About Us
The Sugar Zone Project, owned by Vault Minerals, is located in Ontario, Canada, approximately 35 km north of White River, between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste Marie, and represents the company’s only asset outside Australia. It is an underground gold mining operation that utilises longhole open stoping, a method well suited to narrow, high-grade vein-style deposits. The operation is supported by an on-site processing plant with a flowsheet that includes crushing and ball milling, followed by gravity gold recovery and sulphide flotation to produce a gold concentrate. The plant has an installed processing capacity of approximately 0.32 million tonnes per annum, equivalent to around 900 tonnes per day.
