May 7, 2025North Bay advances optimisation of gold production to deliver more to refinery partner in US
North Bay has undertaken recent repairs to the raker classifier and replaced the balls in the ball mill to produce a finer grind targeting minus 150 mesh, which the company says has been determined to be optimal for recovery.
North Bay Resources is making progress on the production optimization front as it delivers more gold to its refinery partner in the US. The company has sent a further 344 pounds of gold concentrate from its Fran Gold Project in Canada to Just Refiners in Reno, Nevada.
About 15 tons of ore from the project was processed at the company’s 100-ton-per-day Bishop Gold Mill in California into concentrate. Meanwhile, sample splits have been sent to ALS Geochemical, also located in Reno. North Bay is assessing whether it will mix all the reagents in a single step or add a second conditioning tank for two-phase reagent mixing.
The 34,360-acre Fran Project is located near two of North America’s largest new copper-gold mines – Centerra Gold’s (TSX:CG) 60,000-tonne-per-day Mt Milligan Copper-Gold Mine and Artemis Gold’s (TSX-V:ARTG) 334-million-tonne Blackwater Mine, both located in British Columbia, Canada. Past exploration and development at the Fran Project, including over 18,000m of diamond drilling, has shown large intercepts of mixed vein and disseminated gold.
