface expansion.
