On 1 June 2017, the Group through its wholly owned subsidiary, RioGold (Private) Limited acquired 100% of the voting shares of Palatial Gold Investments (Private) Limited an unlisted company which owns Dalny Mine Complex, a mining operation based in Chakari mining area, in the province of Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe.
Summary:
Dalny currently relies on near the surface open pitable ores which have lower grades that culminate in low production volumes. The medium to long term plan for the Mine is to complete the dewatering and resuscitation of its underground shafts in order to access the higher grade ore that is deposited underground.
Production:
The mine suffered major breakdowns in the milling section of its ageing plant which directly impacted milled output.
