Production levels for alluvial mining contractors in the Manica concession in Mozambique have grown, according to mining company Xtract Resources.
According to the firm, total alluvial mining contractor gold production for the three months ending in June was 13.3 kilos or roughly 427 ounces.
Explorator was responsible for 3.7 kilos of the entire production, worth $0.22 million.
‘Production levels increased during the second quarter of 2021 and continued to increase during the third quarter,’ executive chairman Colin Bird said.
‘We look forward to the contribution of the hard rock mining as the adit advances at Guy Fawkes and mini open-pit commences production at Boa Esperanza.’
‘The Fair Bride project continues to gather pace, with increased optimism for production to commence during the final quarter of 2021.’
