The Madsen Gold Project is located in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, approximately ten kilometres southwest of the town of Red Lake. Access to the property is via Ontario Highway 618 to a number of both paved and gravel roads. An all-weather road from Highway 618 leads directly to the headframe of the Madsen Mine.
Madsen mining infrastructure consists of the following:
- 500 ton per day mill
- 5 compartment 4,125 foot deep shaft
- Permitted taillings management facility
The mill consists of a single stage crushing circuit and a two stage grinding circuit, which is then followed by cyanide leaching. The leached gold is collected in a carbon-in-pulp circuit which is subsequently stripped using mild caustic and collected on stainless steel mesh cathodes by electrowinning. The product from electrowinning is refined into dore bars in an induction furnace. Ontario Hydro supplies power via overhead lines at 44KV to a step-down transformer on the Madsen property.
