Reproduction is permitted for educational or noncommercial purposes, provided credit is given to EARTHWORKS and Oxfam America. Around the world, large-scale metals mining takes an enormous toll on the health of the environment and communities. Gold mining, in particular, is one of the dirtiest industries in the world. Massive open-pit mines, some measuring as much as two miles (3.2 kilometers) across, generate staggering quantities of waste—an average of 76 tons for every ounce of gold.1 In the US, metals mining is the leading contributor of toxic emissions to the environment.2 And in countries such as Ghana, Romania, and the Philippines, mining has also been associated with human rights violations, the displacement of people from their homes, and the disruption of traditional livelihoods.

  • Modelling the Optimum Interface Between Open Pit and Underground Mining for Gold Mines
    MODELLING THE OPTIMUM INTERFACE BETWEEN OPEN PIT AND UNDERGROUND MINING FOR GOLD MINES Seth Opoku A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Johannesburg 2013 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. Where use was made of the work of others, it was duly acknowledged. It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before in any form for any degree or examination at any other university. Signed …………………………….. (Seth Opoku) This……………….day of……………..………2013 i ABSTRACT The open pit to underground transition problem involves the decision of when, how and at what depth to transition from open pit (OP) to underground (UG). However, the current criteria guiding the process of the OP – UG transition are not well defined and documented as most mines rely on their project feasibility teams’ experiences. In addition, the methodologies used to address this problem have been based on deterministic approaches. The deterministic approaches cannot address the practicalities that mining companies face during decision-making, such as uncertainties in the geological models and optimisation parameters, thus rendering deterministic solutions inadequate. In order to address these shortcomings, this research reviewed the OP – UG transition problem from a stochastic or probabilistic perspective. To address the uncertainties in the geological models, simulated models were generated and used. In this study, transition indicators used for the OP - UG transition were Net Present Value (NPV), ratio of price to cost per ounce of gold, stripping ratio, processed ounces and average grade at the run of mine pad.

  • Operating Mines
    Search Site Operations SADIOLA GOLD MINE, MALI Sadiola Gold Mine, Mali Overview Geology & Mineralization Mining & Processing Outlook Ownership 41% IAMGOLD, 41% AngloGold Ashanti, Government of Mali 18% Operator AngloGold Ashanti Location The Sadiola Gold Mine is located in southwest Mali, West Africa near the Senegal Mali border, approximately 70 kilometres south of the town of Kayes, the regional capital. Kayes has a population of roughly 127,000 people and is located 510 kilometres northwest of the Mali capital Bamako. The Republic of Mali is a landlocked nation bordering Algeria on the north, Niger on the east, Burkina Faso and the Côte d'Ivoire on the south, Guinea on the southwest and Senegal and Mauritania on the west. The country is just over 1,240,000 km² with an estimated population of almost 12,000,000. The Sadiola mining permit covers an area of 302 km² in a remote part of Mali with little infrastructure. The minesite is accessed by a regional gravel road to Kayes. There is an airstrip at the Sadiola Gold Mine capable of handling light chartered aircraft. Kayes is serviced by rail, road and air from Bamako and from Dakar, the capital of Senegal. Bamako has an international airport with daily flights to many West African and European destinations. Dakar is a major port of entry to West Africa by sea and air and the primary supply route for imported goods coming to the minesite. History The Sadiola mine is a joint venture operation with AngloGold Ashanti and accounts for roughly 10% of IAMGOLD’s production. The existing plant was not built for hard rock processing and because the mine is nearing the end of its supply of oxide ore, or soft rock, an expansion is necessary.

  • Golden Rim to Acquire Highly Prospective Gold Projects in Mali
    27 June 2008 GOLDEN RIM TO ACQUIRE HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE GOLD PROJECTS IN MALI Highlights ¾ Acquisition of 90% of Farabantourou and Sanso Gold Projects in Mali covering 116 square kilometres of highly prospective Birimian greenstone belt. ¾ Both projects are located in close proximity to major gold mines. Sanso lies adjacent to the northern boundary of the AngloGold Ashanti / Randgold Morila gold mine lease. Farabantourou is located approximately 30 kilometres along strike from the AngloGold Ashanti / IAMGOLD Sadiola gold mine. ¾ Inferred Resources with 59,000 ounces of contained gold have been defined to date at Farabantourou. The potential for expanding these resources, particularly at depth, is high. Significant gold-in-soil anomalies elsewhere at Farabantourou remain poorly tested. ¾ The Sanso Project lies in a similar geological setting as the Morila gold deposit. Soil sampling has detected significant gold anomalism in the licence which has not been tested by drilling. The Directors of Golden Rim Resources Ltd (“Golden Rim”) are pleased to announce it has executed an agreement to purchase a 90% interest in two licences (Farabantourou and Sanso) held by S.A.R. Exploration (“SAR”) in western and southern Mali. The acquisition of the Mali licences is subject to GMR conducting a due diligence visit, the grant of Farabantourou licence and the execution of a Sale Agreement. Both licences are underlain by highly prospective Lower Proterozoic Birimian greenstone belts which are one of the most under-explored gold terranes in Africa. It is generally accepted that the Birimian greenstone belts of West Africa have a comparable potential for the discovery of major gold deposits as the Yilgarn greenstone belts of Western Australia.
