Canada-based Kinross Gold is evaluating the potential for a return to long-term production in Chile and has completed the scoping study for the Lobo-Marte project, in the Maricunga district, about 80 km from its La Coipa mine.
The scoping study results indicates that Lobo-Marte could produce about 4.1-million ounces of gold, at 1.2 g/t, over a ten-year mine life, Kinross said this week.
