Canada
The CANMET-MMSL EXPERIMENTAL MINE in Val-d'Or, Quebec, was established in 1991 in response to Canadian and local mining industry needs for an increased emphasis on applied research. The former Beacon Gold Mine is an underground facility for in-situ testing and research in a true mining environment. The Experimental Mine is also available for individual companies to test equipment or for training purposes on a contract basis. CANMET-MMSL scientists at the Experimental Mine also offer a range of services to the local mining industry. The equipment suggested for acquisition represents the testing done by CANMET scientists. The mine comprises a unique underground hard rock testing site with an access ramp and five underground levels. There are two interconnected gold mines at this site. The earlier mine, Le Roy was opened from 1931-1932. It was operated by Le Roy Gold Mines Ltd. The Beacon II was open in mid-1980s and was owned by Mines Aurizon Ltd. There are over 2500 metres of drifts, plus raises and secondary openings and shrinkage stopes. Val d’Or area is very important to Canadian mining since gold was discovered there in 1923. Gold, copper, zinc and lead are still mined there today. Val d’Or had been and home to many mining companies such as Bourlamaque, Siscoe, Sigma, Sullivan, Lamaque, Osisco and Northern Star Mining. The history of the town reflects the region’s economic dependence on mining. [Ref. 1] This model was developed at CANMET by Bogdan Bulowski and Patrick Jacques in response to a fatal accident at Mouska mine. The model allowed to remove stoping remotely. One of the top gold producers in the world, Cambior operated five mines -- including underground and open-pit projects -- primarily in Canada, Guyana, and Suriname. In early 2000s Cambior produced more than 600,000 ounces of gold annually and had proved and probable reserves of 5 million ounces. The company's Omai mine in Guyana, which had provided 35% of Cambior's annual gold production, was shutdown in 2005. Its Rosebel gold mine in Suriname began production in 2004, producing about 340,000 ounces its first full year. The operation of the company was affected by the accident at Omai and strikes. In 2005, Cambior sold two of its Canadian base metal mines, Langlois and Bouchard - Hebert in Quebec, to Breakwater Resources. However, it retained its core assets, comprising two gold mining operations in Quebec. Apart from the Sleeping Giant mine, which it co-owned with Aurizon Mines, it operated the Doyon Division comprising the Doyon and Mouska mines, which was one of Canada’s largest gold producers. In November 2006 IAMGOLD acquired 100% of Cambior shares. [Ref. 1]
