The Goose Undertaking is at the moment permitted for mill throughput of as much as 6,000 tpd, so no modification to the Undertaking Certificates could be required if the Firm pursues the mill throughput enlargement. The outcomes of those research are anticipated to be finalized in late 2025 / early 2026. As soon as the research are accomplished, the Firm will consider the economics of every choice and pursue the specified selection.
Gramalote Undertaking Improvement
The Gramalote Undertaking is positioned in central Colombia, roughly 230 km northwest of Bogota and 100 km northeast of Medellin, within the Province of Antioquia, which has expressed a constructive perspective in direction of the event of accountable mining initiatives within the area.
Following consolidation of the possession, B2Gold accomplished an in depth evaluation of the Gramalote Undertaking, together with the higher-grade core of the useful resource, facility dimension and placement, energy provide, mining and processing choices, tailings design, resettlement, potential development sequencing and camp design to determine potential value financial savings to develop a medium-scale mission. The outcomes of the evaluation allowed the Firm to find out the optimum parameters and assumptions for the Gramalote PEA, the outcomes of which had been introduced on June 18, 2024. Primarily based on the constructive outcomes from the PEA, B2Gold believes that the Gramalote Undertaking has the potential to develop into a medium-scale, low-cost open pit gold mine and accredited the graduation of a feasibility research.
B2Gold is progressing the feasibility work with the aim of finishing a feasibility research by mid-2025. Because of the work accomplished for earlier research, the work remaining to finalize a feasibility research for the up to date medium-scale mission isn’t intensive. The principle work applications for the feasibility research embrace geotechnical and environmental web site investigations for the processing plant and waste dump footprints, in addition to capital and working value estimates.
The Gramalote Undertaking will proceed to advance resettlement applications, set up coexistence applications for small miners, work on well being, security and environmental initiatives and proceed to work with the federal government and native communities on social applications.
Because of the desired modifications to the processing plant and infrastructure places, a Modified Environmental Impression Research is required. B2Gold has commenced work on the modifications to the Environmental Impression Research and anticipate it to be accomplished and submitted shortly following the completion of the feasibility research. If the ultimate economics of the feasibility research are constructive and B2Gold makes the choice to develop the Gramalote Undertaking as an open pit gold mine, B2Gold would make the most of its confirmed inside mine development workforce to construct the mine and mill amenities.
