"Ewigleben notes that Livengood has much in common with the Fort Knox mine owned by Kinross Gold (TSE:K), located 26 miles northeast of Fairbanks, and which has produced over 5 million ounces of gold.

“We are close in proximity, but it’s far more than that,” Ewigleben says of the similarities between Livengood and Fort Knox."

"In addition ITH’s manager of engineering, Al Thabit, was in charge of commissioning the Fort Knox mill.

While using its own internal knowledge of Livengood, the CEO stresses that ITH continues to have dialogue with the management team working at Fort Knox. This has afforded the company the opportunity to learn from the Fort Knox operation."



Just one I found today. The Ft Knox mention makes me suspect an similar operation will happen too, wheres its an "open" type mine and may be using ball mills to grind down ore as a guess.
