Gold miner Akobo Minerals has successfully produced the first gold concentrate at its Segele processing plant, in Ethiopia.

The company started processing low-grade gold ore following a final phase of commissioning at the plant, which validated its functionality under operational conditions.

The company is testing and optimising the processing plant’s capabilities using low-grade ore, as part of its measured approach toward achieving full production from higher-grade ore.

The Segele site currently has an inferred and indicated mineral resource of 68 000 oz, yielding a significant grade of 22.7 g/t.

The plant is able to produce 4 000 oz of gold a month, at an expected recovery rate of 96%.

Its modular design allows for future upgrades as the Segele mine and other adjacent targets are developed, ensuring the plant remains adaptable to evolving operational needs.
