The plant arrived ahead of schedule and the start of assembly is on course for October 2025.
The company said that mine development earthworks, relating to the plant and the mine industrial area, are 95% complete, with the run-of-mine (ROM) pad being finalised.
Construction of site buildings and infrastructure is underway following the agreed “decamping of all artisanal miners from the project site and pit area”.
Chief executive officer Darren Bowden added that gold production was still due to start by the final quarter of 2026.
