Greatland Gold has celebrated its first gold pour at the Telfer gold-copper mine, a pivotal achievement in the company’s journey.
The milestone occurred on December 4, shortly after Greatland finalized its acquisition of Telfer and the adjacent Havieron project from Newmont.
Before the acquisition, operations at Telfer were scaled back to a single 10-million-tonne-per-annum (Mtpa) processing train to preserve ore for Greatland’s use post-acquisition. Following the transaction, the company resumed dual-train processing, significantly enhancing capacity.
Greatland has inherited between 30.5 and 34.5 million tonnes of stockpiles, including approximately 11.5 million tonnes of high-grade ore. Mining continues in the west dome open pit and the main dome underground areas.
