Hatch-CIM Mining & Minerals Project Development Safety Award
The Endako mine is a primary surface molybdenum mine located near Fraser Lake, 185 kilometres northwest of Prince George, British Columbia.
The old Endako mine facility originally included a concentrator that processed ore through crushing, grinding and flotation circuits into molybdenum disulfide concentrate. It also included a multiple-hearth roasting facility that converted the concentrate into commercial grade molybdenum oxide.
In April 2008, Thompson Creek Mining began the expansion and modernization project designed to increase the ore processing capacity to 52,000 tonnes per day. The Endako Expansion Project involved construction of a new concentrator facility, including ore stockpile and reclaim, grinding, flotation, pebble re-circulation and regrind circuit. The project was completed in March 2012.
