Meeka Metals (ASX:MEK) has announced the successful completion of its first gold pour at the Murchison Gold Project, located in Western Australia. This milestone follows the completion of commissioning work and sets the stage for a planned increase in production. Meeka Metals is an Australian resources company focused on developing its Murchison Gold Project. The company is working to expand its resource base and increase production.
According to the company, ore stocks have been steadily increasing in front of the processing plant as open-pit mining activities ramp up. The expansion follows the arrival of the third dig fleet in June 2025. Managing Director Tim Davidson described the achievement as impressive, noting that first gold was delivered on time, within 12 months of breaking ground at Murchison.
Davidson added that the company is now focused on increasing gold production toward its targeted 80,000 ounces per annum. This ramp-up will be supported by the arrival of the third dig fleet, an expanded open-pit mining plan, and the commencement of underground ore extraction at Andy Well, scheduled for the September 2025 quarter.
The Murchison Gold Project covers the northern part of the Mount Magnet and Youanmi Shear zones in the Murchison Goldfields. The project boasts a resource of 1.2 million ounces of gold at a grade of 3 grams per tonne.
