Key initiatives include paste backfill, tailings filtration, and plant modernization, aimed at lifting gold recovery toward approximately 96%, unlocking remnant material, and increasing throughput toward and potentially beyond the permitted 10,000 tonnes per day from roughly 8,500 tonnes per day currently.
