Jugan Pilot Plant equipment enroute

Besra Gold Inc is very pleased to advise that the second and final batch of processing equipment for the Jugan Pilot Plant has been completed by Yantai Jinpeng Mining Machinery Co Ltd (Yantai) of China.

This equipment has been inspected, containerised into 7 shipping containers and loaded onto a vessel that is due to arrive at the Kuching Port in Sarawak on 26 July 2024.

Subject to obtaining final regulatory approval, the pilot plant will be constructed, processing equipment installed, tested and commissioned in conjunction with Yantai. In addition, Yantai will provide comprehensive onsite operational training and support for Besra’s personnel.

The pilot plant is based on an initial nominal capacity of 50 tonnes per day and will trial various batch processing combinations in order to develop optimal protocols for processing the Jugan refractory ore to produce a concentrate for further processing, including doré. As such, these trial results will form an important component of the overall definitive feasibility study for future commercialisation.

In conjunction with the local authorities, management will endeavour to establish a definitive timetable to ensure that the commissioning of the pilot plant occurs as a soon as practicable.

This announcement was authorised for release by Mr Kenny Lee (Executive Director).
