Northern Star Resources reports variable performance at $1.7bn Fimiston mill expansion

Northern Star Resources revealed on Monday that plant performance at its expanded Fimiston mill remained variable during October, just three months into the commissioning phase. The $1.7 billion facility, located at Kalgoorlie's Super Pit, is expected to double the mine's capacity to 27 million tonnes a year once fully operational. The company described these teething problems as causing significant headaches for the gold miner during the initial ramp-up period. Investors and analysts are now monitoring the timeline for the mill to reach full production capacity and assess the impact on the company's output goals.
