MSHA posted that a fatal accident occurred at an underground coal mine in Jefferson County, Alabama, on September 25. According to the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), a roof collapsed at the Oak Grove Resources Mine resulting in the death of one miner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At press time, the cause of the collapse was unclear. Operations are suspended at the mine while an investigation takes place. Alabama Kanu Holdings is listed by MSHA as the mine controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UMWA said this is the ninth coal mine death of 2024 and the first one this year in Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First gold pour at Borealis ADR facility<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Canadian-based Borealis Mining has completed its first gold pour of 2024 from its on-site ADR facility in Hawthorne, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CEO Kelly Malcolm said the milestone was achieved through stripping of 2.5 of the company\u2019s 10 carbon columns, which were loaded from residual leaching with a highly dilute cyanide solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first pour resulted in dor\u00e9 bars weighing about 651 troy ounces and containing 21.968% Au and 20.169% Ag, for approximately 143 troy ounces of gold and 131 troy ounces of silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Borealis now plans to strip the remaining 7.5 carbon columns and then introduce fresh cyanide to a section of the leach pad which has previously not been leached, which should result in a higher gold percentage dor\u00e9 compared to the material generated through residual leaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also recently submitted a number of super sacks of spent carbon fines to Just Refiners (USA) of nearby Reno, which contained 76.504 troy ounces of gold and 305.012 troy ounces of silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are very pleased to announce our first gold pour of the year, which will now increase in frequency as we strip our remaining carbon columns and start to put fresh cyanide on our leach pad,\u201d Malcolm said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are also in the process of seeking contractors to crush our [approximately] 330,000-ton stockpile of ore, which should also generate meaningful gold production for the company.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
