Oxide ore from Asaukak will in the short term continue to be fed to the existing plant The future  plan is to treat the remaining lower grade oxide ores through a new one million tonnes a year gold heap leach plant from the last quarter of 2008. This will be constructed at the existing Asaukak mine and will be fed from the low grade stockpiles already mined. The heap leach plant will be semi-mobile and will be used in conjunction with the existing one million tonnes a year Vysokovoltnoye gold / silver heap leach plant over the next 20 years in order to mine out all the potential oxide reserves within the AGF licence area.
