Ms Adrianna Skok-Muir joins as Group Mining Engineer to oversee the Life of Mine plan Feasibility Study for the Black Swan processing plant.

With over 25 years of experience, she specialises in mining engineering and project management across open pit and underground operations, focusing on nickel and gold in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.

Previously with South32, Iluka Resources, and others, she holds a Masters in Mine Planning and Design and a WA First Class Mine Managers Certificate.

Mr Dirk Richards, appointed Project Manager, will lead the refurbishment of the Black Swan plant into a gold processing facility.

With 30 years of experience in mineral processing and project management, Dirk has worked with Newmont, Newcrest, and RPM Global.

Operationally, Horizon achieved a milestone with its first gold pour on February 24, 2025, at the Phillips Find Gold Project, under a Toll Milling Agreement with FMR Investment Greenfields Mill.

The agreement covers processing 200,000 tonnes of ore from February to June 2025.

The project’s development was approved in August 2024, followed by a joint venture with BML Ventures Pty Limited to mine two open pits, Newhaven and Newminster.

Processing began on February 19 with a 40,000-tonne stockpile, expected to conclude within two weeks.

This initial pour marks the start of a significant production phase, leveraging the expertise of Horizon’s new appointees to optimise operations.

The company aims to build on this momentum, aligning the Phillips Find output with plans to repurpose the Black Swan plant, strengthening its position in the gold sector.

These developments underscore Horizon’s commitment to operational excellence and resource expansion, supported by seasoned professionals and strategic partnerships.
