Comments on the production information

  • IN 1974, ANNUAL ORE PROD. WAS 4,050000 MT, 2274 EMPLOYEES, 17 MT PER MAN-SHIFT, 11 BLOCKS IN PRODUCTION, 4 BLOCKS IN DEVEL., 8 MONTHS REQUIRED TO PREPARE A BLOCK. MILL (BULK FLOAT) IS UNDERGROUND DUE TO HEAVY SNOW & RUGGED TOPOGRAPHY. FIRST FULL YEAR OF PROD.WAS 1971. PROD.INCREASED FROM 53600 MT CU IN 1971 TO 68400 MT IN 1974 BUT HAS DECLINED TO ABOUT 58000 MTPY CU IN 1977&1978 DUE TO DECLINING GRADE. THE MINE + MILL WAS INCREASED FROM A NOMINAL 10,000 MTPD TO 14,000 MTPD BY 1978 BUT EVEN AT EXPANDED RATE THE PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED TO FALL TO ABOUT 52,000 MTPY CU UNTIL 1982 AND THEN LEVEL OFF. THE EXPANSION TO 20,000 MTPD IS ONLY BEING STUDIED IN 1979-1980. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS EVALUATION IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE EXPANSION WILL BE COMPLETE BY 1982. IT HAS ALSO BEEN ASSUMED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUPPLY CURVE STUDY THAT THE 135,000,000 MT ORE AT INDICATED LEVEL WILL BE MINED FROM THE YEAR 2004 ONWARD IN 1978 HINTS OF A POSSIBLE STRIKE APPEARED IN THE PRESS. FLOODING OF THE MINE OCCURED IN DECEMBER, 1978. THE MINE HAD BEEN CLOSED FOR 2 WEEKS AS OF DEC.19,1978 AND AT THAT TIME WAS NOT EXPECTED TO RESUME PROD. UNTIL FEB. OR MARCH, 1979

  • PUBLISHED INVESTMENT FIGURES ARE AS FOLLOWS $14,500,000 FOR PROPERTY ACQUISITION, EXPLORATION, ETC. OVER 11 YEARS (1957 - 1967). $89,500,000 FOR INITIAL MINE & MILL-10,000 MTPD (1967-1970) $ 2,191,000 FOR MOLY PLANT (1975-1976). TOTAL INVESTMENT TO PRODUCTION (1957-1970) WAS SAID TO BE $157,000,000 (THE DIFFERENCE-$157-104 MILLION IS PROBABLY INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS (TOWN, PIPELINE & POWER LINE).
  • MOLY FLOTATION PLANT WAS BUILT IN 1976 AT SALADILLO AT A COST OF $2,200,000- A FERRIL CHLORIDE LEACH CIRCUIT WAS ADDED TO THIS PLANT ONE AND A HALF YEARS LATER.
