Under the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture (was formed on July 1, 2019), Barrick’s Turquoise Ridge Mine and Newmont’s Twin Creeks Complex were combined as a single operation, now known as Turquoise Ridge.
Now the Turquoise Ridge Complex consists of Turquoise Ridge Underground, Vista Underground, Turquoise Ridge Surface (Newmont’s former Twin Creeks mining complex), which is consisting of the Mega and Vista Pits, one oxide mill (Juniper), one refractory mill (Sage) with two autoclaves, one active leach pad (Izzenhood).
Turquoise Ridge Surface has currently paused mining in the open pits, while ore from stockpiles is processed. Mining from the open pits is expected to resume in the medium to long-term and continue until 2034. |
