Artemis Resources building a mining future around the Radio Hill plant

Artemis Resources Ltd (ASX:ARV) continues to advance construction of its 100% owned Radio Hill processing plant in Western Australia.

Since commencing construction works on 20 August 2018, a number of items have been completed including the refurbishment of the crushing circuit.

Artemis’ CEO Wayne Bramwell said: “After the initial delay associated with approvals, the construction and refurbishment work associated with the gold circuit will be completed next quarter.

“The installation of this gold circuit at Radio Hill is stage I of our strategic plan and begins the process to expand the multi-metal capability of the Radio Hill Operations.”

Work programs to date

In November 2017 Artemis appointed Process 26 Engineers and Constructors to refurbish and upgrade the existing Radio Hill crushing and grinding circuits.

Construction activities commenced 20 August 2018 to upgrade the facility with the installation of additional crushing equipment, tailings dewatering facilities and a gold room.

Gekko Systems were also mobilised to install and commission the gravity gold extraction circuit.

The crushing circuit refurbishment program is complete including the installation of the gold circuit by Gekko.

Works have commenced on the milling and classification area as well as internal plant electrical works.
