Contract route saves gold project R300m, local tech takes tanks out of critical path

The contract route chosen to recover gold from the mine dumps of the West Rand’s Mogale City reduced the project by R300-million. In addition, the technical prowess of a Krugersdorp fabrication and erection company down the road virtually took the carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold processing tanks out of the project’s critical path, and power supply infrastructure was piggy-backed from another nearby metals company, which provided a valuable electricity offramp for the gold upramp.
