Gowest Suspends Timmins Operations

Mining operations are being temporarily suspended at the Gowest Gold Bradshaw site.

The Bradshaw Gold Deposit is located just north of Timmins. The company says it will be suspending operations because there is no more room for stockpiling bulk sample gold-bearing rock and the timing has to be worked out for processing the material. Gowest says some of the highlights of the ongoing Bulk Sample Program include:

  • Completed over 2,098 metres of underground development
  • The 30, 45 and 60 metre levels are under development
  • Silling is well underway on all levels
  • 28,567 tonnes of development material have been stockpiled on surface for sorting, milling and
    sale as concentrate
  • No injuries at the project to date for mine site surface and underground construction
  • Water treatment plant is fully operational and the discharge is environmentally compliant
  • Agreement to process concentrate in place (see Gowest news release dated February 14, 2018)

Gowest says its key partners are supporting the company’s effort to develop the Bradshaw Mine. The Bradshaw location started ramping for the bulk sample program in May of 2017.

The MyTimminsNow.Com newsroom has reached out to Gowest to comment on how this will affect its employees.
