Galane Gold CEO, Nick Brodie commented: "Galaxy continues its positive progress with tonnes mined, ounces produced and financial performance all improving from the previous quarter. We expect to shortly be announcing that we have commenced commercial production at Galaxy(1).
Production at Mupane has been stabilised with the installation of a reconditioned transformer, replacement of the jaw crusher and the mining contractor supplementing their fleet. The challenge for the management team now is to increase production at Mupane back to previous levels and we are working hard on plans to achieve this.
Our review of our Summit property and our plans for the recommencement of production continue. We have completed a re-survey of the underground mine and are now working on updated mine plans. We have also started a comprehensive review of the Banner Mill to accurately ascertain the restart costs and look at ways of expanding production(1).
We expect to provide an update to the market on all of our operations and our plans for 2022 in December."
