Lagunas Norte Mine
The Lagunas Norte mine is one of the largest gold mines in Peru and in the world. The mine is located in the north-western part of Peru in La Libertad Region, 140 kilometers from Trujillo. At the end of 2018, the mine produced 245,000 ounces of gold and estimated reserves of 3.95 million oz of gold. In 2019, Barrick announced that it had placed the mine on care and maintenance. In February 2021, Barrick reached an agreement to sell its 100% interest in the Lagunas Norte to Boroo Pte Ltd ("Boroo") for a total consideration of up to $81 million, plus the assumption by Boroo of Barrick’s closure liability relating to Lagunas Norte of $226 million backed by an existing $173 million bonding obligation. On 1 June 2021, the sale was completed and Boroo says Lagunas Norte represents a transformative opportunity as the its goal is to become a mid-tier producer in the near term. Boroo plans to initiate the next phase of the project to recover carbonaceous oxide ore and also has longer ter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
La Libertad Region
La Libertad (; in English: ''The Liberty'') is a region in northwestern Peru. Formerly it was known as the Department of La Libertad (').

Gold
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from la, aurum) and atomic number 79. This makes it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. It is a bright, slightly orange-yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal in a pure form. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental ( native state), as nuggets or grains, in rocks, veins, and alluvial deposits. It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum), naturally alloyed with other metals like copper and palladium, and mineral inclusions such as within pyrite. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides). Gold is resistant to most acids, though it does dissolve in aqua regia (a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid), forming a soluble tetrachloroaurate anion. Gold is ...

Zinc Mining
Zinc mining is the process by which mineral forms of the metal zinc are extracted from the earth through mining. A zinc mine is a mine that produces zinc minerals in ore as its primary product. Common co-products in zinc ores include minerals of lead and silver. Other mines may produce zinc minerals as a by-product of the production of ores containing more valuable minerals or metals, such as gold, silver or copper. Mined ore is processed, usually on site, to produce one or more metal-rich concentrates, then transported to a zinc smelter for production of zinc metal. Global zinc mine production in 2020 was estimated to be 12 million tonnes. The largest producers were China (35%), Australia (12%), Peru (10%), India (6.0%), United States (5.6%) and Mexico (5.0%), with Australia having the largest reserves. The world's largest zinc mine is the Red Dog open-pit zinc-lead-silver mine in Alaska, with 4.2% of world production. Major zinc mine operators include Vedanta Resources, Gl ...
