The Australian-made Gekko plant, which is modular and mounted on containerised elements, has a 30t per hour capacity. It is scalable to a Gekko Python plant which has a processing capacity of 250 tph.

Due to the mobility associated with the modular construction, Classic will be able to locate the plant next to the ore body which further minimises cartage and processing costs.

The two-stage gravity concentration plant from Gekko will form the basis of the processing facility to be set up and operated by Classic at its Kat Gap gold deposit.

At present, Classic is on track to set-up, commission and test the Gekko plant and will also commence processing of the gold rich ore at Kat Gap.
