CSE - Canadian National Stock Exchange ยท Canada
TORONTO, Feb. 5 /CNW/ - Goldbelt Resources Ltd. (TSXV: GLD) is pleased to announce that it has bought the Brocks Creek Plant. All terms of the purchase of the processing plant for the Inata Gold Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa were completed in December, 2006 and the process of determining the costs and timetables to refurbish the plant to bring the equipment to "as new" condition has been completed. Preparations for the subsequent dismantling, relocation and refurbishment have now begun.
All equipment on site at the plant has recently been subject to extensive review by GBM Metals Engineering Consultants, who have outlined a dismantling program scheduled to begin in late April/May 2007, to coincide with the end of the wet season. The engineers' scope of work was to determine the work needed and costs associated with the refurbishment required to the plant. Preliminary reports indicate that the equipment is in better condition than originally anticipated, resulting in a reduction in both cost and time required to complete the refurbishment. In line with the final recommendations from the engineers, it is now being determined which auxiliary parts of the structure will be re-used, and which will be sold.
Ongoing work at Belahouro includes a recent re-design of the dam structure which will be providing process water to the mill. Initial results indicate that the dam's wall can be reduced in length from 4.5km to approximately 2.5km with associated cost savings. Geotechnical reviews of the plant site, camp and access road are in progress.
Goldbelt is expecting an updated reserve/resource evaluation on the Inata Gold Project to be completed in March, which will incorporate the +35,000m of drilling undertaken in 2006.
