Kaiser Reef Limited (ASX:KAU) Achieves First Toll Treatment Agreement
Toll Treatment Agreement
Kaiser Reef Limited has successfully received its first trial delivery of third-party ore for treatment at its Maldon gold processing plant. The company is currently in discussions with additional potential toll treatment parties, aiming to establish itself as Victoria’s preferred toll treatment facility.
Production Enhancement Initiatives
Kaiser is focused on advancing the Nova Project while modernising access to unmined regions. The processing facility is operating at approximately 20% of its capacity, with ongoing upgrades to improve cash flow and gold recovery. The newly commissioned gravity circuit at Maldon is capturing around 50% of the gold from the lower-grade ore currently processed, contributing to overall recoveries estimated at 94.5%.
Operational Efficiency Improvements
The successful implementation of the Wolff Batch Centrifugal Concentrator Gravity Circuit highlights Kaiser Reef’s commitment to enhancing operational efficiency. This method effectively reduces gold recirculation within the system, thereby decreasing cyanide consumption by 50%. These upgrades are an integral part of Kaiser’s broader strategy to elevate production and cash flow from its Victorian gold projects, especially the A1 Gold Mine.
Executive Insights
CEO Jonathan Downes remarked, “These advancements position Kaiser Reef for significant growth as we leverage our capabilities to treat third-party ore while enhancing our internal production. Our focus remains firmly on increasing operational output and establishing a strong market presence.”
