Notes
Scotgold Resources Ltd (AIM:SGZ), is Scotland's first commercial
gold producer. The Company poured first gold in November 2020 at
its Cononish Gold and Silver Mine ('Cononish) in Tyndrum, Scotland
and is developing it into a +23,500-ounce gold mine per annum by
end of Q1 2023. Cononish is a high-grade underground mining
operation with a central processing plant producing gold
concentrate for off-take and gold doré for the Scottish Jewellery
industry. Once in full production, the mine has anticipated
forecast operating costs of c.GBP544/oz AISC, which will place
Cononish in the lowest quartile of gold mining operations
globally.
It is Scotgold's vision to build a mid-tier gold mining company
in Scotland with multiple operations in the country that enhance
the local environment and economy in ways that have an enduring
positive impact.
