Hambledon Mining plc is an AIM-listed gold mining and exploration
company, which is operating the Sekisovskoye gold mine and owns the
Ognevka processing plant, both of which are close to Ust Kamenogorsk
in East Kazakhstan.
At Sekisovskoye, the Company is mining from an open pit and is operating an
850,000 tonnes per year treatment plant. Production over the life of
the open pit will average over 40,000 ounces per year. As soon as steady
production has been achieved, the Company plans to develop the much larger
underground resource that is expected to lead to a combined production
rate of around 100,000 ounces per year.
The Ognevka plant has many potential uses for treating primary base and precious
metal ores. The plant is currently on care and maintenance until production
can be economically restarted.
