Treatment The gold processing plant at Phoenix, a mine abandoned in 1953, south the North Royal Open Pit and from the closed down Regent Shaft, uses conventional milling and carbon-in-leach technology to recover gold. Process water is obtained from a bore-field for the mining operations. Power is supplied by a third party on-site 10 MW power station that also supplies power to the Norseman township. The capacity of the processing facility is approximately 720,000 tonnes per annum. Mine safety Recently, three workers were killed in a six-year span at Central Norseman.
