Description:
The Donlin Gold Project includes construction of an open-pit mine, a 316-mile natural gas pipeline originating from Cook Inlet, a 227-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant, advanced processing facilities, designated waste management areas, and the necessary transportation infrastructure (marine, river, and overland) to support year-round operations utilizing conventional truck-and-shovel methods. At full capacity, the open pit is expected to reach about 1,653 feet deep, one mile wide, and 2.2 miles long. The mill site and processing plant will handle approximately 59,000 tons per day. Production is estimated to be approximately 1-million ounces of gold annually over the 27-year mine life.
