Kin finds processing solution for Leonora

Junior Kin Mining has entered into an option agreement with Agnew Gold Mining Company, held by gold miner Gold Fields, to acquire the Lawlers processing facility for A$2.5-million. The plant, which has been on care and maintenance for 21 months, has a capacity of some 800 000 t/y and includes a significant inventory of spare parts. Inclusive of the purchase will be a laboratory, warehouse and administration buildings, along with plant design and construction drawings, which Kin said would save on engineering cost and time.
