Lone Tree is a past-producing mine with historic production of approximately 4.2 million ounces of gold and is host to substantial processing infrastructure including a whole-ore autoclave, leach pad and CIC circuit, and a floatation circuit.
Currently, gold production continues from the residual leach program and detailed engineering is being completed for the restart of the autoclave facility.
In April, 2023, i-80 Gold Corp. has completed an initial cost estimate at a pre-feasibility level and schedule study for recommissioning of the Lone Tree Autoclave facility. The project teams are now advancing a Class III Engineering Study to further refine the refurbishment plan to provide sufficient enough detail for potential future project financing. The final Hatch report is expected to be completed in 2023. |
