TRX Gold Reports Third Quarter 2024 TORONTO, July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TRX Gold Corporation (TSX: TRX) (NYSE American: TRX) (the “Company” or “TRX Gold”) is pleased to announce the completion of the expanded processing plant to 2,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”), and also reported its results for the third quarter of 2024 (“Q3 2024”) for the three months ended May 31, 2024. Financial results are available on the Company’s website at www.TRXgold.com.

Project highlights include:

Immediate and positive impact on milling capacity: The newly expanded 2,000 tpd processing facility is now operational and is currently undergoing wet commissioning. During this commissioning phase, the expanded processing plant has been consistently achieving, on average, 1,750 tpd of mill throughput, reaching a maximum of 1,873 tpd, a 116% increase over Q3 2024, and is ramping up towards final commissioning. Average weekly gold production has also increased to 616 ounces over this same period, an increase in weekly production of 60%, on average, from Q3 2024 production levels. This weekly production run rate is expected to continue over the remainder of July and August 2024, during final plant commissioning and ramp-up. The Company is currently finalizing some minor welding work on the carbon-in-leach (“CIL”) tanks, and some ancillary electrical work on the agitators and intertank screens. Once the additional CIL tanks are completed and fully commissioned, it is expected that the expanded processing plant will begin to achieve 2,000 tpd of processing capacity.
Built-in capacity for future growth: As part of an initial phase of the plant expansion project, during Q3 2024, the Company completed construction of the new crushing circuit. The expanded crushing system is now operational and has been fully commissioned. The crushing circuit has been consistently achieving an average of 2,000 tpd of crushed material, reaching a maximum of 2,470 tpd. The new crushing plant, combined with the old crushing circuit, is rated to process 3,600 to 4,800 tpd of ore at full capacity with new equipment comprising: run-of-mine bin, apron feeder, conveyors, vibrating grizzly, primary jaw crusher and secondary and tertiary cone crushers. The crushing plant configuration is designed to produce a finely crushed ore ‘product’ suitable for the existing and future ball mills to improve grind size for a more efficient, cost-effective processing of sulphide ore. The new circuit is expected to help drive increased throughput and recovery percentages and demonstrates the Company’s overall design philosophy of simplicity, redundancy and durability, making it a key component to support future growth.
