NEW LUIKA GOLD MINE

The low-cost New Luika Gold Mine, which is located in the Songwe District of South Western Tanzania approximately 700km south-west of Dar es Salaam, achieved its first commercial production in 2012.

The ore bodies at New Luika comprise high grade (>6 grammes per tonne of gold), medium grade (3 – 6 grammes per tonne of gold) and low grade (1 – 3 grammes per tonne of gold) ore which average 3.9 grammes per tonne of gold.

The processing is metallurgically simple and conventional involving proven crushing and milling techniques with carbon-in-leach gold extraction delivering robust gold recoveries (average 91% recovery).

The high quality of the resources combined with tight operational control, makes New Luika one of the lowest cost gold mines in its peer group and on the global cost curve.
