AusIMM Tarkwa Student Chapter’s Post

Release of the final #assays from SPC Nickel Corp's resource definition drill program (67 holes for 14,180m) demonstrated the potential amenability to open-pit mining at East Lockerby. Next: a maiden #MineralResource which will add to historic resources at West Graham & Crean Hill 3. “The final assays from SPC Nickel’s highly successful 2023 resource definition program at West Graham represent the culmination of more than 10 months of intensive drilling activity. The results to date have significantly enhanced the resource potential at West Graham. We expect the project will be amenable to open-pit mining methods and will demonstrate strong economics. Having completed our resource definition work for the year, we are working towards the release of our maiden Mineral Resource for West Graham in the coming months.” #nickel #criticalmetals

SRK’s stepwise approach to pre-concentration analysis Having outlined a new vendor-agnostic, lab-based “preconcentration screening test” for mining in part one of this three-part series, SRK Consulting is back for part two in IM February 2024, discussing the wider pre-concentration evaluation process that this testing fits into. “With any pre-concentration analysis, we need to, first, understand the heterogeneity of the deposit; simply put, if you don’t have heterogeneity, you don’t have the ability to separate the good stuff from the bad stuff and carry out preconcentration,” Bob McCarthy, Principal Consultant, SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc, says. With this baseline in mind, SRK Consulting has devised a pathway that for companies with drill core at their disposal to analyse whether preconcentration is a viable option for their flowsheet. This five-step process is deliberately designed to allow companies to pause at the end of each phase to re-evaluate if there is a strong enough case to continue investing the time and finances required.

A presentation I presented to small scale mines and quarries a while back.. Still allot of work to be done in terms of Traffic Management, but I believe we can control hazards and unwanted events by using control levels 1 - 7 before relying on Technology.

Join us and Crownsmen Partners, and Baymag Inc. for this episode of Mining Now about the latest advancements in #wastewatermanagement in the #miningindustry. Our Mohsen Barkh shares insights into the innovative solutions PMAP Mine Water is bringing to the table, enhancing #efficiency and #safety in #wastewatertreatment in #mining operations. Learn about the cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionizing how mining companies treat #minewater and the impact these advancements have on the industry. We have been honored to have Prof. Dr.-Ing. Franz X. Spachtholz from Baymag join this conversation to discuss the significant contributions Baymag is making in the field of magnesium production. Dr. Spachtholz provides an in-depth look at the processes and technologies Baymag employs to produce high-quality magnesium in Canada and globally, a critical element in various industries including wastewater treatment. Gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in using #MgO for wastewater treatment in mining, and how Baymag is positioning itself as a leader in this sector with utilizing PMAP's technology. Key Topics Covered: - Tackling #tailingpond issues in mining - Solutions for neutralizing pH, cleaning water, and recovering #criticalmetals - Transforming #tailingsmanagement into a sustainable practice - Redefining #minewatertreatment with #innovative technologies - #Minepermitting Learn about the partnership's commitment to environmental wins and the global supply of #MgO from Baymag, part of the Refratechnik Group of Companies. Don't miss this opportunity to explore how PMAP and Baymag are changing the narrative from "Mining is the problem" to "Mining is the solution" with their cutting-edge solutions.

Last week our Chief Geologist, Louis W. Schurmann, presented at the 2024 Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum. Louis was able to share his insight into our most recent findings and the progress of our Yangibana Project. His key points included: ◾ Fully permitted with $154 million invested to date for Stage 1 of Yangibana Project ◾ Average neodymium and Praseodymium (NdPr) to TREO Ratio surpassing most global projects ◾ Timed to produce critical minerals required to power the energy transition ◾ Significant upside as a future niobium producer with potential material by-product credit in addition to rare earths Watch the full presentation: https://lnkd.in/gPwHHtpR The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia AMEC (Association of Mining and Exploration Companies), Gascoyne Development Commission, Shire of Upper Gascoyne, Shire of Carnarvon, Regional Development Australia - Mid West & Gascoyne #hastings #TechInnovation #CriticalMinerals #RareEarths #investmentforwa #jobsforwa #worldclass #wamining #ausmining #mining #RareEarths #diggersanddealers

via The Pick Magazine Tennant Minerals is preparing to commence its next drilling phase at the high-grade Bluebird #copper-#gold discovery in the Northern Territory. The new #drilling will include testing of multiple targets within an expanded 2.5km strike-length mineralised footprint, including the Perseverance Target - 2km west of Bluebird. Bluebird is one of multiple copper-gold targets within a 5km geophysical footprint at the company’s 100% owned Barkly Project. The new drilling phase will aim to extend the Bluebird discovery and define high-grade copper-gold mineralisation from near surface to over 400m depth and more than 800m strike-length, with the aim of defining a maiden Mineral Resource that will be sufficient to support a stand-alone mining and processing operation at Bluebird.

Sunshine requires US$10.5Mil investment to further advance their flagship project, Sand River Gold, in the Witwatersrand Goldfield. Funds are required to complete Concept to Bankable Feasibility studies and for a Mining Right application. Sand River Gold has a SAMREC compliant Inferred Gold Resource of 17.63 Moz at 5,38 g/t (at a cut-off grade of 250 cmg/t) and ranks as one of the top global gold discoveries of the past 10 years. The Project borders two large gold mines, with mining activities approaching to as close as 12 metres from Sand River Gold. An additional 15.5 Mlb of uranium (U3O8) is available as by-product during future gold mining. https://lnkd.in/ePT_pm_Y
