Summary:
The Albazino deposit consists of several seemingly isolated northwest-trending mineralisation zones separated by fatult-bounded structural blocks. Mineralisation extends over 7 km in length with the Anfisa, Olga, Ekaterina and Farida zones in the northeast, and Nadezhda in the northwest.
Gold mineralisation at Albazino is of the low-sulphide, gold-pyrite-arsenopyrite type, and is assicated with moderately dipping dykes that crosscut sandstrones. The most intense gold mineralisation is associated with fold zones, averaging between 10 and 30m in thickness with intense veining.
Mining Methods
- Truck & Shovel / Loader
- Cemented (undefined) backfill
Summary:
Albazino is mined by conventional open-pit truck-shovel and drill-and-blast methods.
At Albazino, underground mine productivity continued to improve as a result of the full transition to a partially cemented waste backfill. The new mining method had a positive impact on grades that offset slightly lower recovery levels, impacted by near-surface, partially oxidised ore from Ekaterina-1.
