Kilimapesa Gold – Kenya Jobs

By | February 26, 2021

The Company is focussed on increasing production at the mine through a new processing plant and tailings deposition facility. The new plant was commissioned in February 2017 at a site in close proximity to the Kilimapesa Hill underground mine and has a designed capacity of 200 tonnes per day. The plant has been uniquely designed to maximise production volumes by incorporating a crusher circuit, mills, a thickener, leach tanks, the existing elution plant as well as a tailings deposition facility.

To support the increased processing capacity, underground workings at Kilimapesa Hill are being prepared to maintain plant throughput at the new plant once fully commissioned.

Alongside this, talks with potential investors or joint venture partners continue, primarily with the aim of procuring additional resources within the region and undertaking exploration drilling to increase the resource on Kilimapesa’s exploration permit.

Kilimapesa has a current mineral resource of 8,715,291 tonnes at 2.40 g/t Au for 671,446 oz Au at a cut-off of 1 g/t. This comprises the Kilimapesa Hill and the Red Ray deposits, both of which are proximal to the processing plant.
