DRDGOLD's ambitious Vision 2028 plan to boost gold production goes into implementation mode

DRDGOLD has launched the Vision 2028 initiative to increase gold production and improve operational efficiency through major investments in its reclamation sites. The program includes infrastructure upgrades such as a 60MW solar plant and a 187MWh battery storage system at ERGO, meeting 47% of its electricity needs via renewables. The company has also resumed tailings deposition at the Daggafontein Tailings Storage Facility and started commissioning the Driefontein 2 (DP2) plant, which is expected to increase throughput at FWGR. Additional projects include a 135-kilometer pipeline network connecting DP2 to the Regional Tailings Storage Facility (RTSF), which is set to become a central component of the vision. These developments aim to boost overall throughput from 2.15 million tons per month to 3 million tons and increase annual gold production to approximately 6 tons by 2028.
