Twin Hills Mine
The Twin Hills heap leach mining operation commenced production in March 2007 and went on to produce approximately 500,000 ounces of silver before being placed on full Care & Maintenance in July 2009 due to operational challenges.
Alcyone’s initial aim at the Twin Hills Mine is to complete a comprehensive reassessment of the Project with a view to re-commissioning the operation.
Work to date has included the collection of metallurgical samples and the commencement of orebody modelling. Upon completion of this test work, and following a subsequent assessment of the economic parameters, a decision will be made on the best way to further develop the project.
Twin Hills offers a near-term production opportunity, with extensive infrastructure including a pre-stripped open pit mine, ore stockpiles, some processing facilities, leach pads, administration buildings, a laboratory and associated workshops already in place.
Silver mineralisation within the epithermal system at Twin Hills is well defined by drilling from surface to approximately 150m depth over a strike length of 600m, with the mineralisation remaining open to the south.
