Kidman Resources on track for Burbanks gold production

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Kidman Resources (ASX: KDR) is making steady
progress towards its plan to restart production at the company’s
recently acquired Burbank’s gold mine in Western Australia.

The company said all efforts are currently ahead of schedule and it remains on track to commence gold production in the September Quarter.

Kidman plans to source ore from both the Birthday Gift underground mine and the Christmas open pit, where it recently completed a RC drilling program in and is now awaiting a JORC Compliant Mineral Resource estimate.

The Birthday Gift underground mine has been a hive of activity to prepare it for production with access to the orebody achieved on multiple levels and the commencement of ore stockpiling on a surface ROM pad in readiness for the first milling campaign.

“The focus for the coming months will be to advance the ore and waste headings and establish areas for stoping in subsequent months,” Kidman Resources said in its ASX announcement.

“A number of lodes have been accessed which will provide added flexibility to the production schedule.

“These include the Tailor, Dahmu and the high-grade Jesson lode.”

Kidman has also recommenced decline development from the 1266 level, which will provide diamond drilling platforms to target ore lodes below historical mining levels.

“The decline remains a priority heading and will be advanced in parallel to the ore and waste headings in the upper levels,” the company said.
