Teck, Agnico team up at San Nicolas copper project in Mexico

The Newfoundland-focused gold explorer has become a billion-dollar company following "outstanding intervals."

The company anticipates construction to begin this month.

The new discovery is an extension to the high-grade silver-zinc-lead mineralization at Tiria-Shimpia.

The new discovery, named the Novo zone, was found about 200 metres below the existing infrastructure of the Vermelhos mine.

During Q1, Champion was able to increase throughput by 7% to 5.2 million tonnes of ore

JV between Imperial and Newcrest produced just under 16koz of gold and 16m pounds of copper in Q1.

Miner now has the complete dataset for the Northern Starter Pit and for the first six drill holes in the Southern Starter Pit.

The expansion will help boost mill throughput to 1.8 million tonnes annually in the Boliden area of Sweden.

Since beginning drilling this year at its project in Northwest Territories, Canada, company has already found two new kimberlites.
