Highlights

  • Horizon Minerals progresses Prefeasibility Study for Black Swan.
  • Refurbishment plans target gold carbon-in-lead processing.
  • Project aligns with strategic growth in Kalgoorlie Goldfields region.

Horizon Minerals (ASX:HRZ) is progressing the Prefeasibility Study (PFS) for its Black Swan Project in Western Australia. As part of the ASX 200 companies group evaluating significant growth projects, Horizon is focused on transforming the former nickel operation into a fully operational gold production hub. The PFS is designed to provide detailed technical and economic analysis to support future project decisions.

Plant Refurbishment and Processing Upgrades

GR Engineering Services is leading the refurbishment of the existing comminution circuit and introducing a gold carbon-in-lead processing facility. The plant upgrades have been designed to optimize throughput while maintaining product quality. Detailed process flow diagrams, equipment specifications, and electrical load lists have been finalized, providing a strong technical foundation for the project.

Strategic Location in Kalgoorlie Goldfields

The Black Swan Project’s location offers proximity to Horizon Minerals’ broader gold resources. The landholding includes significant gold deposits, making the site ideal for expansion. The merger with Poseidon Nickel previously highlighted the advantage of leveraging existing infrastructure for gold production, minimizing development time while maximizing operational efficiency.

Advancing Toward Investment Decisions

Completion of the PFS will allow Horizon Minerals to evaluate the conversion of Black Swan into a dedicated gold plant. Once the study and related scoping evaluations are finalized, the company can make an informed decision regarding construction and operational planning. This step represents a critical milestone in Horizon Minerals’ growth strategy as an independent mid-tier gold producer.

Positive Market Context for Gold Production

The project comes at a time when gold prices reflect growing investor interest amid global uncertainties. The strategic timing of the Black Swan Project’s development ensures alignment with market conditions, further supporting the company’s long-term objectives in the Kalgoorlie Goldfields region.
