Northern Star plans to mine Hermes deposit in WA

A scoping study into the recently acquired Hermes deposit, at gold miner Northern Star Resources’ Plutonic operation, in Western Australia, has revealed that the deposit could add 86 000 oz over a two to three-year life. The Hermes deposit, which was within trucking distance of the Plutonic gold mine, was acquired in February this year, after Northern Star signed a series of agreements with fellow-listed Alchemy Resources.
