Ghana-focused Asante Gold has reported substantial progress at its sulphide recovery plant at the Bibiani gold mine, with the principle long-lead equipment expected to be delivered to site by mid-August.
Installation of the sulphide recovery plant is expected to improve gold recovery and have a significant impact on the all in sustaining cost (AISC) per ounce produced and the profit margins at Bibiani. Gold recovery from sulphide ore is expected to increase from 70% to about 92%, the company said.
