Wiluna Mining Corporation Limited provided an update on ramp-up production of gold concentrate at its Wiluna Mine. The commissioning of the concentrator took place in December 2021. This commissioning was successful and the ramp-up to commercial production effectively commenced on 1 January 2022 and was expected to take approximately six months to achieve commercial production of approximately 8,000 ounces per month.

WMC's WilTails treatment facility was expected to commission in February 2022 and add approximately 1,250 ounces of production per month with minimal ramp-up time. Due to already reported COVID-related supply constraints that further reduced skilled labor availability, and delayed approvals that have now been received, WilTails commissioning has been delayed until late May 2022 with full production expected by July 2022. Upon achieving full commercial production, the concentrator and WilTails (Stage 1) are expected to produce 110k-115kozpa.
