Mana mine Phase 4 plant expansion, Burkina Faso
Name and Location
Mana mine Phase 4 plant expansion, Burkina Faso.
Project Description
The fourth-phase plant expansion at the Mana mine will increase throughput capacity by 1 200 t/d, representing an additional 26 000 oz to 30 000 oz of gold a year, compared with current capacity.
Plant capacity is expected to be up to 7 200 t/d in bedrock and up to 8 000 t/d in blended ore.
Primary changes to the processing plant include the addition of a pebble crusher; the use of a third ball mill, previously used as backup; and the addition of two carbon-in-leach tanks, a thickener, gensets, critical spares and some equipment capacity upgrades.
This new phase of expansion was launched as a result of the potential underground operation, continued growth in reserves and resources in the vicinity of the plant, as well as exploration results suggestive of the surrounding area’s superior potential.
Value
The budget for the fourth phase of plant expansion is $25-million, including $18-million for enhancements to the plant and $7-million for additional mining equipment.
Duration
The expansion is scheduled for commissioning by the end of 2011.
