Commercial production at the MAX operation commenced in 2008 at a nominal rate of 500 tpd. The mine production was suspended in September 2010 due to an underground pillar collapse, and was put into ‘care and maintenance’ in late 2011 due to continued low molybdenum prices.
Access to the MAX mine is closed. Rail, air pipe and cable may be recovered from the mine for use at the Willa Mine but Discovery Ventures will require a permit to re-open the mine to do this. No mining of mineral from the MAX mine will be undertaken during the life of the Willa Mine. |
