Gekko Systems says a third InLine Leach Reactor (ILR) has been successfully commissioned at Avesoro Resources’ New Liberty gold mine in Liberia.

This installation, expected to further enhance gold recovery and decrease processing costs at Liberia’s first and largest commercial gold mine, is one of several Gekko has completed across Africa. Other notable ILR deployments have been witnessed at West African Resources’ Sanbrado gold mine in Burkina Faso and Asante Gold’s Bibiani gold mine in Ghana.

The latest ILR installation at New Liberty has been achieved thanks to the hard work of Gekko Senior Process Engineer, Jacob Asare, and the team at the mine, Gekko said.

The ILR is an automated, high-performance leaching system that effectively recovers gold from concentrates, and is widely used in the mining industry due to its high gold recovery rates, Gekko explained.
