End year
2100
Mine life
70 years
Workforce
During the construction phase, the project is expected to create 5,500 direct and 19,000 indirect jobs.
Overview
The Vicuña Project is a development-stage mining asset operated by Vicuña Corp., a 50/50 joint venture between Lundin Mining Corporation and BHP. The project is located in the Vicuña District, spanning the border of Argentina and Chile, with deposits in the San Juan Province of Argentina and the Atacama Region of Chile. Development is planned in three stages, with a final investment decision targeted for the end of 2026.
Production
Projected production figures for the first 25 years of operation average 400,000 tonnes of copper, 700,000 ounces of gold, and 22 million ounces of silver annually. Peak annual production over a ten-year period is forecast to be over 500,000 tonnes of copper, 800,000 ounces of gold, and 20 million ounces of silver.
Processing
Stage 1: sulphide concentrator with a capacity of 175,000 tonnes per day, conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation to produce copper concentrate. Stage 2: heap leach circuit and a solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) plant to produce copper cathodes and gold-silver dore. Stage 3: expansion of concentrator to 293,000 tonnes per day, roasting plant to treat concentrate with high arsenic levels.
Equipment
shared fleet of ultra-class haul trucks with a 360-tonne payload, loaded by a combination of electric rope shovels and large hydraulic excavators. The initial fleet is expected to consist of 20-30 haul trucks, expanding to 90-100 trucks and 8-10 primary loading units at peak production. Wheel loaders will be used for stockpile management, and large-diameter rotary blast hole drills are planned for production drilling. Infrastructure to be developed includes access roads, power transmission lines, a water supply, and tailings management facilities. A desalination plant and associated pipelines are planned for Stage 3.

Çöpler Gold Mine

Erzincan Province, Turkey · Open Pit

Care And Maintenance
GoldSilverCopper
Opened
2010-01-01
Workforce
Prior to the suspension of operations in February 2024, the total number of employees at the mine site was 2,702. This included 669 Anagold employees and 2,033 subcontractor employees.
Overview
The mine is situated in the Erzincan Province of east-central Turkey, approximately 550 kilometres east of the capital, Ankara. The nearest urban centre is the town of İliç, located about 6 kilometres away. As of 13 February 2024, all operations at the mine are suspended following a significant slip on the heap leach pad. The mine is currently in a state of care and maintenance. The Turkish government has revoked the mine's environmental and operating permits.
Production
In 2023, the Çöpler mine produced 220,999 ounces of gold.
Processing
Oxide ore is treated via a heap leaching process. Sulphide ore is processed through pressure oxidation (POX). Following the February 2024 incident, it has been stated that the heap leach pad will be permanently closed, and heap leach processing will no longer occur at the site. The sulphide plant has a design throughput of 9,000 tonnes per day, though operating guidelines may revert to a previous environmental impact assessment which prescribes a lower rate of 6,000 tonnes per day. The processing facility also includes a grinding and crushing area, with a run-of-mine (ROM) ore feed processed through an MMD 750 toothed roll sizer before being sent to a SAG mill. An on-site oxygen plant supplies gaseous oxygen for the pressure oxidation circuit.
Equipment
A February 2024 technical report listed the contractor's mobile equipment at the Çöpler mine, which includes a fleet of haul trucks, loaders, and other machinery. The grinding and crushing area is serviced by a CAT 980 front-end loader.

Mine life
26 years
Overview
Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mine (CC&V) is an active, large-scale surface mining operation owned and operated by SSR Mining Inc. The mine is located in Teller County, Colorado, United States, approximately 160 kilometres southwest of Denver. The primary commodity produced at CC&V is gold, with silver also recovered. It is an open-pit operation using heap leach processing.
Production
For the period from 28 February 2025 to 30 September 2025, the mine produced 85,165 ounces of gold. The production guidance for SSR Mining's attributable portion in 2025 is between 90,000 and 110,000 ounces of gold. The average annual production for the three-year period from 2026 to 2028 is projected to be 141,000 ounces of gold.
Processing
The ore is processed using a heap leach method; it is placed on valley-leach facilities either as run-of-mine material or after a two-stage crushing process. The gold and silver are recovered from the pregnant solution in an adsorption-desorption-recovery plant, producing a gold-silver doré.
