IEM Shout Out – Technical Visit To Selinsing Gold Mine Manager Sdn Bhd

June 15, 2013

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be visiting Selinsing Gold Mines Manager Sdn Bhd, 157 Jalan Bukit Bius, 27200 Kuala Lipis, Pahang on Saturday 22nd June, 2013.

The Selinsing Gold Mine project is located at Bukit Selinsing near Sungai Koyan, approximately 65km north of Raub and 30km west of Kuala Lipis. A trip to Selinsing from Kuala Lumpur may take between 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic and weather condition.

Selinsing has a long mining history. Mining commenced prior to 1888 and has operated intermittently through to 1966. Underground and open cut mining, together with tailings treatment has produced an estimated 85,000 ounces of gold during this period. Fast forward to present day between 2003 and 2005, treatment of the tailings using heap leach extraction produced 6,624 ounces. In October 2008, a new gold treatment plant was built resulting in the first gold poured from the gravity circuit 12 months later. July 2009 saw open pit mining started at the location and began hauling ore material to the ROM pad for production and by February 2010 the projects’ own carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit commenced commissioning.

The Selinsing deposit occurs along the north striking Raub, Bentong Suture, and a major tectonic feature that runs through peninsular Malaysia. The deposit is hosted by a series of auriferous quartz veins and stockworks of quartz veinlets in a package of sheared calcareous epiclastic sediments. Gold mineralization at Selinsing is associated with high grade quartz veining and associated sericitization and silification within a major shear zone.

The Selinsing gold mine project contains a resource comprised of an indicated mineral resource of 4.82 million tonnes at 1.49 gpt Au, using a cut-off of 0.59 gpt Au for contained ounces of 231,000 ounces of gold, and an inferred mineral resource of 10.32 million tonnes at a grade of 1.17 gpt Au for contained ounces of 388,000 ounces f gold at similar cut-off grade. The resource is a near surface, open pitable deposit containing gold bearing material amenable to CIL treatment, with comprehensive metallurgical test work showing 92% to 95% recovery by CIL.

IEM Shout Out (OGMTD) – Talk on Controlled Blasting at Construction Sites

June 4, 2013

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a talk on 8th June 2013. It’ll be at 9:00 am (makan-makan at 8:30) at Wisma IEM. We do have a lift, so no excuse. I have bad knees, and still manage to crawl up 2 flights.

With rapid development in Selangor/Wilayah Persekutuan there is now a need to build houses, factories and other structures in areas where it was not a choice before such as hilly areas, areas where there are outcrops, uneven and shallow bedrocks where there are needs for use of explosives. Explosives are used to level the foundations, to blast and excavate rock below ground for parking lots and stable foundation for high-rise building. However, the use of explosives without proper techniques may cause serious problems of fly rock, high ground vibration and air blast, which can be damaging. The talk will cover the legal and administrative requirements, technical requirement and blasting techniques as practiced in Selangor / Wilayah Persekutuan. Should be useful to engineers who are involved or likely to get involved as project managers/supervisors where blasting works is involved.

The above will be presented by Ir. Tony Chew. He  is now Deputy Director of Minerals and Geosciences Department of Malaysia (Mines and Quarry) Selangor / Wilayah Persekutuan. He graduated in 1999 from USM with a degree in Mineral Resources Engineering and MBA from University Malaysia Sabah in 2005. He served in Sabah from 2000-2010 and now in Selangor in the same section where he oversees mining and quarry operation including blasting work. He is also involved in overseeing blasting activities at construction site to ensure the blasting work is carried out according to the safety and environmental requirements.
