The Curraghinalt mine will be the first underground mine permitted in many years in Northern Ireland. The proposed mine will produce gold, silver and copper. It is expected to have a mine life of at least 20 years. SRK have worked on the project for over 8 years, initially on the provision of studies for baseline and scoping work and susequently on the mineral resource estimation, dewatering assessment and waste management. SRK have also managed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and authored the Environmental Statement, involving collaboration with the engineering team, the planning advisors and legal review teams.
