Aureus Mining reported on July 20 that the process plant at its New Liberty gold project in Liberia had reached nameplate capacity following a successful period of commissioning. The plant underwent a 24-hour period of performance testing, during which it operated at a feed rate of 152 metric tons per hour (mt/h) of run-of-mine ore at a plant availability of 96%. Aureus issued a certificate of performance test completion to the engineering, procurement, construction and management (EPCM) contractor, DRA Mineral Projects. New Liberty poured its first gold in May. Its first shipment of gold dore was scheduled to be transported from the mine to MKS PAMP in Switzerland for refining by the end of July.
