Konongo Gold Project, Ghana

The Konongo Gold Project, located 200km northwest of Accra in Ghana, recommenced mining operations and poured its first gold in June 2011, within three months of obtaining environmental approval. The mine is 70% owned by Signature Metals and 30% by the Government of Ghana.

"The Konongo Gold Project, located 200km northwest of Accra in Ghana poured its first gold in June 2011."

In October 2011, Signature Metals announced its decision to be acquired by Singapore-based gold mining company LionGold. The deal is subject to the shareholders' approval. LionGold will become the new owner of the Konongo mine if the acquisition is successfully concluded.

The mine was discovered in 1903 and was operated by Mwana Africa until 1997. Signature Metals purchased the non-operational mine in May 2009 with an aim to expand mining operations in Africa.

The Konongo project comprises of 16 known gold deposits situated along the 12km strike of the Ashanti Gold Belt of Ghana. It covers nearly 192km2 of the belt area and involves re-commissioning and capacity increase of the Konongo Gold Project.

Signature Metals restarted the project in order to capitalise the potential reserves and expand the capacity to a targeted production rate of 700,000 tons per annum (tpa) while reducing the operating costs by 5% to 15%.

The project required an investment of $3bn to $4bn. AMITAAB, a Ghanaian construction and engineering company, was appointed to refurbish and reconstruct the existing infrastructure that included 350,000t of carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant.

Expansion of the Konongo mine

The Ministry of Land, Forests and Mining extended the mining license of the Konongo Gold Project by 13 years to 2023 based on the positive feasibility studies and environmental assessments completed by Tagit Consulting. The extension had allowed recommencing operations on the Konongo Gold Project which was lying idle since 1997.

The project involved refurbishment of the existing carbon-in-leach (CIL) plant and revising the mining designs and schedules to re-optimise production and operating margins. It also involved reclamation of the old Konongo tails dam.

Mining at the tails dam of the old Konongo recommenced after the environmental permit was received from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ghana in March 2011 and continued even in the third quarter of 2011.

Gold production rates at the Ghanaian mining project

Past production from the project was reported to be 1.6 million ounces (Moz) at a head grade of 11.8 grams per ton (g/t). The expansion aimed to increase the production by 40,000oz to 60,000oz of gold at grades of 2g/t to 3g/t.

The current capacity of the mine is 2,295oz of gold doré. Signature Metals plans to ramp-up the mining operations to 350,000tpa. Proceeds from the sale of initial production will be used for further exploration and expansion of the mine.

Geology and reserves of the Konongo gold mine

Most of the Konongo Gold prospect lies in the Obenemase area of the Ashanti Gold Belt. It consists of Upper Birimian and Tarkwaian rock series folded in the northeast trend. The Upper Birimian limbs are separated by Tarkwaian sediment in the syncline core in the southeast.

"The mine is 70% owned by Signature Metals and 30% by the Government of Ghana."

Mineralisation occurs in quartz reef style in disseminated sulphide present within the Upper Birimian Volcano-sedimentary rocks.

The Old Konongo tails dam contain indicated and inferred resources of 61,150oz graded at 1.09g/t on an average.

The total resource in the reclaimed project as of June 2010 is 19.6 million tons of gold graded at 2.02g/t for 1.27moz of contained gold.

The old Konongo project was an open pit operation. The expansion operations commenced with the mining of the new and existing open pit operations at the Apan, Asewera, Atansu and Boabedroo deposits located within a radius of 1k to 2.5km of the centre of the project area.

Transport and handling

Konongo Gold Project is accessible via sealed roads from the Tema Port in Accra. It is also in proximity to port facility at Takoradi, which is 300km south of the project area.

Ghana's high transmission electrical line also runs from the project area with a substation situated in the property. All other support business and services are located within 50km of the project area in Kumasi.

La Guitarra Silver Mine, Mexico

La Guitarra silver mine is situated 130km southwest of Mexico City in the Temascaltepec Mining District. The mining district is 100% owned by Canadian mining company Silvermex Resources and covers an area of 397km2.

The operations of the La Guitarra mine first began in the early 1550s and were ceased in the 19th century due to lack of technology and investment.

The mine was reopened in 1990 by Compania Mineria Arauco with an initial production capacity of 30 tons a day (tpd). Luismin purchased the licensing rights of the mine in 1993 and expanded the production rate to 340tpd.

Genco Resources (thereafter renamed Silvermex Resources) acquired the La Guitarra mine and a 340tpd processing plant from Luismin in August 2003.

The mine was closed in 2009 due to lack of development. Its operations recommenced in April 2010 and achieved its full production capacity of 320tpd in November 2011.

Reserves of gold and silver at the Mexican mine

Proven and probable reserves of the La Guitarra mine stand at 11mt graded at 113g/t Ag and 0.93g/t Au.

Geology of the Temascaltepec mining district

"The mining district is 100% owned by Canadian mining equipment company Silvermex Resources and covers an area of 397km2."

The La Guitarra mine lies in the southeastern end of the Mexican belt. It is situated in the southern part of the Sierra Madre Occidental or the Mid-Eocene Ignimbrite volcanic terrain.

The region is characterised by mafic volcanics of the Trans-Mexican belt superimposing the intermediate to felsic Eocene volcanics.

The mine hosts rocks from Mesozoic schist and slates to Tertiary age volcanics and intrusives. It is understood to have been mineralised due to the late Miocene volcanic disruptions.

Hundreds of epithermal veins cross the property. The veins are classified into four main trends namely El Coloso / Nazareno, La Guitarra, Mina de Agua and El Rincon. These veins are spanned to a strike length of 15km and depth of 4km.

Mineralisation at the La Guitarra silver mine

Mineralisation is hosted in the vein type ore bodies in the form of quartz-monzonite compositions. Silver mineralisation occurs in silver sulphides, acanthite, polybasite, proustite-pyrargyrite, sulfosalts and electrum.

Gold mineralisation contains electrum particles and free gold with oxidation features.

Other minerals include white crystalline quartz, chalcedony, amethyst and adularia, sphalerite, pyrite, fluorite, calcite, chalcopyrite, barite, galena and clay.

Production rates, mining methods and ore processing at La Guitarra

Production at the mine commenced in 1993.

"La Guitarra silver mine is situated 130km southwest of Mexico City in the Temascaltepec Mining District."

The mine produced 57,343t of ore containing 303,847oz of Ag and 3,284oz of Au between January 2011 and September 2011.

The La Guitarra deposit is mined using both open-pit and underground mining techniques. The conventional drilling and blasting is carried out in the open-pit operation. In the underground mining, access to cut and fill stope is provided by adits and ramps.

The development involved three operational pits (Los Angeles, La Cruz and Creston) and four main vein trends.

The stockpiled ore is processed in a concentrating mill having a rated capacity of 340tpd. It is crushed to 12.5mm in three stages by using jaw crushers.

The crushed ore is fed to two stockpiled conveyors for transmission to two grinding mills operating in parallel. The ground ore is carried to two counter current decantation (CCD) thickener circuits to undergo cyanide leaching in agitated tanks and generate pregnant solution.

The pregnant solution is transferred to the standard Merrill-Crowe Zinc Precipitation Circuit to recover silver and gold. The precipitates are fed to smelter to remove the contaminants and produce pure silver and gold dore bars for export.

The barren solution from the precipitation circuit is recirculated to the grinding circuit and CCD thickeners.
