Akobo Minerals AB (publ) has announced the successful processing of the first low-grade ore at the Segele processing plant, resulting in the production of the first gold concentrate. This achievement marks the final phase of the commissioning of the processing plant, validating its functionality under operational conditions. It is important to note that the ore processed is from the low-grade development phase of Westen Winze and does not represent high-grade material.
The Company continues to focus on testing and optimising plant capacity with low-grade ore, as part of its measured approach towards full production. The gradual ramp-up of production remains a strategic priority, reflecting the Company’s deliberate efforts to ensure operational stability and efficiency. In parallel, development work at the Eastern Winze is progressing, including the development of the lateral shaft to the Westen Winze.
While acknowledging the early stages of this process, Akobo Minerals anticipates continued progress in plant optimization and operational readiness for future phases, including the introduction of higher grade ores. Akobo Minerals continues to work with its partners to improve system efficiency and increase production capacity in the coming months.
