GOLD
A prefeasibility study into the Aphrodite gold project, in Western Australia, has estimated that a capital injection of A$81-million would be required for a one-million-tonne-a-year carbon-in-leach (CIL) operation, growing to A$123-million if a pressure oxidation process (POX) is incorporated. ASX-listed junior Aphrodite Gold on Tuesday reported that the CIL operation would process some 447 000 t of ore, grading 2.6 g/t gold to deliver around 38 000 oz of gold, while the POX operation would process 2.7-million tonnes of ore, grading 2.2 g/t gold to deliver around 187 000 oz of gold.
