Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV) has commenced construction work to upgrade of the processing plant at its Hillgrove Project in New South Wales.
The company has employed MACA-Interquip-Mintrex (MIQM) for the engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) role within the construction phase.
Larvotto is focusing on secondary crushing and tailings filtration to reduce interface risks and to ensure complex activities are advanced at a timely pace.
Secondary crushing and tailings filtration activities are expected to progress through to October, while the company intends to commence detailed civil works to deliver in parallel.
Managing Director Ron Heeks says the partnership with MIQM will play a key role in ensuring the Hillgrove plant upgrade is correctly delivered.
“The construction program will carry us through to mid-2026, culminating in commissioning and the restart of production,” Heeks says.
“As the world looks for secure and sustainable supply of critical minerals, Hillgrove is on course to reemerge as a strategic Western supplier of antimony, in addition to gold, with both commodities currently trading at record prices.”
Larvotto intends to deliver 40,500 ounces of gold and 4,878 tonnes of antimony each year from the Hillgrove Project.
Larvotto Resources is a mineral explorer focused on advancing its portfolio of assets in New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia.
