What's Happening?
Black Cat Syndicate has commenced underground mining at the Majestic deposit, part of the Kal East Gold Operation. Located near Kalgoorlie, the project aims to produce approximately 80,000 ounces of gold. The company has contracted Macmahon Underground for development and production services. Initial production targets include 776 kilo tonnes with a gold grade of 3.2g/t. Black Cat plans to expand resources through underground drilling, which remains open at depth and along strike. The project also involves installing dewatering infrastructure and portal support.
Why It's Important?
The initiation of underground mining at Majestic is a strategic move for Black Cat Syndicate, potentially increasing gold production and enhancing resource estimates. This development could bolster the company's position in the gold market, providing a stable supply to the Lakewood processing facility. The expansion of resources through drilling may lead to increased reserves, offering economic benefits and strengthening the company's market presence. The project aligns with Black Cat's strategy to deliver more gold sooner, impacting stakeholders and investors.
What's Next?
Black Cat Syndicate plans to commence underground drilling to extend resources and improve grade control. The company is also advancing other service components for the project, ensuring long-term operational stability. As mining operations progress, Black Cat may explore further expansion opportunities, potentially increasing its holdings and resource estimates. Stakeholders will likely monitor the project's development and its impact on gold production and market dynamics.
