Pampalo Mine Deepening and Decline Development started as planned and progressed very well in April

Endomines reports that the re-start of operations at Pampalo mine is continuing to progress very well and all work phases of the re-start are moving forward according to plans and on schedule.

Refurbishment of the existing decline was completed as planned in mid-April, including re-construction of the decline road, work on mine dewatering improvements and power network upgrades. The underground mine infrastructure proved to be in good operating order after the two-years care and maintenance period, and this has enabled the company to commence the mine deepening project on time and on budget.

Development work to extend the decline started immediately following completion of the refurbishment programme. Work on the decline had already advanced approximately 40 m in April, and from May onwards, the monthly development rate will be ramping up to the planned 80-100 advance meters per month.

As part of the mine deepening project, underground diamond drilling will start in May. The drilling will predominantly comprise of definition drilling to confirm the current ore boundaries, and to allow for better planning for ore extraction purposes. In addition to this, a smaller drilling program aiming to preliminary test the most promising exploration targets located close to the current decline will be carried out in May.

The operational site management team will be strengthened by further recruiting. In May-June an underground planner and a surveyor will be hired. Recruitment of milling personnel will commence later in the autumn.

Investment in Expansion of Boliden Kristineberg in Sweden

Boliden has decided to invest SEK 1,250 m in expanding the Kristineberg mine towards the Rävliden mineralization. Most of the investment is conditional on a permit being received for an increase in production. The expansion is expected to contribute to an increase in milled volumes in the Boliden Area to 1.8 Mt.

“This is a very important step in future-proofing the entire Boliden Area. The expansion and modernization of the mine will take place in several stages, during which we will, of course, also evaluate opportunities for employing fossil-free technology. In parallel, we will continue with exploration efforts in the area,” says Stefan Romedahl, President of Business Area Mines.

Boliden has submitted an application for expanded production at the Kristineberg mine to the Swedish Land and Environment Court. At the same time, it has been decided to make preparatory investments in, among other things, infrastructure and water treatment. Conditional on the application being approved, Boliden will complete the investment, which includes a new ramp and a new crushing station. The investment amounts to SEK 1,250 m and production is expected to start in 2023. A completed expansion will mean, in addition to increased mine production, that the life of the Kristineberg mine will be extended and that capacity utilization in the Boliden Area’s concentrator will be improved.

Completed exploration of the Rävliden mineralization has resulted in 8.4 Mt of inferred and indicated mineral resources, with the possibility of additional reserves. The deposit contains copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold.
