Macmahon upbeat about prospects at Tropicana

Mining volume targets at the Tropicana gold mine, in Western Australia, have been "significantly increased", contractor Macmahon Holdings reports. The move followed a yearly review of the project with majority owner AngloGold Ashanti, and previous announcements by the miner that Tropicana will produce at a rate of between 450 000 oz/y and 490 000 oz/y from the second half of 2017 as grade streaming is reintroduced.
