Sumatra Copper & Gold (ASX:SUM) has poured first gold at its wholly-owned Tembang Gold Project located in southern Sumatra, Indonesia, just nine months after construction started.
The company has achieved a steady state processing rate at 90% of nameplate capacity of 45 tonnes per hour.
The gold was sourced predominantly from low grade ore feed as part of the commissioning process to test the crushing and CIL circuit.
Plant commissioning, including the gravity circuit, will continue into October with higher grade run-of-mine ore starting to be fed to the plant as testing activities conclude.
