The refurbished Bluebird processing plant has now been fully commissioned, pouring an 11.76kg gold dore bar mainly from the production of gravity concentrates.

The plant, which started wet commissioning on October 16, is currently operating at more than 200 tonnes per hour and is continuing to be optimised. 

The project is due to produce 200,000 ounces of gold per annum over a 13-year life at all-in sustaining costs of $A1180 an ounce.

It is Metals X’s third operating gold mine behind Higginsville and South Kalgoorlie.
