ASX-listed junior Westgold Resources has started openpit mining and the wet commissioning of the refurbished one-million tonne a year gold plant at its Fortnum gold project, in Western Australia.
The Metals X spin-off on Thursday said that the plant was currently being fed from existing low-grade ore stockpiles, which would provide an initial 12 months of feed, with ore from the planned cutbacks to the existing openpits to slowly replace the lower-grade stocks.
