The Bald Mountain mine lies within the Southern Ruby Mountains of northeastern Nevada, approximately 110 kilometres northwest of Ely, Nevada and 110 kilometres southeast of Elko, Nevada.
The operation is an open-pit, run-of-mine, heap leach gold mine. The ore treatment method is based on conventional heap leaching technology followed by carbon absorption.
In 2008, Bald Mountain produced 105,000 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of $638 per ounce1. Proven and probable mineral reserves as of December 31, 2008 are estimated at 2.85 million ounces of gold2.
