Yukon, in Canada.
Project Owner/s
Western Gold and Copper Corporation.
Project Description
A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has been initiated on the Casino deposit.
The principal objective of the PEA will be to demonstrate positive economic indicators that justify the progression of the project.
The PEA will be based on the 2020 mineral resource estimate and various engineering studies completed to date.
The PEA will include a large openpit operation; a concentrator to recover copper, gold, silver and molybdenum minerals; and a solid-waste facility to store mine waste rock and mill tailings.
The project will also include a heap-leach facility to recover gold, silver and copper from oxide ore, as well as a relocated airport and some rerouted roads to lower the overall footprint.
Project infrastructure will incorporate about 130 km of access road and a captive power generation facility to meet the project electrical power demand.
