Round Mountain mines is the mining operations of Kinross and located in Nye County, Nevada, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Round Mountain uses conventional open-pit mining methods and processes ore by mill and heap leach.
In January 2016, Kinross acquired the 50% of Round Mountain it did not already own from Barrick Gold, consolidating ownership of one of Kinross’ best run and established mines. The Company continues to advance promising initiatives to optimize the operation and potentially extend estimated mine life.
The operation is beginning to realize the benefits of an ongoing long-term continuous improvement project focused on enhancing heap leach performance and improvements to recovery.
The incumbent is capable of running a field project independent of the Chief Mine Surveyor. This person is capable of filling in for the Chief Mine Surveyor for short periods while continuously aligning daily functions to reflect Kinross’ values.
