KANMANTOO MARCH PRODUCTION IMPACTED BY SECONDARY CRUSHER
Hillgrove Resources Limited (ASX: HGO) advises shareholders that the ramp-up at the Kanmantoo Copper Mine is generally on schedule with the overall performance of the processing plant running around design capacity. However, during March, production will be reduced to about 160kt (80% design) by a recent failure of the crown gear in the secondary cone crusher – a very unusual event. It is envisaged that concentrate production will be correspondingly affected.
Kanmantoo is 4 months into a 4-6 month ramp-up, and otherwise remains on track. The loss of production for March is of marginal concern in the context of projected annual throughput at full capacity.
