Ramelius Resources Ltd has announced a new 17-year, 2.1Moz mine plan for its Mt Magnet operations, representing a 37% increase from the previous plan.

The company also plans a A$95M upgrade to the Mt Magnet mill to increase throughput up to 3Mtpa capacity, reducing operating costs. Ramelius remains focused on delivering these new projects on time and budget.
The company expects to generate significant pre-tax cash flow of A$2.5Bn at A$3,500/oz and A$4.3Bn at A$4,500/oz gold price over the 17-year mine plan period.
