REHABILITATION UPDATE

In 2019, WIM excavated a test pit at the proposed mine site near Dooen. In late 2019, a demonstration scale processing plant was constructed on site and over approximately six months, WIM processed a large sample of ore. The trials were very successful in demonstrating that the Avonbank Project ore body can be mined using standard equipment and using standard wet gravity processing.

In early 2021, WIM rehabilitated the test pit. A crop was seeded over the test pit area by a local landholder as part of their regular cropping program. Longerenong College Students continue their research efforts at the test pit site, under a partnership with WIM and WIM continues with a range of other studies on the site.
