The Fort Knox Gilmore project continues to progress on schedule and on budget, with initial Gilmore ore encountered in the fourth quarter of 2019 and stacked on the existing Walter Creek heap leach pad. Stripping advanced as planned during the quarter and is expected to continue throughout 2020. Completion of the new Barnes Creek heap leach pad, where 95% of Gilmore ore is expected to be stacked, and related pumping and piping infrastructure, remains on target for completion in the fourth quarter of 2020.
First gold ounces were poured from the new Barnes Creek heap leach pad in January 2021, which is part of the Gilmore project. |
