Deccan Gold Mines Limited informed the exchanges that pre-commissioning trials have commenced at its Altyn Tor Gold Project in Kyrgyzstan. Subject to weather conditions, the trials will be conducted sequentially over the next few months, beginning with the crushing, grinding and gravity concentration circuits, followed by the leaching circuit.
The pre-production trials are a precursor to progressive commissioning of the process plant. During this period, we expect to process between 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes of ore with a grade slightly over 1.0 g/t Au. Gold recovered during the pre-commissioning trials will be produced as a saleable concentrate or doré bars.
This marks an important milestone on the road to full-scale gold production at the mine site.
In other areas, the mining team have completed the targeted mined volume for the year and results from samples collected from the recent resource drilling programme are expected in the next few weeks.
Deccan Gold Managing Director, Hanuma Prasad Modali says of the milestone: “The pre-commissioning trials at Altyn Tor mark a defining step forward for Deccan Gold. The project’s steady progress toward creating lasting value strengthens India’s footprint in the global gold mining landscape. As the first Indian mining company in Kyrgyzstan, we remain focused on responsible growth, operational excellence and building a model for cross-border collaboration that benefits both nations.”
Deccan Gold Mines Limited shares closed at ₹86.95 on Friday, December 19.
