Operations
From underground extraction to gold recovery
Bom Jardim operates an integrated on-site sequence: underground extraction, ore handling, processing and gold recovery, supported by site infrastructure. All operating figures are management-reported and approximate.
Process Flow
Integrated on-site sequence
- 01
Underground extraction
Development and stoping in underground workings.
- 02
Ore handling
Underground haulage, hoisting and surface stockpiling.
- 03
Processing
Crushing, milling and concentration at the on-site plant.
- 04
Gold recovery
Concentrate treatment and recovery of gold on site.
- 05
Site infrastructure
Power, water, workshops and support services.
Underground extraction
Extraction is carried out from developed underground workings. Management reports current extraction capability of approximately 30 tonnes per day. The active development program targets extended access, improved ventilation and increased mechanisation to open additional mining fronts and raise sustainable extraction rates.
Ore handling and movement
Material is moved from working faces through underground haulage to surface, where it is stockpiled and fed to the processing circuit. Handling capacity is being reviewed in parallel with mine development so that ore movement does not constrain future throughput.
Processing plant
Ore is treated at the on-site processing facility. The plant carries a design target of approximately 300 tonnes per day; achieving sustained throughput at that level depends on corresponding mine development and consistent ore supply. Present throughput reflects current mine output rather than plant design capacity.
Gold recovery
Gold is recovered on site from processed material. A recent reported operating campaign processed approximately 130 tonnes with approximately 3 kilograms of gold recovered. This figure is management-reported, relates to a single campaign, and should not be extrapolated into production rates, grades or annualised output.
Site infrastructure
The operating base includes power supply, water management, workshops, storage, and accommodation and support facilities for operating teams. Infrastructure upgrades are sequenced alongside underground development and plant works.
Operating Media
Bom Jardim Project Operations
Selected project media documenting underground activity, processing, site infrastructure and recent operations. Imagery of recovered gold documents operating activity and does not represent future production or grade.
