TNR Gold Corp. (TSX-V:TNR, OTC:TRRXF) shared an update from McEwen Mining on the Los Azules project in Argentina, where TNR holds a 0.4% net smelter returns royalty (NSR). McEwen Mining has reported enhanced #copper recovery rates from recent metallurgical tests, potentially bolstering project economics. Phase 1 testing demonstrated an average copper recovery of 76%, a 3.2% increase over previous estimates, with reduced net acid consumption. These improvements may significantly impact the project's financials, suggesting increased copper cathode production and enhanced after-tax net present value (NPV), McEwen said in a statement. Additional testing phases are ongoing to support feasibility studies, with Phase 2 focusing on deposit-wide variability and scalability, and Phase 3 examining material from the initial five-year mine plan.

Dundee processes 188,800 tonnes of complex concentrate in 2023 Dundee Precious Metals Inc. says it processed approximately 188,800 tonnes of complex concentrate in 2023, an 8% increase from 174,122 processed in 2022 at the Tsumeb Smelter. The company says the increase is despite the facility facing unexpected hurdles encountering unplanned downtime and extended Ausmelt furnace maintenance. The challenges, notably repairs to the off-gas system, led to processing figures below the annual guidance range as the smelter had aimed at 200,000 to 220,000 tonnes of complex concentrate smelted. "Despite the challenges faced in 2023, we remain committed to delivering strong results and maintaining our track record of sustainability performance," said David Rae, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dundee Precious Metals. https://lnkd.in/dBe_b9U4 #namibia #mining #gold Dundee Precious Metals Tsumeb Chamber of Mines Namibia

Dundee Precious Metals considers sale of Tsumeb Smelter Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (DPM) has announced that it is considering a possible sale of its Tsumeb smelter, as the Namibian business is no longer seen as strategic to DPM's asset portfolio. The miner’s decision comes as the Namibia-based smelter will no longer be expected to process any concentrate from DPM’s Chelopech mine in Bulgaria, commencing in 2024. “As a result, it is no longer seen as strategic to DPM's asset portfolio. Consequently, the assets and liabilities of Tsumeb have been presented as held for sale in the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, and the operating results and cash flows of Tsumeb have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022,” the Canadian-based mining company said. https://lnkd.in/dDj4ejKV #namibia #tsumeb #smelter #mining #busines Osino Resources Corp.

Key Factors for Selecting Industrial Processes in Gold Mining Selecting the right industrial process for gold mining is a critical decision that can significantly impact the success of a project. There are a number of factors to consider when making this decision, including: · Ore type: The type of ore being mined will determine the most suitable industrial process. For example, ores with high levels of gold will require different processing techniques than ores with low levels of gold. · Ore grade: The grade of the ore will also determine the most suitable industrial process. High-grade ores can be processed using more expensive and complex methods, while low-grade ores may require more efficient and cost-effective methods. · Environmental impact: The environmental impact of the industrial process is an important consideration. Some processes are more environmentally friendly than others. · Economic factors: The economic factors of the industrial process must also be considered. The cost of the process, the energy requirements, and the amount of gold that can be recovered are all important factors. · Safety: The safety of the industrial process is also a critical consideration. Some processes are more hazardous than others. Once these factors have been considered, a number of different industrial processes can be used to extract gold from ore. These processes include: · Cyanidation: This is the most common method of gold extraction. It involves using cyanide to dissolve the gold from the ore. · Gravity separation: This method uses gravity to separate the gold from the ore. It is often used for high-grade ores. · Flotation: This method uses air bubbles to float the gold to the surface of the ore slurry. It is often used for low-grade ores. · Amalgamation: This method uses mercury to amalgamate with the gold. It is a hazardous process and is no longer widely used. · Bioleaching: This method uses bacteria to extract the gold from the ore. It is a relatively new process and is still being developed. The choice of industrial process will ultimately depend on the specific circumstances of the gold mining project. By carefully considering the factors listed above, mining companies can select the most appropriate process for their operations. #goldmining #feasibilitystudy #miningindustry #investments #riskmanagement #sustainability

#Copper has become the new #oil, and no big mining house can prosper without the #metal considered critical to the transition to a low-carbon future. Everyone wants copper and the price is soaring as supply proves incapable of meeting demand. BHP leaked proposal, valued at US$39-billion, tried to use its shares as the currency to buy Anglo, chiefly to get at its thriving copper mines in Chile and Peru. #criticalminerals #ev #building #buildings #construction #steel #mining #exploration #prospecting #ores #mines #minerals #battery #batteries Mining Association of Canada Mining Association of BC Ontario Mining Association Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) BC Regional Mining Alliance CIM | Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum The Northern Miner Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) Canadian Energy Executive Association Saskatchewan Mining Association AME - Association for Mineral Exploration Canadian Fuels Association - Association canadienne des carburants Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association Canadian Hydrogen Association (CHA) Manitoba Prospectors and Developers Association (MPDA) The Mining Association of Manitoba Inc.

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ASX:EM2) is pleased to provide shareholders and investors with an exploration and operations overview to accompany the Appendix 5B for the quarter ended 31 December 2023. Activities during the Quarter focused on advancing the Oracle Ridge Copper Project towards a restart of mining. Commenting on the activities during the Quarter, Eagle Mountain Mining’s CEO, Tim Mason, said: “The Company made great progress during the December Quarter, with both a significant increase in Mineral Resources and a simplified processing pathway for the Project identified. The new MRE reflects a 27% increase in contained copper on a like-for-like basis from the previous resource. This new resource estimate contains 380,000 tonnes of contained copper and will underpin mining studies for longer mine life and increased annual throughput compared to previous operations. We also identified a far simpler processing method for mineralisation at Oracle Ridge with a raft of cost and environmental benefits. Excellent copper recovery from rougher flotation alone paves the way for direct tankleaching of the concentrate which in turn feeds to an SX/EW plant on site that produces LME grade copper sheet. There is no need for filtering and shipping of concentrate to smelters and refiners. Additional feedstock to the SX/EW could come from a low grade heap leach process which is currently in the testing phase. If viable, this has potential to negate the need for a tailings storage facility, eliminating those capital and operating costs for the Project. Glycine leaching is currently being tested on a run of mine ore and low grade material. Results received to date are very encouraging and the next stage involves testing the rougher concentrate and the existing tailings. I am very excited by developments during the Quarter which support our goal to become a mid-tier copper producer in the USA and would like to thank shareholders for their support to date.“ Read more: https://lnkd.in/g7h2PHsh $EM2 #Copper #Gold #EagleMountain #OracleRidge #Arizona Tim Mason Rick Crabb Roger Port
