Cadan’s gold production since commencing commissioning on the 7th of November has totalled 6.2kg of gold (Au), and 20kg of silver (Ag) equivalent to 199oz Au and 643oz Ag, at an average grade 1.87g/t Au and 28.7g/t Ag.

Commissioning is ongoing and has taken longer than anticipated, primarily due to the plant construction contractor not meeting agreed refurbishment specifications, timing and key performance milestones. As a result of those delays, in late December 2015 Cadan replaced the contractor and with Cadan’s own plant management team including appointing its own Mill Manager and maintenance contractor MagDrills to manage all mill maintenance. Cadan has observed significant improvements in the performance of the plant since the changes have been made.

The issues with the prior construction contractor has resulted in the planned ramp up of production to the plant design capacity of 200 tonnes per day (tpd) being delayed by approximately 8 weeks. Nonetheless production rates are continuing to increase at a steady rate and plant performance over the last 3 weeks has demonstrated much greater consistency.
