The Blackwater gold mine, in central British Columbia, is in the final stages of construction and commissioning, with the first gold pour scheduled before the end of the year.

In a project update last week, Artemis reported that mining operations in the openpit had started.

First ore has been fed to the processing facility’s crushing circuits. The commissioning team is set to hand over the crushing circuit to the operations team in the next few weeks.

The tailings storage facility (TSF) construction activity is also complete and the TSF is ready for production.

Phase 1 of Blackwater entails a six-million-tonne-a-year initial throughput. In Phase 2, this will increase to nine-million tonnes a year in the fifth year, ramping up to 12-million tonnes a year in the sixth year. Phase 3 will boost throughput to up to 20-million tonnes a year.
