Last updated 3/1/2015 at Noon
Imperial Metals Corp. Feb. 17 reported commissioning of the mill at the Red Chris copper-gold mine in northwestern British Columbia is progressing well. Both the SAG and ball mill drive systems have been operated at 100 percent load factors. The flotation circuits and secondary regrind mill are now being commissioned with low-grade ore, resulting in the first production of copper concentrate at the province's newest mine. The company said mining of the East and Main zones is ongoing.
