flag West Wits Mining gained approval to expand its South African gold mine, targeting 70,000 ounces annually for 12 years.

flag West Wits Mining has secured a prospecting right enabling expansion of its Qala Shallows underground gold mine near Johannesburg, South Africa. flag The mine, operational since mid-October, is targeting 70,000 ounces of annual gold production for 12 years, supported by a 17-year mine life and a $500 million net present value. flag A feasibility study projects an 81% internal rate of return, with 383,000 ounces in bankable reserves and 5.025 million ounces in total resources. flag The company aims to process 30,000 tonnes of ore by March, advancing its “Project 200” goal of 200,000 ounces annually. flag Existing infrastructure and a conservative gold price of $2,850 per ounce support $983 million in post-tax free cash flow, marking a key step in reviving South Africa’s historic gold sector.
