Join us as we speak with Roger Jackson, Executive Chair at Vertex Minerals (ASX:VTX), to explore the company’s latest milestone at the Reward Gold Mine: first remote-controlled ore production — an important step toward full-scale operations.
Key topics discussed:
- Remote-controlled ore production: The commissioning of a tele-remote loader enables safe and efficient long-hole stoping, unlocking access to ‘high-grade’ ore zones and boosting early production capacity.
- ‘High-grade’ underground strategy: Reward is a selective, ‘high-grade’ mine targeting 1,000 ounces per month in the next quarter, growing to 2,000 ounces per month with a double-shift operation later in the year.
- Production outlook and development: Decline advancement, new headings, and upcoming air leg mining in ‘high-grade’ stopes set the foundation for a strong 12-month ramp-up, supported by favourable gold prices.
