Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV) started staged commissioning of the minerals processing facility at the Hillgrove Mine in New South Wales, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.

First ore is crushed and placed in the fine ore bin to feed the grinding circuit, marking the initial phase of the sequenced restart of processing operations at the mine, the filing said.

Commissioning activities on the wet-end of the plant are nearing completion, with further activities in progress over the coming weeks, per the filing.
