Minto Mine

JDS provided feasibility study support and full EPCM services for Capstone's Minto Mine, delivering a 1,400 tpd copper-gold process plant from acquisition (mid-2005) to commercial production (June 2007). The $100M project included mine development, dry stack tailings facility, custom Yukon River barge, airstrip, 3MW power plant, 130-person camp, and supporting infrastructure. JDS managed detailed engineering through Hatch and EBA, procurement, construction via Clark Builders and Pelly Construction, and commissioning—all on schedule and on budget.

JDS subsequently completed EPCM for two expansions: first to 2,600 tpd with water filtration for environmental discharge, then to 3,500 tpd. Both expansions were delivered on schedule and on budget.
