Russian Gold Output Up 16%

MOSCOW (Prime-Tass) -- Gold production is expected to jump nearly 17 percent this year to 180 metric tons, Vladimir Rybkin, the deputy head of Gokhran, the state depository of precious metals, said Tuesday. Gokhran had expected production to total 175 tons. As of Sept. 1, 108.2 tons had been produced, up 16 percent year on year

The fall was mainly the result of declining production in Indonesia and the United States, which offset rising output in other countries such as Russia and Peru. GFMS managing director Philip Klapwijk said the fall in output at the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, the world's largest single gold-producing mine, was largely temporary and global mine output could pick up slightly next year.

Australia has some very large open pits. One runs in Kalgoorlie at 230,000 tons waste and ore per day and 850,000 ounces gold per year. Its stripping ratio is 6 to one or better and its gold is refractory. It is full milling and tank leach. Kalgoorlie Conslidated is under Newmont-Barrick.
