Ora Banda Mining Limited advised that it continues to make significant progress with the ramp up of activities at its Davyhurst Gold Project in Western Australia. Performance improvements have been achieved from a number of top-down, bottom-up measures introduced across drilling, blasting, mining and processing activities. These measures have been aided by improving weather at site - extremely wet weather in July significantly hampered surface mining operations and led to road closures that delayed the delivery of mining fleet to the Missouri mine and the mobile crusher to the Davyhurst plant. The performance of the Davyhurst processing facility has improved following the introduction of deeper material now being mined at Riverina with its improved materials handling properties, coupled with a higher percentage of fresh rock now available for blending. Plant availability has also risen courtesy of a program of rectification measures, including: Power outages: A program of replacing power line insulators has been completed and the earth leakage trip sensitivity of the power station has been decreased, with only one subsequent power outage during a rain event. Additionally, an independent specialist has been engaged to conduct a detailed fault-finding program during the next scheduled maintenance outage. Given the process plant has had rain without losing power, and the Goldfields region is heading into a much drier part of the year, the Company does not envisage any material issues with power supply in the coming quarter. Crusher screen: the Company recently replaced screens in the SKALA double deck unit with softer panels that have higher self-cleaning properties. This has proven to be effective (combined with the increased primary blend) and the screen unit has not subsequently experienced throughput issues. Maintenance: As the processing facility's run time increases, other maintenance related elements have been identified for correction and action plans implemented. Currently, the back end of the plant can run at nameplate capacity, however, the crushing circuit is not yet matching that rate, which is largely being addressed by the additional feed generated via the mobile crushing unit. OBM has ordered different sized screen panels (of the soft variety) to better balance the feed through the crushers in its three-stage circuit which is expected to fully resolve this issue and remove the requirement for the mobile crushing unit.
