Mining and Processing

Mining and Processing

All underground mines in Jerritt Canyon are less than 1000 feet in depth. Low-profile 35 and 40-ton tractors are used to remove the ore, which is then stacked near the mine portals for grade sampling. After sampling, the ore is transported by 150-ton haul trucks to the mills, where the feed is dried and roasted. Gold is recovered using conventional carbon-in-leach processing. High-quality gold bars are then shipped for commercial refining and sale.
