Present Mine Plan
The mine is accessed through twin declines within the Sierra Valdecañas and a (conveyor) decline close to the method plant within the Linares valley to the highest of the mineralization. The declines break up into three inner footwall ramp programs that entry the ore on a 20 m sub-level spacing, with central accesses and footwall drives to the mineralization. Stage to stage stopes ground to ground are mined from the extents inwards to the central entry (retreat) with rock fill positioned inside 20 m of the retreating face. Truck haulage is presently used for transporting ore and waste, nonetheless the set up of a conveyor within the conveyor ramp in 2024 to 2025 has been permitted and can turn out to be the first methodology for transporting ore from underground to the method plant.
All scheduling is carried out utilizing Enhanced Manufacturing Scheduling (” EPS “) software program. Throughout EPS scheduling, extra dilution starting from 1% to five% for mucking and different sources, in addition to mining restoration components of 95% for longhole stoping and 98% for lower and fill. The schedule (Desk 4) makes use of growth advance charges in fundamental ramps and lateral drifting in ore of 90 m/month and 50 m/month respectively. Nameplate ore processing capability of 4,000 tpd was achieved in Q3 2023, averaging about 3,700 tpd within the latter a part of the 2023 (roughly 1.3 Mtpa).

Mill restoration | 84.4% | 86.6% | 86.8% | 72.3% |
Mission infrastructure
A 6.5 km entry street, principally over hilly terrain, accesses the principle declines portal web site from the mill, with the plant web site being linked to the principle freeway by a 1.4 km street. Each the 1.4 km two lane sealed street, which is appropriate to be used by heavy automobiles, and the entry street to the principle portals space are absolutely constructed and in operation.
Energy is presently equipped to a fundamental substation on the processing web site through a 115 kilovolt (” kV “) overhead energy line linked to the state-owned energy grid. From the mill, a 13.2 kV energy line has been prolonged to the conveyor drive, with an identical line to the principle mine portals location.
With completion of a Reverse Osmosis plant in 2023 and optimizing the consumption of handled municipal wastewater, all course of water necessities are happy by the unique use of handled wastewater. Potable water is bought from native suppliers as required.
Detailed design of the tailings storage facility (” TSF “) for the venture was undertaken by Knight Piésold. It’s estimated that the Juanicipio processing plant will produce roughly 12.2 Mt of tailings for floor storage over the anticipated preliminary mine life of roughly 13 years. Mill tailings shall be discharged to a TSF which has a complete quantity capability of roughly 8.5 Mt as presently designed. It’s envisaged that the remaining required tailings storage will come from potential deepening of the Cell 2 basin (presently being pursued), a future enlargement to the TSF by development of an adjoining cell, and / or from a vertical increase of the dam. The Certified Individual (” QP “) understands that each one allowing documentation for development of Cell 2 has been submitted and is predicted to be permitted in Q1 2024.
Truck haulage is presently used for transporting ore and waste from the mine workings to floor. Improvement waste is both hauled to floor by vehicles through the dual entry declines or positioned immediately into stopes as backfill. As soon as the conveyor system to floor is in operation, ore transport from varied mining ranges shall be by truck haulage to the crusher on 1950 relative stage (” RL “). The crushed materials will then be positioned on a load-out belt that feeds the primary of two sequential underground conveyors that carry the fabric to floor. At floor, a 3rd conveyor delivers the fabric to an 8,000 t capability stockpile that’s adjoining to the mill.
Though the principle upkeep workshop is situated on floor, all main scheduled deliberate upkeep and rebuilds will happen within the underground workshop. The underground workshop is situated on 1850 Stage and has a number of service bays with overhead cranes.
There are two momentary pump stations already in operation that collectively can deal with 2,500 gallons per minute (” gpm “). The primary pump station on 1850 Stage has three pumps put in with a fourth obtainable on stand-by. The present capability is 5,000 gpm. A second everlasting pump station is deliberate for 1650 Stage that can pump to the 1850 Stage station. An extra fundamental pump station is deliberate for the underside of the mine (1250 Stage) with a capability of two,500 gpm. It’s estimated that the present and deliberate pump stations ought to present ample capability for the lifetime of the mine.
The general plan for dealing with groundwater is a sophisticated dewatering technique that can largely depend upon accessing the decrease ranges of the mine nicely forward of stope manufacturing. This early growth method supplies a way for putting in a sequence of dewatering holes and sumps that can dewater sections of the mine previous to manufacturing mining. In 2023, nearly all of Juanicipio course of and operational water necessities was sourced from dewatering underground workings, with the water used primarily for mine growth and dirt management. Juanicipio additionally bought potable nicely water from third events for mine growth and home use.
