Victoria resumes ops at Eagle, new GM appointed
The repair of the overland conveyor that temporarily halted ore crushing, conveying and stacking on the heap leach facility at the Eagle gold mine has been completed and operations have resumed, owner Victoria Gold reported on Monday.
On September 29, the conveyor experienced a splice failure of the main belt, which has been in service since 2019.
Earlier this month, Victoria said that it did not expect to meet its full-year guidance of 165 000 oz anymore, owing to the time required to replace the overland conveyor belt.
Meanwhile, Victoria also on Monday announced the appointment of Timothy Fisch as VP and GM for the Eagle mine, in central Yukon.
Fisch, a metallurgist, has been a member of the mining community for the past 44 years, beginning with Bethlehem Copper in 1978. He has held senior positions with Corona’s Mascot gold mine, BHP Nevada’s Robinson project and Unimin Canada’s Blue Mountain project.
He was previously GM for Imperial Metals’ Mount Polley mine and Red Chris mine and most recently was a member of the project design team for Coeur Mining’s Silvertip Expansion project.
“Tim’s extensive background in process operations and his wealth of experience operating in the Pacific Northwest make him ideally suited to lead the operational team at Eagle,” commented president and CEO John McConnell.
