We are demonstrating strong operational performance with a process that consistently delivers over 90% gold recovery and sustained grades reaching up to 1.2 grams per ton. These results reflect the reliability of our engineered approach and validate the potential of this coastal placer deposit when processed with the right system.

​

Our team has identified a clear path to further increase recovery using pure gravity separation with no chemical processing. This approach not only strengthens environmental stewardship but also simplifies operations and reduces processing risk.

Recent collaboration with the screening manufacturer’s engineering team has identified a significant opportunity to increase plant feed capacity by more than four times through the implementation of properly sized screening technology. Combined with operational improvements, including solutions for the region’s extreme condensation and humidity conditions, these advancements position the operation for meaningful throughput expansion.

This beach deposit has attracted interest from miners since the 1890s, yet the engineering challenges of the dense, gold-rich sand have historically prevented sustained success. Through continuous refinement of our proprietary processing system, we believe Northern Aurora Gold is the first to successfully unlock the technical solution required to recover this resource efficiently.

​

After several strong operating seasons, our engineering program continues to advance rapidly. Each season has delivered valuable operational insights that are now being incorporated into the next phase of system improvements. With enhanced throughput, optimized recovery systems, and a deeper understanding of the deposit’s characteristics, we are well positioned to significantly increase both tonnage processed and overall gold recovery in the seasons ahead.
