Black Cat Syndicate (BC8) has exercised an option arrangement to acquire a significant milling facility for the Kal East Gold Project.
The 1.5-million-metric-tonne-per-year facility is comprised of two mills, and is expected to set the company back $1.24 million, of which Black Cat has paid $100,000 so far.
Black Cat has laid plans to construct a processing facility at the Kal East Gold Project this year, set to be located near the Imperial/Majestic deposits, approximately 50 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie.
In terms of payment, Black Cat will need to cough up $1 million within 14 days from the exercise data and a further $100,000 of the full removal of the equipment and infrastructure.
Black Cat’s Managing Director Gareth Solly said the company is currently estimating the impact the facility has on its construction schedule and costs.
One mill will be installed initially with the second reserved for future milling capacity extension.
According to the company, the traditionally configured gravity and carbon-in-leach (CIL) gold plant will be ideally suited to Black Cat’s deposits and potentially any third-party free milling ores in the region.
Equipment also included within the option includes infrastructure surrounding the mills such as steel columns, floor grating and stairs, motors pipe work and other ancillary equipment.
