Bulyanhulu Gold Mine Overview

Bulyanhulu is a narrow-vein gold mine containing gold, silver and copper mineralisation in sulphides. The mineralisation of Bulyanhulu is associated with steeply-dipping reefs. The current Life of mine is currently estimated to be more than 30 years, based on its proven and probable gold reserves of 9.5 million ounces.
Bulyanhulu is an underground mine with shaft and ramp access, which is transitioning to long-hole as its principal mining method.
The process plant currently has capacity to process an average of 3,300 tonnes of ore per day, (or c. 1.1 million tonnes per year) and produces both doré and copper/gold concentrate.
In 2014 a 2.4 million tonnes per year carbon in leach circuit was added to the process plant to re-process tailings.
