Royal Nickel kicks off mining at Baloo open pit gold mine

Royal Nickel Corp. started mining at its Baloo stage-one open pit that will supply the processing plant at its Higginsville gold operation in Western Australia.

The fully funded and permitted open pit will supply about 30,000 tonnes of material per month until year-end, according to an Aug. 23 release.

The company said the stage-one Baloo open pit has potential for expansion beyond the end of this year. Stage-two is in the permitting process.

Royal Nickel recently acquired the Higginsville operations from Westgold Resources Ltd. for A$25 million in cash and A$25 million in shares.
