Turning Waste into Revenue
Great Western’s 50:50 processing joint venture, Western Milling LLC, is focused on recovering gold and silver from historic mine tailings and stockpiles, while also offering toll treatment of third-party ore. The operation is underpinned by a JORC-compliant Inferred Resource of 31,000 tonnes @ 1.6 g/t Au and 3.0 g/t Ag in Olympic’s tailings, alongside a significant stockpile of unprocessed ore.
The processing mill has been constructed and is currently at the pre-commissioning stage, with all necessary permits secured. An experienced engineering team has been identified to oversee operations, and an external funding initiative is underway to support the ramp-up. Cash flow is expected from toll processing and the recovery of metals from the joint venture partners’ own material.
