Project Overview and Strategic Importance

  • Lone Tree Plant refurbishment is central to a hub-and-spoke strategy, enabling in-house processing of high-grade refractory and oxide gold from three nearby underground mines: Granite Creek, Archimedes, and Cove.

  • The plant's autoclave and CIL circuits provide flexibility to process both refractory and oxide ores, with only one other comparable facility in Nevada.

  • In-house processing is expected to increase operational control, margins by $1,000–$1,500 per ounce, and free cash flow, especially at Granite Creek and Archimedes.

  • The plant's location and legacy infrastructure support efficient integration with current and future mining operations, providing significant brownfield upside.

  • The project is a key step in reducing reliance on third-party toll milling and enhancing free cash flow.

Engineering Study, Technical Details, and Upgrades

  • Engineering study by Hatch Ltd confirms a technically straightforward, low-risk refurbishment with standard upgrades and low construction intensity.

  • About $13 million invested in engineering over two years; 30% of detailed engineering is complete, improving cost estimate accuracy.

  • Upgrades include a modern POX circuit, mercury abatement, new oxygen plant, tailings filtration, and modern controls to improve efficiency and environmental compliance.

  • Project requires 600,000 direct construction hours and a peak workforce of 400, much lower than typical greenfield projects.

  • Team experience in autoclave and POX operations at major Nevada mines reduces execution risk and supports permitting.

Plant Capacity, Process, and Feed Strategy

  • Autoclave designed for 2,268 metric tons/day (827,800 metric tons/year at 85% availability), matching historic performance.

  • Plant can process refractory ore via POX/CIL and oxide ore via CIL, with potential throughput increase for oxides during autoclave maintenance.

  • Acid-based POX process chosen for higher gold recovery, offsetting slightly higher operating costs.

  • Feed will be managed for consistency, with blending of sulfide ores and stockpiling of oxides for processing during maintenance.

  • No toll milling planned post-commissioning; all underground feed expected to be processed in-house.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
