15 Westgold Resources Limited Annual Report 2024 FENDER Fender is located immediately south of Big Bell. It was suspended from production in early FY23 while the Company restructured and optimised its mining operations. That rationalisation process released essential equipment and personnel, which, together with more favourable economics, enabled development of the Fender underground operations to recommence in mid-September 2023, with first ore delivered to the Bluebird Mill in October. Ramp up was achieved during the reporting period, with the mine reaching steady state and commercial production on 1 July 2024. In FY25, Fender ore will displace lower grade stockpile feed to the Bluebird Mill at approximately 330,000tpa @ 2.7g/t.
