Executive Summary
The Debarwa Feasibility Study outlines the development of a greenfield mining project by Sunridge Gold Corp. The project is designed to treat 270,000 tons of ore per annum, utilizing three distinct processing flowsheets based on ore type. The mine will operate as an open pit facility, transitioning from copper production to gold and silver production over a multi-year schedule.
Infrastructure development includes a Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) capable of storing 1.2 million tons of tailings and a Water Storage Reservoir (WSR) with a capacity of 420,000 cubic meters. The project schedule targets copper production by month 24 and gold/silver production by month 61, with rehabilitation commencing in month 65.
Processing routes vary by ore type: Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) is crushed and screened for direct shipment; Supergene and Primary ore undergo comminution and sulphide flotation; Oxide and Transition ore are milled and processed via Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) for gold and silver recovery.
