BK Gold Mines Pty Ltd is a private mining company focussing on small, high grade and high margin gold deposits.
The strategy of BKGM is to own and operate small tonnage, high grade gold deposits in the West Australian goldfields. The Company plans to use conventional mining equipment to develop the projects and to employ an optimised form of vat leaching for on-site ore processing and gold recovery.
Vat leaching is not a new process and has been successfully employed in the gold industry for decades and is still used today, albeit on a smaller scale. Vat leaching lends itself to the style of projects being targeted; small tonnage but high grade gold deposits.
The British King Mine, the company’s foundation project and namesake, is scheduled to commence operations at the start of 2015.
