Monarch Gold compiles data on Barrick original asset

Monarch Gold (TSX: MQR) announced that it will be undertaking a vast, detailed compilation and 3D modelling program on its Camflo property in Quebec, Canada.

Camflo is known for being Barrick Gold’s original asset. The property,  located 15 kilometres northwest of Val-d’Or and 6 kilometres northeast of Malartic, includes the old Camflo mine and fully permitted mill and consists of 38 mining claims and one mining concession covering a total area of 948 hectares.

Camflo Mines discovered the deposit in 1962 while drilling distinct magnetic features. In 1984, Barrick Resources (later renamed American Barrick) merged with Camflo Mines and the deposit became Barrick’s first substantial asset.

The mine was in production for 27 years, from 1965 to 1992, and yielded a total of 1.65 million ounces of gold from 8,862,240 tonnes of ore grading 5.78 g/t Au. Barrick Gold closed the Camflo mine in 1992 and Richmont Mines acquired it the following year. Monarch obtained the Camflo property in October 2017 when it acquired all the Quebec mining assets of Richmont Mines.

The 2020 program that Monarch wants to undertake includes detailed compilation and 3D modelling that will cover the entire property. 

In a press release, the company said the plan is to review all historical work, including the surface and underground holes drilled from 1939 to 2007, as well as historical plans and sections that detail the underground mine workings, mining and geology. 

A high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic survey will also be flown by Novatem, covering the Camflo property with a 25-metre line spacing.

“The Monarch team consistently applies best practices when evaluating its portfolio of gold projects and moving them through the de-risking stage,” Jean-Marc Lacoste, Monarch’s president and CEO, said in the media brief.

“The Camflo mine was an important milestone in the development of Barrick Gold, but the property has not been investigated using the currently available, more modern 3D modelling and exploration techniques developed over the last three decades. We feel the timing is right to advance the Camflo mine project through the targeting stage and once again into the development stage, which is our ultimate goal.”

AG SAG Mill Liner Function

Semi-autogenous grinding and autogenous grinding is a powder mill with a large cylinder diameter and a slow rotation. The material is fed into the mill through the hollow journal at the feeding end. Under the interaction of the materials, the material crushed to a certain fineness passes through the discharge The hollow journal at the end is discharged out of the machine. The liner is an important part of the grinding machine.

1. The lifting liner lifts the material to a certain height, the impact of the free fall, and the friction effect between the friction between the materials, so that the materials are crushed and finely ground.
2. The shape of the end cover lining board is relatively special. The bulk materials are added through the feeding port. The small pieces of material fall uniformly on the bottom center of the cylinder along the surface of the wave lining and then diffuse to both sides, while the large pieces of material have greater kinetic energy. : The projectile point always tends to the far side, but part of it will inevitably collide with the two sides of the wave lining. Due to the counterattack effect of the wave lining, it can prevent the material from being “segregated” in the axial large and small pieces, so that the large pieces of material can be evenly distributed. The coarse material returned from the discharge end along the lower side, like the newly added material block, evenly falls on the center of the bottom of the cylinder and then diffuses to both sides. The large and fine-grained materials move in the opposite direction along the axial direction at the bottom of the simplified Chinese, so they have a grinding effect.
3. Both the lifting T-shaped lining plate and the wave plate have the function of wedging the block. With the rotation of the mill, the position of the block increases, and the compressive force quickly disappears and becomes a tension when the “arched” bridge moves upward and collapses so that the instantaneous stress generated by the continuous reciprocating motion will cause the block The monomers are separated, resulting in grinding.
