An accelerated development of resources at Aim-listed Anglesey Mining’s Parys Mountain project, in north Wales, over a shorter mine life, will be economically more attractive. This is based on results from a continuing scoping study into the project, which is being undertaken by engineering firms Micon and Fairport. Anglesey has asked Micon and Fairport to consider alternative production and throughput scenarios at various levels between 500 t/d and 1 000 t/d. The initial approach adopted for the scoping study was a plan to mine these resources at 500 t/d, or 165 000 t/y, beginning with development of the mineral deposits closest to surface.
