Twin Creeks Optimizing Sage Mill Blend for Increased Recovery

Twin Creeks Mine, Nevada

Twin Creeks has optimized its Sage Mill blend to increase gold recovery by limiting chemical variation within its various stockpiles. The team evaluated the existing recovery process to determine opportunities for improvement. Improved chemical control has led to a higher-grade blend through the mill - an average of 00.003 ounces per ton or 7,200 ounces of gold per year.
