![]() ![]() ![]() Mineralisation is contained within a steep to moderate dipping vein and vein stockwork zone with thickness of up to 45ft, which extends over a strike length of 1,400m. Precambrian basement rocks underlie the volcanics. The mine is founded on tertiary quartz monzonite, a coarse crystalline rock made up of quartz, plagioclase and orthoclase, which cuts into tertiary age volcanics. The mine life of Phase II will be five years. Pit depth under Phase II will range from 30ft to 575ft, and production rate under this Phase is expected to be 5,000t of mineralised rock per day. Phase II of the project will be carried out based on the success of the Phase I project, and will involve the mining and processing of approximately 6.13million tonnes (of measured and indicated resources) of mineralised rock. The mined zone is approximately 500ft in length and leaching activities are currently in progress.įirst, gold from the mine was poured in December 2013, and the mine life under Phase I is 15 months, assuming production rate of 1,000t of mineralised rock per day. Phase I, which included the pilot plant, commenced mining operations in June 2013, and a total of 90,199mt of ore grading 1.404g/t of gold and 13.891g/t of silver were mined. The Moss Mine Gold-Silver Mining Project is a potential heap leach, open-pit project being developed in three Phases. Moss Mine Gold-Silver project development details ![]()
