KGHM International Ltd.

Victoria Project

Oct 16, 2014



Location: Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
Type of Mine: Underground
Ownership: 100% 
Type of Ore Body: 'Frood-style' South Range Breccia
Metals: Ni, Cu, Pt, Pd & Au
Status: Engineering and permitting
 
In 2002, KGHM International acquired the mineral rights to the Victoria property and initiated an exploration program on the property. Environmental and engineering work, and consultation with First Nation communities have progressed, and project permitting is under way.
 
When all regulatory requirements are met, the project will enter the Advanced Exploration stage, which entails development of surface and underground infrastructure to permit detailed underground drilling for a feasibility study. The results of the feasibility study will determine whether the project is developed into a producing mine.


KGHM International and the Environment
 
• Ore will be handled, processed and stored on lined containment pads. Any runoff from these pads will be collected and treated.
• We will construct a storm water management system which collects potentially impacted site runoff water and diverts it to a surface pond for treatment.
• Since we operate close to communities we use a combination of water and dust suppressants to control dust emissions on an as needed basis. Surface crushers will be fully enclosed to control dust emissions as well. Crushed ore will be transported offsite in covered haul trucks.


KGHM International in the Community
 
Sudbury Operations employees are the best ambassadors a company can have and many make an effort year-round to make the community better. These are some of the many recent examples of community involvement and generosity:
• Sudbury Crime Stoppers – The annual black-tie dinner and silent auction is a high profile local event and several Sudbury Operations managers and their spouses attended and a donation to this cause was made.
• Chamber of Commerce – Sudbury Operations was a platinum sponsor when the Sudbury Chamber of Commerce hosted a luncheon for the Minister of Northern Development and Mines.
