Ora Banda Claims the Crown – goldsilverpress

The Davyhurst processing plant, located in the heart of Western Australia, is set to play a pivotal role in the future of Ora Banda Mining. With the recent milestone achieved at the Sand King gold mine, the company is on a trajectory to significantly increase its gold production, marking an exciting chapter in its operational history.

Sand King Gold Mine: A Milestone Achievement

Ora Banda’s Sand King gold mine has recently celebrated a significant achievement: the intersection of its first ore just four months after the establishment of the portal. This rapid progression underscores the efficiency and determination of the Ora Banda team, as they work diligently to bring this project to fruition. The Sand King mine is an integral part of the broader Davyhurst gold project, which aims to bolster the company’s production capabilities.

Production Goals and Future Outlook

The Sand King mine is expected to be a key contributor to Ora Banda’s ambitious production targets. The company has set an annual production outlook of 140,000 to 160,000 ounces of gold for the financial year 2025-26 (FY26). The successful intersection of first ore positions the mine to deliver its first stoping ore in the March 2025 quarter, with steady-state production anticipated to commence in the June quarter. This timeline is crucial for meeting the company’s production goals and enhancing its market position.

Insights from Leadership

Luke Creagh, managing director of Ora Banda, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the rapid achievement of the first ore milestone. He noted, “Reaching first ore at the Sand King underground mine is exciting, especially considering that this milestone has been achieved less than four months after establishing the portal, and 14 months after the first drill hole targeting underground was completed.” This statement reflects the company’s commitment to operational excellence and its strategic focus on unlocking the full potential of the Sand King mineralised system.

Ongoing Drilling and Exploration

Currently, underground drilling for grade control is actively underway at Sand King. The drilling rig has completed an impressive 5,477 meters of the planned 45,400-meter program. This ongoing exploration is critical for confirming and extending known mineralisation, ensuring that the mine can operate at optimal capacity. As the production of gold ounces from Sand King increases month-on-month, the company is poised for a robust second half of the financial year.

A Combined Production Strategy

The combination of high-grade ore from both the Riverina and Sand King mines is expected to deliver a significant enhancement to Ora Banda’s production profile and cash flows. This strategic approach not only diversifies the company’s resource base but also positions it for sustained growth in the competitive gold mining sector. Creagh emphasized the importance of this synergy, stating, “The combination of Riverina and Sand King high-grade ore delivers a step change to our production profile and cashflows.”

Conclusion: A Bright Future Ahead

As Ora Banda Mining continues to advance its operations at the Davyhurst processing plant and the Sand King mine, the future looks promising. With ambitious production targets, ongoing exploration, and a commitment to operational excellence, the company is well-positioned to make a significant impact in the gold mining industry. Stakeholders and investors alike will be watching closely as Ora Banda embarks on this exciting journey, poised to unlock the full potential of its mineral resources.
