The Fosterville Mine is a high-grade, low cost underground gold mine, located 20km from the town of Bendigo, Australia. It is the largest gold producer in the state of Victoria, Australia. The Fosterville Mine features extensive district scale exploration potential and low cost production. The mine is located in an area with well-developed infrastructure and is accessible by paved roads. Fosterville’s ore is processed at the mine’s ~830,000 tonnes per year mill. The processing path for the ore involves crushing and grinding followed by flotation, bacterial oxidation and CIL circuits. The modern sulphide treatment plant is one of the world's leading BIOX systems and has achieved record recoveries. Fosterville commenced production in April 2005 and poured its one millionth ounce of gold in January 2016, representing an important milestone of safe and sustainable production at the mine.

yes thanks mate aware of fosterville. the swan zone was running 30-60g/t so I'd say that was coming out of the gravity circuit rather than the biox plant.

so that is the only biox plant operating in Oz? why do you think Wiluna didn't restart its biox plant? or other refractory deposits build their own one?
