Medusa Mining: gold production at Co-O unimpeded by shaft fire, no injuries

The production guidance of 100,000 to 120,000 ounces of gold for this financial year remains intact The production guidance of 100,000 to 120,000 ounces of gold for this financial year remains intact

nancial year remains intact as it reported that a shaft at its flagship Co-O project in the Philippines will require refurbishment after fire damage.

In order to offset the temporary loss of production from the Baguio shaft, the company will utilise its fines stockpiles from the mine water settling ponds as well as a second ball mill, it told investors.

On Saturday, during welding works, a fire broke out which damaged approximately 120 metres of timbering from Level 2 to surface. Nobody was injured.

Medusa has started preparations for the re-timbering and re-engineering of the Baguio shaft which is expected to take three months. Once refurbished, the shaft will be capable of operating at higher haulage speeds with additional capacity.

The immediate processing of existing stockpiles with average grades of around 3 grams per ton gold will offset the lost production from Baguio shaft, which hauls on average approximately 250 tonnes per day. 

The production guidance of 100,000 to 120,000 ounces for this financial year remains intact.

Managing director Peter Hepburn-Brown said: "Whilst it is never pleasant to have any disruptions to production, the upside of re-furbishing the Baguio shaft by re-timbering and re-engineering will mean a more efficient, high speed shaft with additional capacity which will better service the western end of the mine as we continue to develop more ore sources.

“Not only are we fortunate that no injuries were sustained in the fire, we are fortunate to have stockpiles of fines from our mine water settling ponds, as well as a second ball mill that we can utilise to off-set the temporary loss of production from the Baguio shaft while it is out of action," he added.
