Project Owner/s
ALT Resources.
Project Description
Mt Ida includes the Emu, Southwark, Boags, VB (Bottle Creek) Tim’s Find, Boudie Rat and Forrest Belle pits, with mineral resources totalling 6.8-million tonnes grading 1.9 g/t of gold.
A scoping study has proposed the development of an openpit mining operation with the construction of a standalone 500 000 t/y carbon-in-pulp ore processing facility, with the results demonstrating a project that is financially robust and has strong project fundamentals with low technical risk.
The designed treatment plant comprises crushing and processing plants.
The design calls for two-stage crushing, two-stage milling, cyanidation leach, carbon adsorption, carbon stripping and smelting to produce gold/silver doré on site.
Mining will be undertaken using conventional openpit mining techniques.
The tailings storage facility strategy is based on depositing tailings into purpose-built two-stage tailings storage facilities.
Production is estimated at 181 200 oz of gold and 937 800 oz of silver over six years.
