The 2012 Pre-Feasibility Study outlines the recovery methods for the Reed Copper Deposit, detailing the processing plan at the Flin Flon Concentrator. Run of mine material will be transported by truck to Flin Flon, crushed to less than 150mm, and then further crushed to 20mm in a two-stage closed circuit plant. Due to the relatively low zinc grade of the Reed deposit, the plan is to produce a copper concentrate with gold and silver credits rather than a zinc concentrate.

This technical report outlines the recovery methods for the Taviche Project, conducted by Broad Oak Associates in 1993. The assessment assumes that the mineralization present at the site is amenable to standard mineral processing techniques, specifically crushing, grinding, and flotation. Based on comparable operations in the region, the expected recovery rate for silver is estimated to be in the 80% range.

This technical report details the recovery methods and processing plant operations at the Meadowbank Mine as of February 2012. The facility utilizes a conventional gold plant flowsheet originally designed by Hatch Engineering after Agnico-Eagle acquired the project in 2007. The process includes primary and secondary crushing, grinding via a semi-autogenous mill and ball mill (SABC circuit), gravity concentration, and gold recovery using a carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuit. The plant achieved commercial production in March 2010 and has undergone capacity upgrades, including the addition of a secondary crusher in 2011, increasing throughput to 9,840 tonnes per day.

This Feasibility Study outlines the expansion of the Choco 10 gold recovery plant operated by Rusoro. The existing facility, commissioned in 2005, currently treats saprolitic material at a throughput of 5,000 t/d. The proposed expansion aims to increase total capacity to 20,000 t/d by adding a new 15,000 t/d processing line while retaining the existing 5,000 t/d circuit. The new design focuses on treating hard rock ore with a target annual production of 500,000 oz of gold.

This NI 43-101 Technical Report outlines the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the AZOD Zinc Oxide Project located in Cusco, Peru. The project focuses on the recovery of zinc and lead from oxide mineralization using a combined pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processing route. The proposed facility includes a crushing plant, a Waelz rotary kiln for reductive roasting, and a conventional hydrometallurgical refinery for fume processing.

This Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report outlines the processing and recovery methods for the La Preciosa Silver Property located in Durango, México. The report details a metallurgical testing program confirming that conventional cyanide leaching technology is suitable for recovering silver and gold from the feed material. The design basis for the concentrator facility is established at 5,000 dry metric tonnes per day, with a projected annual throughput of 1.8 million dry metric tonnes.

This section of the technical report details the recovery methods for the Timmins Talc-Magnesite project. The process facilities are designed to treat 500,000 tonnes per year of talc-magnesite ore. The plant operates continuously with 85% availability to exceed 310 days per year. The production process involves crushing, grinding, flotation for talc recovery, and leaching for magnesium oxide production.

The 2026 NI 43-101 Technical Report for the La Plata Project, specifically focusing on the Allard Cu-Ag Porphyry Deposit, outlines conceptual metallurgical studies regarding recovery methods. The proposed flowsheet suggests sequential recovery techniques, starting with copper sulfide flotation, followed by magnetic separation for magnetite, flotation for apatite, and gravity concentration for heavy minerals like zircon. These pathways are noted as commonly employed in similar mining operations targeting specific mineral concentrates.
