Mine Life9.5 years (as of Jan 1, 2013)
Since completing the Pre-Feasibility Study for Springpole in January 2021, First Mining has been engaged in a number of significant technical programs to further optimize the development plan for Springpole and to further define the project scope for the Environmental Assessment (EA) process and into the Feasibility Study (FS) process.

These programmes are ongoing and include Feasibility-level metallurgical test work, reviewing opportunities to reduce the project’s greenhouse gas footprint (GHG), exploring renewable power generation opportunities, environmental data collection, and EA document preparation.

Deposit Type

  • Breccia pipe / Stockwork
  • Hydrothermal


Summary:

The Cameron and Dubenski Gold Deposits form part of the clan of gold mineral systems occurring in greenstones that have traditionally been classified as orogenic, whereby a clan is a family of deposits that are either formed by related processes or that are distinct products of large-scale hydrothermal processes (Robert et al. 2007). Greenstone hosted gold deposits are the most important of the clan with some nineteen deposits with greater than 10 Moz contained gold identified and with almost 400 Moz of total endowment worldwide.

The bulk of the mineralization comprising the Cameron Gold Deposit can be regarded as being part of the atypical greenstone family, with a lesser, but potentially-highly significant orogenic vein style.

The Cameron Gold Deposit has many features in common with both orogenic and atypical greenstone deposits. These include an association of the intersection of a crustal scale (first-order) structure (Cameron Pipestone Fault) with a large-scale (second order) structure (Cameron Lake Shear Zone) in the region of an anticline fold structure (Shingwak Lake Anticline). A stratigraphic position at a possible hiatus or change in volcanism (Rowan Lake Volcanics to Cameron Lake Volcanics) in an iron-rich part of the volcanic stratigraphy, which is also near a volcanic sediment (volcaniclastic) transition.

The bulk of the mineralization comprising the Dubenski Gold Deposit can be regarded as being part of the atypical greenston ........

Summary:

The open pit and underground mining potential of Cameron was evaluated. The evaluation concluded that the most viable economic option was initial open pit mining to a maximum vertical depth of 250 m, followed by underground mining.

Only open pit mining was considered for Dubenski. Dubenski is located approximately 7 km from Cameron and lies between two lakes.

At Cameron an existing decline has been developed with dimensions of 12 ft (3.6 m) x 16 ft (4.9 m) at a 15% (approximately 1:7) gradient from the surface to 800 ft (244 m) below the surface. Mineralisation access was developed at 365 ft (111 m), 490 ft (149 m) and 685 ft (209 m) levels.

Open pit mining will use a conventional open pit truck and excavator method. All material will be drilled and blasted on 10 m benches, and excavated on 2.5 m flitches using nominally a 250 t excavator and 90 t haul trucks.

The Cameron pit is approximately 1,000 m long, 450 m wide and 240 m deep. The pit consists of a main southern pit, with a smaller independent, northern section (110 m deep). The pit design contains four stages. There are two stages (Stages 1 and 2) within the main southern pit (Stage 3) and the north pit (Stage 4).

Separate ramps were designed for the south and north pit areas to provide operational flexibility. The pit design was based on 90 t class trucks for the majority of the pit, reducing to narrow working areas at the pit base, where smaller trucks will b ........
