Bullion will be sent to the Kazzinc refinery . Kazzinc operates one of the largest gold producing operation in Kazakhstan , Altyntau Kokshetau in the Akmola Region .
Alongside the new venture , RG Gold is busy maximising its 2mtpa oxide ore treatment facility which it has been operating for the last 9 years .
“ The aim is to keep running that plant for the next two to three years . While we ’ re ramping up the CIP plant , we will have this plant in production as well . So , from 2023- 25 , we will be treating 7mtpa in total across both plants ,” he adds . “ Drilling results looks really good . We are expecting additional oxide resources close to surface , so the potential exist to keep the Heap Leach operation running for several years , maybe even longer .”
