Executive Summary
The Savkino deposit is operated by Ildikangold using a heap leaching process for gold recovery. Initial design capacity was 500,000 tonnes per year at 2.0 g/t Au. Operations faced challenges with particle size control and seasonal crushing limitations, leading to lower initial recoveries. Significant improvements were made between 2008 and 2011, including the installation of a secondary cone crusher and optimized agglomeration, which increased gold recovery to over 80%. The mine is expected to expand production with a new processing line.
