Mining & Milling

Actual Operation: Describe the state of the operation of the mine, deposit, or mining property in the moment in which the feasibility study is done, giving detail if operation were taking place, the differences of mining, the services used and determining the convenience of inconvenience of its application and usage, respectively.

Projected Operation: As a result of the analysis of the actual system of operation new methods of exploitation can be proposed in function to the geological characteristics and other conditioning factors.

Auxiliary Services: Describe each one of the support services for the exploitation operations, treating each one of them in an independent way assigning them manual labor, equipment, machinery, materials, accessories, fuel, energy etc. that will be necessary for the efficient function of the operations. Inside this entry is also considered: comprised air, ventilation, refilling, drainage, water for perforation, electric energy, transportation, communications, work areas etc.

Production Program: Elaborate a program of production considering the volume of mineral reserves of all the squared blocks as probable tested reserves according to the grade of accessibility and the mining labors programmed to make accessible those that are eventually accessible.

Profit of Plant

Actual Operation: Describe the state of operation of the plant in the moment the feasibility study is being done, commenting in the case of operating about the convenience or inconvenience of following on with the method of metallurgic treatment being used.

Make a description of the location of the plant as far as the project and the method or methods or metallurgic treatments being used, showing the corresponding flat sheet, indicating the number of personnel that work in the plant, classified by occupation; and in the same way make a description of the equipment and machinery utilized historic metallurgic balances and the production obtained.

Metallurgic Investigation: The mineral graphic and microscopic studies, metallurgic laboratory tests, pilot plant or industrial scales are essential for learning about the behavior of the mineral.

Projected Operation: As a result of the analysis of the method of actual treatment of the infrastructure and others, define the type of plant, capacity and location including the corresponding blueprints.

Define the resources that are to be used according to the needs of the projected operation.

Structure or restructure the proposed flow sheet detailing the infrastructure and installations.

Determine the metallurgic balance projected in the zones, mineral reserves, classified by zones or type of mineral. The metallurgic tests that need to be done and that will serve as a base to find the value of the mineral by metric ton, which at the same time will be used to value the mineral reserves that are going to serve as a guarantee of an investment loan to be awarded and should be carried out exclusively with the composite of taken samples.

Tailing Deposits: The storage of tailings is fundamental in the final process of the plant treatment. In first place the authorization of the corresponding authorities is needed, for the localization of the same; and in second place, and most importantly, each detail must be studied in order to avoid contamination of the waters and prevent any kind of danger of collapsing and flooding.

Auxiliary Services: The corresponding auxiliary services for the plant, such as work areas, offices, laboratories and others need to be taken into account very precisely and each one of them should be assigned the resources they will be needing.

Production of Concentrates: Present a program of production of concentrates, in function to the metallurgic balances projected for the reserves of deposit mineral out of where the minerals that will be treated will be taken from.
