mine, gold mine
This is the Barrancas Deposit which is accessed from 2 portals: Barrancas and Lagunas. It is one of 3 current underground mines of the Mercedes Gold Project which is 100% owned by Yamana Gold.
The Barrancas deposit is accessed by two separate portals with declines for access. The Barrancas Mine design parameters were modelled after the Mercedes design. Vertical development for the deposit includes a 3.6 m diameter RAR and escapeway raise for
secondary egress. A 127 mm diameter paste fill borehole, drilled from surface, also accesses each level of the Barrancas deposit for the distribution of paste fill to the mined stopes.
