Ore sorting pre-concentration check work was initiated with main ore sorting supplier TOMRA with excellent outcomes.
94kg of pattern from the low-grade stockpile at Reward Gold Mine (Reward) was sorted. The next outcomes had been reported;
– Head grade to Sorter weighted common grade (WAG) = 3.70 g/t gold,
– Ore grade WAG after sorting = 16.22g/t gold (337.20% improve on grade),
– Ore/waste break up after sorting = 19.31kgs Ore vs 74.54kgs Waste (79% mass discount),
– Gold misplaced to waste fraction = 0.03grams (>90% effectivity)
Refurbishment of the plant is effectively underway, and Vertex anticipates that the plant can be re-installed at Hill Finish later this 12 months. The Firm anticipates manufacturing will begin in January 2025.
Vertex acquired a Boart Longyear LM90 underground drill rig to advance exploration on the Reward gold mine beneath the present useful resource.
ORE SORTER TEST WORK AND IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE HILL END GRAVITY PLANT
Pre-concentration expertise initiated on the Hill Finish Gravity Plant to separate highgrade ore from waste earlier than it enters the processing plant.
By processing solely high-grade ore, power consumption will be diminished, water consumption can be halved resulting in decrease working prices and discount of the carbon footprint.
The small sorting unit can be merely integrated within the present plant being refurbished by Gekko.
Earlier scoping check outcomes from TOMRA recommended that the Greywacke nation rock will be effectively and successfully separated from the high-grade quartz carrying the gold resulting in vital head grade uplift and diminished materials to be processed.

ACQUISITION OF A LM90 UNDERGROUND DRILL RIG
Vertex has acquired a Boart Longyear LM90 underground drill rig to advance exploration on the Reward gold mine beneath the present useful resource.
The Vertex group are planning diamond drill applications for the next:
– Beneath the present JORC-2012 Reward Useful resource with the goal of increasing upon the present useful resource;
– Fosters Exploration Goal; and
– South Star prospect space
Acquisition of the LM90 follows an intensive evaluation of the mineralisation potential beneath the Reward useful resource, which has solely been drilled as much as 50m beneath the Amalgamated Adit. This space focused is known as the ‘Reward mid depths’ as it’s situated simply 80m to ~200m beneath the Amalgamated Adit. Consult with Determine 1*
Upon commissioning of the LM90 drill rig, Vertex have deliberate eight drill holes to focus on the high-grade Fosters Exploration goal.
The LM90 has a number of benefits well-suited to Vertex’s necessities, together with:
– The flexibility to work on floor and underground;
– Protected, Semi-automated, with a rod-handler system which permits for much less handbook dealing with;
– Permits larger flexibility in drilling over a lot of useful resource and exploration areas; and
– LM 90 rigs are well-established within the trade as secure and dependable underground drill rigs.
Vertex buying its personal rig has many benefits;
– Per-metre drill prices can be considerably lower than hiring an exterior drill contractor
– Extra management and accuracy over precision of drilling.
– Works effectively with Job sharing
– Reduces strain on Mining crew to have drill cuddy availability
– The LM90 rig can be accounted for as an asset on the Vertex stability sheet
