Allied Gold Advances Kurmuk Gold Mine Commissioning Ahead of First Production in Ethiopia
Date: October 29, 2026
Allied Gold Corporation is advancing the commissioning of its Kurmuk Gold Mine in Ethiopia, with the processing plant moving closer to its first gold production.
According to the company's latest announcement, the crushing circuit and supporting infrastructure have been completed, while the processing plant has entered the wet commissioning stage.
Crushing and Processing Plant Progress
The crushing circuit is operational, and crushed ore stockpiles are being built ahead of the processing plant ramp-up.
Key equipment, including the SAG mill and ball mill drives, has been energized as part of the commissioning process. Water transfer and individual circuit testing are also progressing.
These activities represent important milestones in preparing the mine for ore processing and production startup.
First Gold Production Outlook
Allied Gold expects to introduce ore into the processing plant and proceed toward first gold production during the upcoming commissioning period.
The company anticipates producing approximately 25,000–35,000 ounces of gold during November and December 2026, with commercial production targeted during this period.
Its 2027 production guidance for the project remains approximately 240,000–270,000 ounces of gold.
The Importance of Sample Preparation in Gold Mining
As new gold mining projects move toward production, reliable ore testing and sample preparation remain essential for evaluating ore characteristics and supporting process optimization.
Laboratory jaw crushers, pulverizers, grinding mills and sample dividers are commonly used to prepare representative ore samples for chemical analysis and metallurgical testing.
Efficient sample preparation helps mining laboratories obtain consistent samples and support better-informed mineral processing decisions.
