Ndablama

Ndablama Open pit mining commenced in 2021 and was completed in 2023. At Ndablama Gold mine, Leopard Rock open-pit Operations was started in 2024.
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 will continue by underground operation, using a drift-and-fill mining methods due to the moderate dips.
