By GlobalDataThe high-grade / low-cost Deflector gold project has an initial mine life of six years.
The company acquired the Deflector project following its takeover of Mutiny Gold in February 2015 and approved the development of the mine in May 2015.
Doray Minerals started open-pit mining at its Deflector project in February 2016. It has two gold assets including the Andy Well gold project and the Deflector gold project in Western Australia.
Upon completion of construction and commissioning of the project in mid-2016, the company anticipates about 140,000oz of combined production per annum from Andy Well and Deflector.
The company is also targeting an average all-in sustaining cost of less than A$1,000/oz across the two projects.
