The process plant at Aureus Mining’s New Liberty gold mine, in Liberia, has reached nameplate capacity, following a successful period of commissioning. The process plant recently underwent a 24-hour performance test, during which time the plant was operating at a feed rate of 152 t/h of run-of-mine (RoM) ore at plant availability of 96%, with all other equipment operating within or exceeding their design parameters over a continuous 12-hour period, the dual-listed company said on Monday.
