“The funds will help advance our active growth plans further at Kilimapesa, as we target a 100% gold production uplift to 2,000 ozs per month in 2022, and at a highly prospective time for gold producers,” Chief Executive Robbie McCrae said.
The Kilimapesa Gold Mine has the potential to increase gold production to 25,000oz p.a. and the resource to +2Moz as of late 2021.
Currently, it is accelerating the third phase development activities at Kilimapesa aimed at increasing production to about 24 000 oz/y.
The first two phases focused on operational improvements and developments since listing in August 2021.
