In 2008 Golden Grove produced 139,900 tonnes of zinc, 18,467 tonnes of copper, 47,755 ounces of gold, 3,157,837 ounces silver and 13,330 tonnes of lead. Zinc production was well above forecasts and mainly the result of high zinc grades and increased throughput in the December quarter. In 2009 mine scheduling will see reduced zinc production and higher copper production. The nature of the Golden Grove polymetallic mine gives capability to vary the mix of copper and zinc produced in 2009.
Production (contained metal in concentrate) for 2009 is planned to be 55,000 to 60,000 tonnes of zinc, 40,000 to 45,000 tonnes of copper, 28,000 to 34,000 ounces of gold, 1.1 to 1.6 million ounces of silver and 4,000 to 6,000 tonnes of lead.
