金矿生产商Kaiser Reef在维多利亚州历史悠久的Maldon金矿项目启动地下开发工作[1]。公司在Union Hill金矿打开Northern钻探通道，这是该项目近八年来首次现场开发[1]。管理总监Brad Valiukas表示这对Maldon项目和Kaiser都是重要里程碑[1]。
Maldon金矿项目拥有187,000盎司黄金资源[1]，配备Porcupine Flat加工厂，年处理能力达200,000吨[1]。该矿山历史上共产出175万盎司黄金，平均品位28克/吨[1]。表面钻探活动自6月起已开展，已钻探4,350米以测试Quill目标[1]。Kaiser Reef在2027财年的总产金指导目标为32,000盎司[1]，截至季度末公司现金余额为3,720万澳元[1]。
Gold producer Kaiser Reef has commenced underground development at its Maldon goldfield project in Victoria, opening a new drilling corridor at the Union Hill mine for the first time in nearly eight years [1]. The Northern drilling channel represents a significant operational milestone for both the Maldon project and the company [1].
The Maldon deposit contains 187,000 ounces of gold resources [1] and is serviced by the Porcupine Flat processing facility, which has an annual processing capacity of 200,000 tonnes [1]. Brad Valiukas, Kaiser Reef's managing director, joined the company from Northern Star Resources in a prior operational role and highlighted the importance of this development phase [1]. Surface drilling activities began in June, with 4,350 metres already drilled to test the Quill target [1].
Kaiser Reef's FY2027 gold production guidance stands at 32,000 ounces, and the company held cash reserves of AUD 37.2 million at the end of the quarter [1]. The Maldon goldfield has historically produced 1.75 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 28 grams per tonne [1].
