Weir Minerals expands partnership with Hayward Gordon in Latin America
Advertisement
Apartnership which started over 25 years ago in Chile between mining equipment and service provider Weir Minerals, and flow control specialist Hayward Gordon ULC, has been expanded to cover all areas of Latin America.
“With this extended partnership we are delighted that we will be able to share our experiences with more customers to instil confidence in Hayward Gordon mixers,” said John Pascual, VP of Global Projects and Mixers at Hayward Gordon. “This agreement allows for Weir Minerals to provide all Latin American customers with complete mining packages to fit their needs.” Weir has been supplying the mining industry in Latin America for nearly 90 years. “Hayward Gordon as a strategic partner will allow us to become the preferred supplier of the mining industry,” said Martin Brenner,
managing director of Vulco SA and regional managing director LATAM, Weir Minerals. Founded over 60 years ago, the
Hayward Gordon Group supplies three brands for pumping and mixing operations: Hayward Gordon, Sharpe Mixers and Scott Turbon Mixer. “We’re excited about partnering with Weir Minerals and leveraging their extensive sales and service network,” said Jon Weiner, CEO at Hayward Gordon Group. “Partnering to cover all of LATAM is an important first step, and we are moving quickly to expand this relationship into other areas of the world where Weir Minerals excels at supporting mining and exploration operations.”
resource blocks, which are typically defined by a single drill intersection. Both of these ‘near-mine’ targets can often be tested from the existing underground workings, generally by holes less than 200 metres long. Currently, 275 holes are planned or are already being drilled at 25-metre centres. If positive results are received, additional holes will be drilled to allow the zones in question to be converted into reserves and included in a future mine plan. “We are thrilled with the results received to date,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and CEO of Monarch. “Our near-mine exploration drilling program continues to yield high-grade results as we intersect new mineralized zones and extensions of known zones outside the previously defined resource envelope. Monarch’s goal is to significantly increase the near-mine resource so that a minimal amount of new development and capital will be required to put the mine back into production in the short term.”
Monarch intersects high-grade gold on Beaufor property
Monarch Mining Corporation has identified multiple highgrade gold intersections from underground and surface exploration drilling on its wholly-owned Beaufor Mine gold project, 20 kilometres east of Val-d’Or, Québec. The results include several high-grade assays, including 187.0 g/t Au over 0.5m, 151.5 g/t Au over 0.5m and 147.5 g/t Au over 0.3m, as Monarch continues to test for potential resources in proximity to the historical mine. Opened in the early 1930s, the Beaufor Mine has produced over 1.1 million ounces of gold. The mine is currently on care and maintenance, so Monarch has taken the opportunity to drill-test targets throughout the mine area. In June 2020, the Corporation initiated a 42,500-metre diamond drilling program to test two types of targets: the areas around historical highgrade intersections near the existing underground infrastructure, and isolated

Loulo-Gounkoto’s third underground mine to start production
Barrick Gold’s Loulo-Gounkoto complex’s third underground mine has reached its first mining level and is scheduled to start delivering ore to the plant during the current quarter.
At the same time, a prefeasibility study has started on two more mines on the Loulo permit: an underground operation at Loulo 3 and a large open pit at Yalea South. These, said president and CEO Mark Bristow, would add mining sources and improve feed flexibility, providing further support for the complex’s robust 10-year plan. Exploration programs designed to replace depleted reserves are also continuing to deliver good results. Covid-19 testing and care capacities have been upgraded through the acquisition of new equipment and the complex has been largely unaffected by the third wave of the pandemic. “Loulo-Gounkoto remains a pillar of the Malian economy as well as a driver of local economic development,” said Bristow. “Over the past 24 years, Barrick and its legacy company Randgold Resources have contributed $7.7 billion to the economy, of which $3 billion went to the state in the form of dividends, taxes and royalties. Our long partnership with the country and its people is a testament to how mutually beneficial a relationship of this kind can be.”
Epiroc wins large mining equipment order in Australia
Rio Tinto has placed a major order with Epiroc for mining equipment to be used in its iron ore mines in the Pilbara region of Australia.
The order includes several Pit Viper 271 and SmartROC D65 drill rigs worth over A$20 million.
“Rio Tinto is a long-standing customer of Epiroc that is highly focused on innovation and sustainability,” said Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO. “Epiroc is proud to be able to support the company on its continuous journey toward higher productivity and optimal safety.” Epiroc refers to the Pit Viper 271 as the most productive drill available for rotary tricone and down the hole drilling of 171mm to 270mm holes. Loaded with smart features such as automated drilling and rod handling, the new SmartROC D65 delivers high-quality blast holes with accuracy and precision.
Sandvik to acquire screens and feeders manufacturer Kwatani
Sandvik is to acquire the South African based company Kwatani, a supplier of screens, feeders, fine separators, drives and services for the mining industry. The company will be reported in Stationary Crushing and Screening, a division in Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions.
“I am pleased that we are continuing to execute on our strategy to grow through acquisitions and at the same time strengthening our position in rock processing,” said Stefan Widing, President and CEO of Sandvik. “I look forward to welcome Kwatani to our Group.”
The acquisition is the first since the Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions business area was established at the beginning of 2021, and will expand Sandvik’s equipment range and complement the existing aftermarket product and services portfolio.
Kwatani is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has about 150 employees. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter 2021 and is subject to relevant regulatory approvals.
news Drilling at McIlvenna Bay produces stellar results for Foran Mining
A30,000m winter drill program at Foran Mining’s 100% owned McIlvenna Bay deposit in eastern Saskatchewan continues to deliver stellar results, the company says. The latest five holes, which are comprised of infill drilling and the first step out hole results, support the potential to increase the projected mine life of the deposit. An
additional drill rig, bringing the total to four, has been brought to the site to expedite the drill program. The winter drill program has been underway since mid-January and has focused on increasing Foran’s knowledge of the deeper parts of the deposit to convert current inferred resources to the indicated category. Numerous holes from the program have returned highgrade results over substantial widths, which bodes well for the upcoming feasibility results. “McIlvenna Bay is located in one of the world’s truly safe and premier mining jurisdictions and will represent the world’s first carbon-neutral copper mine from day one of production,” said Dan Myerson, Executive Chairman of Foran. “Our short-term goals remain showcasing the ability to scale McIlvenna Bay along with our other deposits, and their associated potential production profiles. We are
also progressing towards delivering our feasibility study later this year, and bringing this multi-generational camp into production. McIlvenna Bay is a copper-zinc-goldsilver rich VMS deposit intended to be the centre of a new mining camp in a prolific district that has already been producing for 100 years. McIlvenna Bay sits just 65km from Flin Flon, Manitoba and is part of the world class Flin Flon Greenstone Belt that extends over 225km from Snow Lake, Manitoba, through Flin Flon to Foran’s ground in eastern Saskatchewan.
