Minto Mine Underground Development Project: Capstone Mining Corporation

Commodity: Copper, gold

Aug 6, 2013
Portal, ventilation and utilities at Minto
In 2012 Dumas commenced work at Minto, a Yukon-based copper mine owned by Capstone Mining Corporation. Originally an open-pit operation, Capstone has since engaged Dumas to develop Minto into an underground ramp-access portal mine.
 
Targeted for completion by June 2014, the comprehensive scope of work comprises muck handling using 42-tonne haulage trucks, two raises for ventilation and egress, 300+ metres of vertical development driven by Alimak, and 2,500 metres of lateral work. Additionally, Dumas will provide mechanical, electrical and engineering services to the mine. Despite severely cold temperatures of up to -45 degrees Celsius, our employees have persevered in establishing the portal and are approaching steady development rates.
 
Dumas brings more than just technical expertise to our projects, and Minto is no exception. One of the mine’s challenges has been engaging the local workforce, consisting mostly of First Nations community members with minimal mining experience. To address this, we will launch a First Nations Mine Training Program, open to interested local candidates. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that the communities where we work are sustainable, engaged, and given the opportunity to work with us.
