Summary
Manuka Resources Ltd, trading as MKR on the ASX, has announced the restart of gold production at its Wonawinta processing facility. This marks the company's return to precious metals production, with initial gold ore sourced from the Mt Boppy gold mine. Over 50,000 tonnes of Mt Boppy material, grading approximately 1.1g/t Au, have been stockpiled for processing. This production restart follows a comprehensive five-month recommissioning phase, including upgrades to power generation and processing plant components. The restart is a significant milestone for Manuka, as it aims to establish sustained production from its Cobar Basin assets. The company plans to ramp up gold processing while completing installations for silver production, expected to commence in Q4 2026. This involves the introduction of a de-slime circuit to enhance the processing of clay-rich Wonawinta silver ores. The restart of gold production is seen as a key step in the company's broader strategy to expand its production capabilities in both gold and silver.
