    Back on the bus after a hearty lunch.


    We travelled east from Eureka just a few miles to the East Tintic Mining District.


    On the way we got a good view of Mt. Nebo in the Wasatch Mountains.

     

    The MHA bus arrived at the Trixie Project Office.

     

    Our hosts from Osisko had set up a display of many different types of mining equipment being used at the Trixie Project.

     

    The Load-Haul-Dump unit (Left) and Haul Truck (Right) were used in the underground development work.

     

     

    (Left, Right, and Below) The MHAers visited a display of mineral specimens from the underground development work. Drill cores illustrated some of the challenges of exploration drilling in fractured ground.

     

     

    The headframe of the Trixie Mine is equipped with a ventilation fan.

    Mobile mining equipment can access the underground ore zone through a decline at the recently constructed Brandy Lee Portal.


    The Mill building at the Burgin Mine is being used for metallurgical testing and development of the new flowsheet to treat the Trixie Project ore.
    In the background are tanks containing the various solutions from the ore leaching process.
