Despite the operational challenges presented by the recent Mulitaka landslide, Porgera Gold Mine has met or exceeded its targets since resuming mining in December last year, with gold production for the first half of the year above guidance and all-in sustaining costs trending lower.
Nothing like a bit of mining.
It's great to be part of the Barhale Ltd team supporting Thames Water on their AMP7 resilience programme. We currently have three tunnel boring machines in the ground at Rye Meads, Fortis Green and Haydon End, all expected to break through next week. #resilience#infrastructure#waterindustry#tunnelling#tbm
Rat-hole mining involves extracting coal from shallow, horizontal seams via cramped tunnels. The term "rat hole" refers to the diminutive size of these pits, barely large enough for a single miner to enter and extract coal.

Otavi Copper Mine: From Flooded to Flourishing
The historic Otavi copper mine, known for both its abundance and its battles with flooding, is once again poised to thrive. While past floods posed significant challenges, advancements in technology have paved the way for a prosperous future.
Modern Pumps Overcome Past Obstacles:
Previously, flooding posed a major threat to the mine's viability. However, the game has changed. Today's cutting-edge pumps are vastly superior to those of years past, boasting significantly higher dewatering capacity. This crucial upgrade enables the mine to overcome flooding challenges with greater speed and efficiency, ensuring a more stable and productive operation.
Copper's Expanding Role in a Green Future:
As the world strives for a cleaner future, the demand for copper is skyrocketing. This essential metal plays a critical role in numerous renewable technologies, from electric vehicles to solar panels. In the next 20 years alone, copper demand is projected to experience a massive surge, driven by the global transition to green energy.

There are many aspects of Canadian law that are the same from province-to-province. Sure there are a few words that are different here and there, but for the most part the laws work the same way.
Unfortunately mining laws are not in that category as highlighted in this article about some of the nuances of mining reclamation (or clean up) rules. Now that we know there may be a deficiency, part of the plan should be to strengthen the requirements going forward.

Mining here goes back to the 1970s concerning the commercial production of copper and gold. #Landslides in the area of expansions to the mine and surrounds date back to the 1980s - where relocations have been documented.

Troilus Commences Dewatering Of The J4 Pit
MONTREAL, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5R) is pleased to report a major milestone in the Company’s exploration and development plans with the start of dewatering at the J4 pit (“J4”) this month, a process that is expected to take approximately 6 months to complete. Dewatering of the larger Z87 pit (“Z87”, together “the Pits”) is expected to start in 2025 and will take approximately 18 months to complete. Dewatering of the Pits will provide safe access for ongoing exploration of the mined pits and is a key component to be completed for redevelopment of the existing mine site going forward.
Justin Reid, CEO and Director of Troilus Gold, commented, "We are pleased to get started on this major milestone to upgrade the safety and access to the Pits at the Troilus site so that our team can gain a better understanding of the physical landscape and incorporate this knowledge in our exploration and development plans. Completing the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) to dewater the pits and putting in place the equipment and infrastructure have demonstrated our team’s ability to manage the regulatory and stakeholder requirements to advance the complicated components of a mining project in Northern Quebec and provide valuable experience to continue moving the Troilus Project through the permitting process.”
Three 140Hp pumps are currently operating at the J4 pit (see Images 1 & 2). The Troilus team has constructed new infrastructure around the pits to facilitate the dewatering including a main basin which will be used for the last 10 to 15% of the water to contain any sediment that may have settled at the lower levels of the Pits and a spillway to direct the water flow into the existing creek.
