The Florida Canyon Mine produces gold by conventional hard rock open pit mining with processing by 2 stage crushing and Run of Mine (ROM) heap leaching.
Additional permits are required for extension of the Florida Canyon mine life and amendments to existing permits to allow for Argonaut to make a capital investment into South Heap Leach Pad Phase III Expansion, which is expected to extend continuity of mine operation.
Permitting is well underway for Phase III of the South Heap Leach Pad, scheduled to be built in 2024, as well as permits to increase solution flow rates on to the leach pads to further increase gold recoveries.
The Florida Canyon mine is expected to initiate civil earthworks for the Phase III pad in the fourth quarter of 2023. |
