Musselwhite materials handling projects completed

Gold major Newmont is ramping up the Musselwhite mine, in Ontario, to full operations following the completion of a new conveyor and materials handling system.

“Musselwhite is an important part of our North America region, and with the commissioning of these two projects, it is positioned to contribute to Newmont’s portfolio for many years to come,” CEO Tom Palmer said on Wednesday.

The conveyor system and the materials handling system work in association to efficiently move material from deeper mine levels to the surface.

Haul distances are reduced as the ore crushed at depth will be hoisted from the underground crushers to the conveyor system and brought to the surface for processing.

Musselwhite’s ore is mined from two main zones below Lake Opapimiskan.

Work on the $90-million materials handling project, to improve the movement of ore to the mill, started in 2016.
