Proposed Mining Operations
The key steps of the proposed mining operation would include:
-
Preparing the site which includes vegetation clearing
-
Drilling and blasting of the ore and waste rock
-
Open-pit mining of ore and waste rock using large mechanical shovels, excavators and trucks
-
Hauling waste rock from the open-pit to the Waste Rock Storage Facility (WRSF) and ore to the ore stockpile or the crusher which feeds into the ore conveyor
-
Transporting ore, via conveyor, from the crushers to the concentrator for processing to produce a copper-gold concentrate and tailings
-
Storing tailings and waste rock in the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF)
-
Transporting copper-gold concentrate from the mine site to the port via a pipeline.
