Deccan Gold Mines Ltd. announced the successful production of its first gold doré at the Altyn Tor Gold Project in Kyrgyzstan, describing the achievement as a key milestone in its transition from an explorer to a gold producer, as per the exchange filings.
The company processed a batch of gravity circuit concentrate through its newly installed Intensive Leach System (ILS) as part of a proof-of-concept run.
Gold recovered from the leach solution was processed using the Merrill-Crowe method before being smelted into gold doré.
According to the company, the exercise confirmed that the metallurgical recovery achieved during laboratory testing can be replicated under live operating conditions, reducing execution risk for the project as it moves towards full-scale commercialisation.
Managing Director Dr. Hanuma Prasad Modali said the successful production of the first gold doré validates the complete processing flowsheet from gravity concentration and intensive leaching to gold recovery and doré production.
He added that the achievement strengthens confidence in the project's commercial potential and the company's strategy of building a diversified portfolio of producing gold and critical mineral assets.
Deccan Gold holds a 60% stake in Avelum Partners LLC, the developer and operator of the Altyn Tor Gold Project, making it the first investment by an Indian mining and exploration company in Kyrgyzstan. The project currently hosts an estimated 180,000 ounces (5.6 tonnes) of gold in mineral resources.
The processing plant is being upgraded with gravity and leaching circuits, while ongoing drilling has identified extensions of the deposit beyond the current pit design. The company plans to update mineral resources and prepare a revised life-of-mine plan for regulatory approval.
