MMG : a newcomer in Canada: Zinc Strategy Project History Major decisions made in 2010 and 2011 2012 Major Tasks Overview of the Izok Corridor Project - High Lake
- Izok
- All season Road
- Port and Shipping
Zinc and Copper Concentrate from both Izok and High Lake as the base business case: both needed for an economic project One plant only for both mines: Mine and Mill at Izok, tailings at Izok Satellite Mine at High Lake, crusher only no plant Port at Grays Bays, storage shed, fuel storage and camp All-weather Road – from Grays Bay to High Lake and Izok sites : 350 km Transport concentrate by truck from Izok to Grays Bay. Concentrate from both High Lake and Izok ore Trucks pick up crushed High Lake Ore on the way back south and bring to Izok for processing Ships at the port from early to mid August to October only NO year round shipping
Assessed all assets-sale of Ulu and Lupin to Elgin Mining in July 2011 Transportation Options Review PFS Completed MMG Kugluktuk Office and Sponsorship Programs Built a Core Team in Canada: engineering, consultation, environmental, H&S in addition to the geology team. Re-Engagement with NIRB 2012 Programs: baseline, geotech, metallurgy, FS
Potential construction start Q3 2015 Potential first ore processed Q1 2018 Potential first concentrate shipped August 2018 Mine Life (Izok) 12 years Metal Production - Zn 2,038 kt (approx. 180 kt pa)
- Cu 554 kt (approx. 50 kt pa)
- Pb 135 kt (approx. 12 kt pa)
- Ag 33.3 Moz (approx 2.8 Moz pa)
- Au 201 koz (approx 17 koz pa)
HIGH LAKE MINE - Two Open Pits
- 3 Mt ore mined over 6 years
- Moderate grade sulphide ore, rich in zinc, with low copper and neglible lead grades
- One Underground Mine
- 4 Mt ore mined over 9 years
- Lower grade than open pit, moderate zinc and copper grades and negligible lead
Primary and possibly secondary crushing - Primary and possibly secondary crushing
- Maintenance facilities
- Warehouse and Laydown Areas
- Fuel storage
- Explosives storage
- Ventilation fans
- Dewatering infrastructure
- Electric power distribution infrastructure
