Ndablama


Open pit mining commenced in 2021 and was completed in 2023. All the ore is transported to the plant at New Liberty via a 45km haul road. Mining of the down-dip extension of the mineralization is continued by underground operation, using a drift-and-fill mining methods due to the moderate dips.
