Manuka Resources Limited is an ASX listed resources company involved in exploration, mine development and mine operations. The Company has gold and silver assets in the Cobar Basin in central west New South Wales-including the Wonawinta and Mt Boppy mines, together with a large vanadium rich iron sands project in New Zealand.
The Company is strongly committed to near mine and regional exploration and already have identified future open cut deposits to be developed and is currently undertaking work associated with developing underground operations at Mt Boppy- which historically has been one of NSW's richest gold mines.
The Wonawinta Silver Project is located approximately 100 kilometres south of Cobar and the Company is scheduling for processing operations to commence by mid-****. This provides for a 5-6-month program to refurbish and upgrade the existing Wonawinta processing plant. The upgrade includes adding a front end deslime and dewatering circuit to increase mill throughput and improve overall leaching performance whilst the refurbishment is focused on achieving operational readiness of the existing ball milling, leaching, absorption and elution circuits. The processing plant will process in excess of 1.2 mtpa and at this time has a minimum 10 year mine life.
For the first two years of operations the Company will be transporting around 13,000 tonnes per month of gold ore from rock dumps and stockpiles from the Mt Boppy Gold Project, to blend in with the silver ore being mined from the Wonawinta open cut pits.
The sites total workforce will be in excess of 150 personnel made up of company employees and contractors. Employees work at Wonawinta on a drive in/drive out basis. The site has a well-established and comfortable camp at the site.
