The gold mine said it would provide all the facts on what is happening at the mine now and the company’s plans for the future.

Gold mine staff will be at the Stawell RSL Hall, 3 Scallan Street. 

They will answer questions and take feedback from 11.30am.

There will be a formal presentation at 12.30pm.

Representatives from other organisations and government, including the Stawell Gold Mine Environment Review Committee, will be present to answer questions and provide information.

The gold mine company said it underground tours of the mine have been incorporated into the day.

“Stawell Gold Mines received a great response and the tour is now full,” the company said.

The community information day will include a barbecue lunch.

Stawell Gold Mines general manager Troy Cole urged community members with any interest in the mine’s operations to get along to the day and gather information first hand.

“This information day is part of an ongoing campaign to boost communication between the mine and community members,” he said.

“We understand that the community wants accurate, up-to-date and useful information and that’s what we at SGM plan to give them.

“We really want people to take advantage of these opportunities to inform themselves of what we are trying to achieve and how we are going about it and to provide us with feedback on how they see our operations.”

Stawell Gold Mines owner, Canada-based Newmarket Gold, stated in its July production report that Stawell delivered 8504 ounces, at an average grade of 1.48 grams per tonne, during the second quarter of 2016.

“Drilling will continue in the third quarter with two rigs focused on the Aurora B gold zone on the East Flank of the Stawell gold system,” the report stated.
