Andy Well gold mine opens in WA

Andy Well Gold Project signage - April 2013Australia’s newest gold mine was officially opened this morning by WA’s Minister for Mines & Petroleum,  Bill Marmion.

 The Andy Well Gold Project, owned by Doray Minerals, is the first new gold operation in the northern Murchison region in over 10 years.

At the official opening, Doray’s Managing Director, Mr Allan Kelly, thanked the Minister and acknowledged the various people involved in the Company’s growth and transition to gold producer.

“We wouldn’t be celebrating this achievement today without the sustained efforts of our contractors, consultants and staff, and the support of shareholders over the last three and a half years,” said Mr Kelly.

“Particular attention was paid to ensure we met key objectives on time and, more often than not, under budget to reach today’s milestone,” he said.

“The quality and high-grade nature of the Wilber Lode proves there are quality deposits still to be discovered in our vast, resource-rich State of Western Australia and that good projects can come to fruition with determination, innovation, cooperation and expertise,” Mr Kelly said.

“This is the beginning of a new chapter in Doray’s story with at least two additional high-grade lodes discovered parallel to the Wilber Lode indicating the potential to extend the mine life past the initial 3.7 years indicated in the BFS.

“We have literally just scratched the surface at Andy Well and look forward to exploring and developing further resources in the near future.”
