    Tiernan Gold TSXV debut: project advancement and design notes for mine engineers

    Tiernan Gold TSXV debut: project advancement and design notes for mine engineers

    First reported on MINING.com

    30 Second Briefing

    Tiernan Gold is set to list on the TSX Venture Exchange, backed by a flagship gold project in Chile and Hochschild Mining as its largest shareholder. The Chilean asset gives Tiernan exposure to a mature Andean gold belt with established infrastructure and permitting regimes, positioning it for drill-focused resource growth rather than greenfield discovery. For mining engineers and project developers, the combination of TSXV access and a strategic shareholder with operating experience in Latin American epithermal systems signals potential for near- to medium-term project advancement.

    Technical Brief

    • Hochschild’s involvement suggests potential access to in-house metallurgical testwork and process design expertise.

    Our Take

    Hochschild’s presence in Tiernan Gold’s story places this listing within the same mid-tier precious metals peer group that features in several of our other Mining pieces, where such companies often use TSX Venture Exchange vehicles to incubate higher-risk exploration assets off their main balance sheets.

    Within the 696 tag-matched ‘Projects’ and ‘Contract Award’ items in our database, TSX Venture Exchange appearances frequently mark the point where private or incubated gold vehicles start competing directly for drilling and study capital against more advanced juniors, which can tighten funding conditions for grassroots explorers without a recognised backer like Hochschild.

    For Hochschild, another TSXV-linked gold vehicle adds optionality at relatively low upfront capital commitment, a pattern seen in other mid-tier miners in our coverage who use listed juniors to secure pipeline exposure while keeping larger project sanction decisions flexible in volatile metal price environments.

    MEGAMINES’ top 10 most capital intensive bulk mines: capex and risk notes for engineers

    MEGAMINES ranks Saudi Arabia’s Wa’ad Al Shamal phosphate complex as the world’s costliest mining project, with total industrial-city investment of $22.7 billion and Ma’aden’s mine-and-refining CAPEX estimated at $15.5 billion, including an $8 billion original plant and a $7.7 billion Phosphate 3 expansion due by 2027. Guinea’s Simandou iron ore development follows with more than $20 billion in shared mine–rail–port spend, a 600 km trans-Guinean railway to a new deepwater port, and targeted output of 120 Mtpa of ~66% Fe ore by 2028. Brazil’s Serra Sul (S11D) at $19.5 billion plus a $2.8 billion brownfield expansion to 120 Mtpa, and Adani’s Carmichael coal project, originally scoped at 60 Mtpa with A$16.5–A$22 billion CAPEX but now operating at 10 Mtpa with a 200 km rail link, illustrate the scale, long timelines and redesign risk inherent in bulk mining megaprojects.

    Trilogy–South32 Arctic copper permit push: design and geotech notes for engineers

    Trilogy Metals and South32’s 50/50 Ambler Metals JV has approved a $35 million 2026 work programme at Alaska’s Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects, targeting mine-permit submissions for the high-grade Arctic copper deposit under federal FAST-41. Drilling will focus on geotechnical and condemnation holes for mine design and infrastructure siting, while the Bornite camp is upgraded for multi-year geotechnical and exploration campaigns and an independent UKMP management team is re-established. Arctic’s 2023 feasibility study outlines a 13-year operation producing 149 Mlb/y copper plus zinc, lead, gold and silver, with an after-tax NPV8 of $1.1 billion and 22.8% IRR.

    Almonty’s Sangdong tungsten mine: commercial start and stoping plan notes for engineers

    Almonty Industries has begun commercial mining at the Sangdong tungsten mine in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, with the first truckload of ore delivered to the run-of-mine (ROM) pad, signalling the shift from development to active extraction. The project is centred on redeveloping one of the world’s historically significant tungsten deposits, aiming to supply high-grade ore into Asian and global hardmetal and alloy markets. For mine planners and geotechnical teams, the move commits the site to full-scale stoping, ground support, and backfill sequencing rather than purely development headings.
