The Martha Mine eventually grew into one of the world''s most important gold and silver mines, after industrial cyanide processes made recovering gold from the lowgrade ores easier. Waihi prospered with the mine, by 1908 being the fastestgrowing town in the
The mining process at Macraes is circular and follows a cycle of exploration, mining, processing and rehabilitation and closure. With a 30year history of development spanning fluctuating gold prices, there are multiple examples of where an area has been explored, mined, processed and rehabilitated, only to be explored mined, processed and rehabilitated again 10 to []
At the Martha Mine rock is crushed and then transported from the open pit to the processing plant and waste rock embankments by an overland conveyor. The crushers The crushing system at the Martha Mine open pit consists of a combination of two types of crushers, a
About. Waihi Gold Mine Tours offers visitors a unique opportunity to get to know Waihi''s fascinating historic and current gold mining story. Youll be fitted out with safety gear as you board our 11 seater van, given a safety briefing then taken inside the security fence to view the mine operations from the best available vantage points.
The First Waihi Gold Mining Compnay In 1890 the Martha Company and other claims were bought by the Waihi Gold Mining Company of London, who invested a great deal of capital into the mine. At the time, trials were being carried out to find a more efficient way to extract precious metals from the quartz rock.
Ore and waste rock are mined by excavators loading onto trucks. In the open pit the trucks take their loads to the primary crushers or to stockpiles. In the underground mine the ore is taken to stockpiles at the processing plant, while waste rock is stockpiled for reuse as backfill once mined areas are completed.
Waihi is a gold town, and we have a fascinating and unique gold story to tell. Although mining operations are ordinarily offlimits to the public, Waihi Gold Mine Tours can take you inside the fence to experience modernday gold mining up close. Youll be fitted out with safety gear as you board our tour van, given a safety briefing then taken inside the security fence to view the mine operations from the best available
The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold. The Miller process is rapid and simple, but it produces gold of only about percent purity. The Wohlwill process increases purity to about percent by electrolysis.
A slurry of ground ore, water and a weak cyanide solution is fed into large steel leach tanks where the gold and silver are dissolved. Following this leaching process the slurry passes through six adsorption tanks containing carbon granules which adsorb the gold and silver. This process removes 93% of the gold

Waihis scoping study indicates an initial of contained gold over 15 years, investment in New Zealand of around, and the potential for 300 jobs to be created. The status of Wharekirauponga as a conservation area means the resource contained underneath cannot be mined from the top down.
The first part of the mining process involves finding the minerals. Exploration for gold and silver for modern mining in Waihi began in the 1970s and prospecting continued into the 1980s. Diamond drills bored into the ground at an angle of 45#176; and collected core samples from various depths. Approximately 13,000 metres of drilling was completed.
The Martha project was the first major hard rock mining operation to be commissioned following the resurgence of the gold mining industry in New Zealand in the late 1970s. The Martha Mine is situated in the Waihi township, and the processing plant, waste rock embankments, water treatment plant and Favona Mine
Waihi Gold operates both the Martha Mine open pit and the Correnso underground mines in Waihi. Mining at Correnso completed in Q1/20; narrow vein mining to continue throughout the year. Process plant shutdown for Q2/Q3 2020 and then restarted in Q4 2020 for batch processing of narrow vein ore; then shutdown until Q2 2021.
Ore processing consists of the following stages: crushing and grinding of the ore. addition of process water (generally decanted from the tailings pond) to form a slurry. addition of lime to the ore, and

From 1882 to 1954 the Waihi area produced a total of #163;31,403,981 worth of gold. At the Martha Mine, 11,932,000 tonnes of ore was mined, yielding 174 tonnes of gold and 1,193 tonnes of silver.
