Larvotto Resources starts staged commissioning at its Hillgrove antimony-gold plant in New South Wales as it moves closer to production. Multiple outlets report that the company has initiated the commissioning process, including the handling of ore from its Metz underground operation. The first crushed ore produced from the Metz underground is reported to have progressed to fine ore storage as part of the staged start-up activities.

The reports describe this phase as a step toward ramping up operations rather than full commercial production. The commissioning work includes progressing through plant systems and material handling stages to prepare for more regular processing. By sending the first crushed material into fine ore storage, Larvotto signals that key parts of the processing chain are being tested and brought online in sequence.

The outlets provide a consistent account of the location and plant type, the company involved, and the specific commissioning milestone reached during the early start-up phase.
