Gold mine southwest of Prince George expected to produce 381,000 ounces of gold annually
Having secured the permits it needs to build its gold and silver mine 160 kilometres southwest of Prince George, Artemis Gold is well underway with construction of the Blackwater Gold processing plant.
More than 90 per cent of the processing equipment needed to build the open-pit mine has been awarded to fabricate key items such as the ball mill, gyratory crusher, apron and reclaim feeders, secondary/tertiary crushers, slurry/solution pumps, holding tanks, vibrating screens and gravity concentrators.
The initial phase of mine construction will cost about $645 million. Blackwater intends to process six million tonnes per annum in the first four years of the mine, increasing to nine million tonnes in Year 5 and 12 million tonnes per year in Year 5.
