Processing
Processing method involves hauling run-of-mine ore directly to heap leach pads. Gold is recovered from the pregnant solution using a standard carbon-in-column circuit, followed by desorption, recovery circuits, and a refinery. The gold and silver concentrate is heated in an induction furnace to produce gold/silver doré, which is then shipped off-site for further refining. The processing facilities include seven active heap leach pads, process ponds, a carbon-in-column plant, and a gold plant. The gold plant at Mesquite also processes carbon from Equinox Gold's Castle Mountain Mine. Gold recovery rates average approximately 75% for oxide ore and 35% for non-oxide ore, with a 90-day leach cycle.
Equipment
