Production of Gold
A feasibility study on the production of gold at a fictitious mine (Moapa mine) in Elko County, Nevada is to be performed. The mine is capable of producing 325,800 tons of high-grade ore per year for 8 years. The deposit contains 0.12 ounces of gold per ton of high-grade ore and can be acquired at a cost of $10 per ton of ore (cost of mining ore

Mining & Processing
Ore is mined and processed at an onsite flotation processing plant capable of treating up to 24 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). The plant currently recovers copper, gold and silver into a saleable concentrate. The primary ore is crushed and ground using Semi-Autogenous Grinding and Ball mills to a final grain size of approximately 180 microns.
