PORPHYRY (COPPER-GOLD, COPPER-MOLYBDENUM,
MOLYBDENUM) PROJECTS
Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. completed the first
year of operations at the Mt. Milligan mine, with ramp-up
activities continuing throughout the year. Milling operations
are expected to be near 80 per cent of design capacity by the
end of 2014. Ongoing construction included a permanent oper-
ations residence. A ground induced-polarization survey was
completed on a claim block northeast of the mine. Mining of
stockpiled and fresh ore continued at Endako, and a ramp was
constructed from the causeway area between the Endako and
Denak East pits to the in-pit crusher.
AuRico Gold Inc. began an environmental assessment of
the proposed Kemess Underground (
KUG) block cave oper-
ation. Drilling resumed east of existing reserves at Kemess
East, targeting a zone similar in style and size to
KUG.
Grassroots to early-stage exploration was conducted at
Rottaker and
UDS (Serengeti Resources Inc.), Redton (Kiska
Metals Corporation), Col-Later (Pacific Empire Minerals
Corp.), Chuchi (Chlormet Technologies Inc.), Takla-
Rainbow (Manado Gold Corp.), Cat Mountain (Rift Valley
Resources Corp.) and Thor (Copper North Mining Corp.).
POLYMETALLIC BASE AND PRECIOUS METALS
Teck Resources Limited resumed exploration at Cirque with
