Weaju


Only Underground Operation on going at this site.Construction of the Weaju underground portal and support facilities commenced in 2022. Ore production from the underground operations started in 2023, with all the ore being transported to the New Liberty processing plant.

Mining of the Weaju mineralisation is conducted using a combination of transverse & longitudinal sublevel stoping and Cut&Fill mining methods due to the varying dips in the folded orebody. Mining of the down-dip extension of the mineralization will continue by underground operation.
