Research shows that “rinsing” gold heap leach pads isn’t needed for cyanide reduction. Modern closure practices focus on residual gold recovery and controlled inventory reduction.
A Strategic Mine Plan is the first stage of mine planning that sets the economic and technical direction for your project.
The Witwatersrand Basin, discovered in 1886, has produced over 1.6 billion ounces of gold. Deep mining innovations fueled South Africa’s economy, but challenges like labor disputes and environmental concerns persist. Modern efforts focus on sustainable mining and reclamation.
Selection of the most appropriate type of shaft lining needs to be considered during the design phase. This document provides a high-level overview of the typical applications, construction methods, benefits, and drawbacks of more commonly used shaft linings.
Mineral Systems Approach (MSA) is an exploration targeting practice that has been gaining momentum in the mineral exploration community as the modern, holistic method of identifying new, potentially major mineralisation districts.
Historical sampling biases at Kyzyl-Alma affected gold grade estimates. SRK adjusted historical data using verification drilling, improving resource estimation accuracy and aligning with production reconciliation.
A seepage incident at a Mexican gold mine’s TSF was managed using emergency measures, including TARP activation. Improved monitoring and design adjustments prevented further risks.
Machine learning has proven a successful tool in expanding the exploration search space into new frontiers and refining areas for follow-up exploration.
Block caving is the most cost effective and productive underground mining method for massive ore bodies.
Chilean mining legislation requires physical and chemical stability of mining sites. Deposition of tailings at sub-sea environments has not been specifically included in chemical stability guidelines.
Gold mining companies adopt ESG standards like the Responsible Gold Mining Principles and ICMM guidelines. Independent assurance ensures compliance, improving sustainability and investor confidence.
Core databases often span multiple decades and can represent thousands to hundreds of thousands of meters of core samples. SRK has been implementing automated classification of core imagery to increase data availability and spatial resolution for geological characterization.
