BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Argonaut Gold, a Canadian gold company focused on delivering maximum value from their projects and gold mining operations, has selected ARES PRISM project control software to manage project cost and increase efficiency on the Magino Project.
Located in northern Ontario, the Magino Project has several key components including an open pit mine, processing plant, tailings storage facility, water quality control pond, overburden stockpile facilities, administration and maintenance buildings. The Magino Project is currently estimated to cost between C$480 million and C$510 million to build and will be constructed over a 24-month period. During construction approximately 500-600 jobs will be created, and the project is forecast to come online in the first half of 2023.
Argonaut announced in January 2021 that the province of Ontario officially filed the closure plan for Magino marking what is, according to President and CEO Pete Dougherty "a significant milestone and allows us to begin site preparation activities for construction of the Magino mine and processing facility."
This year, Argonaut expects to produce 210,000 to 250,000 gold-equivalent ounces at all-in sustaining costs of US$1,250 to US$1,350 per ounce sold.
"I have seen ARES PRISM successfully used on other mining projects and look forward to bringing the same best-in-class cost control to the Magino Project," Kristin Rygnestad, Project Controls Manager at Argonaut Gold, explained.
