Catalyst Metals Limited ( (AU:CYL) ) has issued an announcement.

Catalyst Metals has outlined rapid progress at its K2 satellite gold mine on the Plutonic Belt, a historically mined but largely unexplored deposit that lay dormant since the late 1990s and sits 40km from the company’s Plutonic processing plant. With a current resource of 81,000 ounces at 3.6 g/t and a reserve of 20,000 ounces at 4.3 g/t, Catalyst has spent the past year rehabilitating the existing decline, installing surface infrastructure and undertaking grade control drilling that has returned multiple high-grade intercepts, while also deploying rigs for resource extension and down-dip exploration to expand the mineralised footprint. K2 is now the fourth of five mines being brought into operation in about two and a half years, and, alongside the Trident and Old Highway underground mines, is expected to provide higher-grade ore that increases the blended feed grade through Plutonic’s central plant, reduces unit costs and underpins the company’s plan to grow Plutonic Belt output from around 100,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold annually over a 10-year horizon.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:CYL) stock is a Buy with a A$12.51 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Catalyst Metals Limited stock, see the AU:CYL Stock Forecast page.
