“ We ’ re planning to grow gradually ,” says Keating . “ Our goal by the end of 2015 or early 2016 is 600 tons of gold a day .”
Currently , the company has a 95 percent recovery from its milling plant and will continue upgrading its facilities to maximize gold production .
“ We ’ ve had some early test indicators that show our recovery mill can improve from 95 percent to 99 percent of recovery ,” says Keating . “ We want to continue to improve on that ”
The Dufferin gold mine is a prime example of how Ressources Appalaches is working to bring gold mining back to Nova Scotia .
“ The Dufferin mine shows we can step up to the plate and make an operation viable ,” says Keating .
