OPERATIONS
MINING & PROCESSING - MINE TYPE: Underground
The gold mineralization at Bell Creek mine is mined using underground longhole mining methods. At the Timmins West mine, primary mining methods include longitudinal and transverse longhole mining. Ore from both mines is processed at the Bell Creek mill via single-stage crushing and single-stage grinding, with a portion of the gold recovered by gravity methods, followed by pre-oxidation and cyanidation with carbon-in-leach and carbon-in-pulp recovery.
RESOURCE
GEOLOGY & MINERALIZATION
Gold mineralization in the Bell Creek mine occurs in steeply-dipping, shear-hosted sulphide mineralization zones. Gold mineralization in the Timmins West mine occurs in steeply-plunging mineralized zones that occur within or along favourable lithostructural settings.
