In the vast region of the Northern Territory in Australia, you will find the Tanami Gold Mine, a masterpiece of modern engineering and geology. Being the second-largest underground gold mine in Australia and belonging to Newmont Corporation, the Tanami Gold Mine is a mine of high productivity and durability.
As for its classification, it is worth mentioning that the deposit belongs to the category of low sulphidation and sediment-hosted, and that significantly affects the process of its exploitation. The ore in the deposit contains a lot of Proven and Probable Reserves, equalling 179.8 tons of gold with an average of 5.15 grams per tonne by 2025. At the same time, the Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources include 130.6 tons of gold with an average of 3.21 grams per tonne.
For example, Tanami was able to process 3.1 million tonnes of ore, resulting in an amazing 15.7 tonnes of refined gold, which would only have been possible through a throughput capability of 3.2 million tonnes per year. The processing technique used at this mine includes gravity separation and carbon-in-pulp (CIP), which yields an amazing recovery of 96.8%. This is done at an AISC of 1,145 US dollars per ounce.
