Red Lake
Red Lake is an underground gold mine in western Ontario, Canada. The operation comprises the Red Lake, Campbell and Cochenour mines over a strike length of 7km. The Cochenour mine is connected to Red Lake by a 5km haulage drift, with ore processed at the Campbell Mill.
Red Lake is accessible by major highways, with commercial air services to the mine from Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. Red Lake is supported by an experienced and highly-skilled workforce largely residing in adjacent towns of Red Lake and Balmertown and benefits from strong community partnerships with Lac Seul and Wabauskang First Nation Groups.
Mining at Red Lake is undertaken predominantly via long-hole stoping. Processing at the Campbell mill is via conventional crushing and grinding followed by gravity concentration to recover free-milling gold, with refractory gold recovered by floatation followed by pressure oxidation, neutralisation and CIL.
Mining
The Red Lake operation is an underground mine, operating in three different historical mining complexes; Red Lake, Campbell and Cochenour. All three complexes are interconnected underground. Access is through three shafts: Cochenour, Reid and No. 3. The primary mining method is sublevel open stoping, along with traditional and modified Avoca methods. Ore and waste is moved via internal passes, trams and ramp trucking. Ore is hoisted to surface through two different production shafts, Reid and #3 Shaft. Ventiliation is a push-pull system consisting of 4 intake and 5 exhaust fans and 15 underground booster fans. Mining dates back as far as 1939 at the Cochenour deposit, and the current Red Lake Gold Mines organisation dates to the 2006 acquisition of the Campbell mine by Goldcorp. Mining is carried out with a company-owned fleet of mining equipment, supplemented by contractor production drills.
Evolution’s planned operational improvements include:
- Improved drill and blast practices to increase mining recovery and reduce dilution
- Improve mining fleet efficiency and effectiveness
- Rationalisation of material movement
