''Drilling to-date indicates the gold mineralisation may widen at depth.
When the Cascavel mine was initially commissioned in 2016, it failed to recover economic levels of gold. A subsequent review found the gravity circuit that had been installed was not suited to processing the unique Cascavel gold mineralisation.
Late last year, Orinoco took a “back to basics” approach and installed a hammer mill to crush the ore into smaller particles to facilitate larger gold recoveries.
Since then, hammer mill trials have consistently generated high-grade gold.
During the June quarter, hammer mill three was commissioned, with Orinoco mining 3,781t to produce 219.53 ounces of gold.''
