Courageous Lake

Northwest Territories, Canada · Open Pit

Feasibility
Gold
Mine life
12.6 years
Overview
The Courageous Lake gold project is set for a significant transformation with operator Seabridge Gold Inc. planning to spin out the asset into Valor Gold Corp., coinciding with an updated 2024 Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) outlining a more profitable operation.
Production
average annual production of 201,000 ounces of payable gold.
Processing
The proposed mining operation will feed a 7,500-tonne-per-day processing plant. The processing method will involve crushing, grinding, and flotation, with the flotation concentrate then undergoing pressure oxidation and cyanide leaching to produce gold doré bars on-site.
Expansion
A subsequent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) suggests the potential for a much longer mine life through the expansion of the open pit.

GoldCopperSilverMolybdenum
Mine life
33 years
Workforce
During a potential five-year construction period, Seabridge estimates annual onsite employment of approximately 1,800 people. During operations, the estimate is for 1,040 people annually. At peak activity in 2025, the project supported more than 260 workers on site.
Overview
The project received its Environmental Assessment Certificate in 2014. In July 2024, the BC government determined that the KSM Project has been "Substantially Started", which means its environmental approvals remain in place for the life of the project. An extensive field data collection program, including 8,500 meters of geotechnical drilling, was completed in 2025 to support a Feasibility Study.
Production
Over a 33-year mine life, the average annual metal production is estimated at 1.0 million ounces of gold, 178 million pounds of copper, and 3.0 million ounces of silver. The 2022 PFS estimates average annual production of 1.03 million ounces of gold, 178 million pounds of copper, 3.0 million ounces of silver, and 4.2 million pounds of molybdenum.
Processing
The proposed project includes an ore preparation complex at the mine site and a process plant and tailings management facility in the Treaty valley. These two main areas will be connected by twin 23-km-long tunnels, known as the Mitchell-Treaty Tunnels (MTT). A separate molybdenum concentrate and gold-silver doré will be produced at the processing facility.
Expansion
Construction has advanced on the Treaty Creek Terminal switching station to connect KSM to renewable power. Seabridge Gold is advancing towards a partnership for the KSM project, having completed site visits with three joint venture finalists in the third quarter of 2025.

Overview
Golden Grove is a base and precious metals mine located 52 kilometres south-southeast of Yalgoo in Western Australia. It is a world-class volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) geological system. The operation consists of two underground mines, Scuddles and Gossan Hill. Mining operations first commenced in 1989 with the development of the Scuddles underground mine, followed by the Gossan Hill underground mine in 1996.
Production
For the 2025 calendar year, Golden Grove produced 22,000 tonnes of copper, 35,000 tonnes of zinc, 15,000 ounces of gold, and 746,000 ounces of silver. In the December 2025 quarter, copper production was 6,900 tonnes and zinc production was 3,400 tonnes. The mining rate for 2024 was forecast at 1.47 million tonnes per annum.
Expansion
29Metals is progressing with the development of the Gossan Valley project, which is expected to become a third mining front for Golden Grove, with the first ore anticipated by the end of 2026. The company is also focused on recommencing mining at the Xantho Extended orebody in April 2026, following the implementation of ground support upgrades. Studies have confirmed the potential for the Cervantes deposit to extend the operating life of the Scuddles mine. As of 31 December 2025, Ore Reserves at Golden Grove increased to 18.2 million tonnes.

Gold
Mine life
7 years
Production
A 2022 feasibility study estimated an average annual gold production of 54,779 ounces for the first four years. The average production over the initial mine life was expected to be 55,000 ounces of gold per year. These figures are now under review following the decision to re-evaluate the project's scale.
Processing
The planned processing method is through a Carbon-In-Leach (CIL) system.
Expansion
In May 2024, Aura Minerals acquired the Pé Quente and Pezão projects, which are located near the Matupá project. The company is investing in further exploration, including 13,000 metres of drilling, to assess the potential for integrating these new areas and significantly increasing the mineral resources and reserves of a larger, consolidated Matupá project. This led to the postponement of the original construction plans to maximise the potential return on investment. The company has withdrawn its previous long-term production guidance in anticipation of a potential increase in gold reserves from the expanded project.

End year

Mine life
20.5 years
Workforce
The project employs 2,184 personnel, both directly and indirectly, with 68% of the workforce hired from the local community.
Production
The mine achieved commercial production in September 2025. For the fourth quarter of 2025, production totalled 15,777 gold equivalent ounces. The 2025 production guidance was between 33,000 and 40,000 ounces of gold. An updated Feasibility Study from February 2026 estimates a weighted average annual gold production of 65,000 ounces over the life of the mine.
Processing
The ore is processed at a Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) plant with a capacity of 2.0 million tonnes per annum. The process involves a three-stage crushing circuit, followed by ball milling and cyanide leaching. Gold is recovered from the solution using a ZADRA elution circuit and electrowinning, ultimately producing gold doré. The mill was operating at over 80% of its designed capacity of 4,500 tonnes per day as of September 2025, with gold recoveries consistently above 90%.
Equipment
Mining is conducted using conventional open-pit methods, employing hydraulic excavators and a fleet of haul trucks. The mining activities are primarily undertaken by a contractor.
Expansion
In February 2026, Aura Minerals announced an updated Feasibility Study for the Borborema Mine following an agreement with the Brazilian government to relocate a federal road that crosses a portion of the deposit. This agreement allowed for a significant increase in the mine's probable mineral reserves by 82% to approximately 1.5 million ounces of gold (40.7 million tonnes at 1.13 g/t Au). This update extended the mine life to 20.5 years. The company is now advancing engineering and water-access solutions to potentially increase the plant's capacity.

Processing
The processing plant has a capacity of 3,350 tonnes per day. The process is conventional, involving crushing, grinding, flotation, and filtration to produce a copper concentrate with a final grade of 23% Cu. In 2024, a molybdenum recovery circuit was added to the plant to extract molybdenum as a by-product from the concentrate.
Equipment
The mining method is a combination of longitudinal and transverse long-hole open stoping. The underground mine is accessed by two main ramps. Blasted ore is handled by remotely-operated load-haul-dump (LHD) units and transferred to haul trucks.
Expansion
Exploration in 2024 confirmed the extension of skarn mineralisation in the new Esperanza and BW-Connection zones. Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves increased by 1,342,000 tonnes (13%) compared to 2023.
