Deposit Type

  • VMS

Summary:

Kidd Mine is a VMS Cu-Zn-Ag deposit. Mineralisation occurs within a rhyolitic volcanic/volcaniclastic sequence as massive sulphide lenses of dominantly pyrite-pyrrhotite-sphalerite-galena-rich ores that are underlain by copper in chalcopyrite stringer zones. Ore Reserves are based on the approved mining plan to 2,940 m (9,600 ft) depth.

Mining Methods

  • Sub-level open stoping (SLOS)
  • Paste backfill

Summary:

The current extraction method at Kidd Creek is sublevel open stoping.

Lafarge has operated the paste plant since 2004. Over time the operational capacity has expanded resulting in increased reliability, decreased cost per tonne, and greater throughput. Lafarge’s backfill support services including processing and delivery of sand and tailings resulted in significant cost savings for the mine. Lafarge also provided a custom designed paste - TerraFlow ™ 90.

Crushing and Grinding

Processing

  • Dewatering
  • Flotation

Source: Subscription required

Summary:

Ore processed at Kidd Concentrator using conventional flotation techniques. The concentrator crushes and grinds the ore before flotation.

Copper and zinc concentrates dewatered and shipped for further refinement in Canada.

The metallurgical facilities are located 27 km south-east of the mine site.
