pealekandmine

Pelekandmine is a polymetallic mining operation located in the Pelek Region of Veridia. The mine concentrates on extracting minerals from the Pelekand deposit and is owned and operated by Pelekand Mining Corporation under a long-term exploitation license.

Geology and resources: The Pelekand deposit is described as a porphyry-style body with disseminated sulfide minerals. The ore body contains copper minerals as the principal commodity, with nickel and minor precious metals. Ore grade and reserves are reported by the operator in periodic disclosures.

Operations: The mine uses open-pit extraction with truck-and-shovel fleets. Ore is milled at a processing plant comprising crushing, grinding, and flotation circuits to produce copper-rich concentrate. Tailings are stored in a facility with a water-management system. Concentrates are transported by rail to a nearby smelter facility.

Economy and community: The Pelekandmine is a major regional employer and contributor to local infrastructure through royalties and tax payments. The operator maintains community programs and training opportunities for residents and provides apprenticeship and local hiring initiatives.

Environmental and safety: The operation adheres to national mining regulations with programs for water management, dust control, reclamation, and wildlife protection. Safety is overseen by a dedicated health and safety department, and the site publishes annual safety performance and improvement plans.

History and development: The mine was developed in stages beginning in the early 2000s, with capacity expansions and modernization occurring through the 2010s and into the present to adapt to market conditions and regulatory requirements.
