Wed Sep 04 2024

Australian gold mining company Meeka Metals has announced that its Murchison project in WA has received final approval for development.  The project is comprised of five exploration licences and two mining leases, focusing on three deposits: Andy Well, Turnberry and St. Anne’s.  

Meeka Metals has now commenced construction of the 20km haul road between the processing plant and the open-pit mining area.  Work on the accommodation village and office infrastructure is also continuing and will now accelerate with all approvals in place. 

In September, upgrades to the processing plant will start along with the relocation of a 750kW ball mill equipment package to Murchison.   December will see the drilling of depth extensions below the Turnberry open pits to expand the underground production plan, grade control drilling of the shallow, high-grade oxide starter pits at Turnberry and St. Anne’s, and the commissioning of the camp.
