Westgold Resources says it will reassess its expansion plans for the Higginsville processing plant after announcing a maiden ore reserve at a nearby deposit and upgrading an associated resource.
The company reports that it has identified a maiden ore reserve for the Fletcher zone at its Beta Hunt operation. In parallel, Westgold increases the mineral resource estimate for Fletcher, which supports further evaluation of how much ore the Higginsville mill could process over coming years.
Both outlets describe the same decision and trigger: with Fletcher now supported by reserve and resource figures, Westgold revisits whether the Higginsville plant should expand further. The specific size or timeline of any proposed expansion is not detailed in the provided accounts, but the review is framed as a next step following the new geological and estimation work.
