17% construction expected to be completed by June 30, 2023
Robex is expected to restart the mine with a new 3 million tonne per annum CIL Processing Plant.
The Feasibility Study press release submitted on June 14, 2023, full FS report expected to be released within the 45 day period
The Kiniero gold mine operated from 2002 to 2014 from 2002 to 2014 and produced a total of 418,000 ounces of gold during this period.
The mine was placed on care and maintenance in early 2014 and was awarded to Sycamore in 2019.
Sycamore has invested $25 million in the project to drill the property to a definitive feasibility level for restarting the operation.
Through a business combination, Robex took over the project in 2022, and now plans to restart the mine with a new 3 million tonne per annum processing plant. The existing mining infrastructure will be refurbished and expanded with minimal additional infrastructure required.
Robex has also commenced an extensive drilling program on the numerous deposits identified to increase the resource base and extend the mine life at Kiniero primarily by increasing drilling density at depth and along the known lateral extensions.
