Matsa Resources Limited (ASX: MAT) has reported that their Red Dog gold mine, 25km west of Matsa’s Fortitude Gold Mine, will produce a surplus of $5.4m over a period of 3 months. The cash surplus includes the haulage of gold ore to AngloGold Ashanti Australia’s (AGAA) Sunrise Dam Gold Mine (SGDM) treatment facilities. Mining at the Red Dog Gold Mine will commence as soon as possible without the need to raise additional capital.
With all the statutory and regulation approvals in place, the mining will take place over an 8-9 week period with the recovery of 13,400 ounces of gold. The finalisation of contracts with AGAA and SDGM are underway with an additional two months being added to the schedule to account for haulage and rehabilitation. By conducting further mining on the Red Dog Mine, there is not only the chance to create a low-risk cash surplus but the opportunity to learn about the geological control of the mine to assist with future exploration.
