Sec. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33
The area described comprises 15,395 acres,
more or less.
The proposed project would increase
the existing Round Mountain mine plan
boundary by 3,122 acres to a total of
10,385 acres; expand the Round
Mountain pit by 209 acres to
approximately 1,289 acres; expand the
dewatering operations by 1,325 gallons
per minute (gpm) to a maximum rate of
7,525 gpm; conduct underground
mining operations within the Round
Mountain Pit; expand the north waste
rock dump by 700 acres to
approximately 1,919 acres; construct the
new north dedicated leach pad with a
footprint of approximately 538 acres,
increase the daily production capacity
of the Round Mountain mill from 11,000
tons per day to 22,000 tons per day; and
increase tailings disposal capacity from
a currently authorized 677 acres to
approximately 1,563 acres.
Development in the Gold Hill area
would include delineating a Gold Hill
project boundary of approximately
4,928 acres; excavating an open pit with
a footprint of approximately 222 acres;
creating two waste rock dumps with
combined footprints of approximately
552 acres; constructing and operating a
heap leach facility and lined solution
ponds with a footprint of approximately
300 acres and constructing a 1.1 mile
transportation and utility corridor of
about 66.2 acres between the Round
Mountain area and the Gold Hill area.
The primary method of processing lowgrade ore in the Gold Hill area would be
heap leaching.
Depending on economics, the Gold
Hill operation may be developed either
concurrently with the Round Mountain
operation or sequentially as mining in
the Round Mountain area approaches
completion. Construction and operation
of the Round Mountain Expansion
Project is projected to begin in early
2010 followed by an estimated 13 years
