Mine developer hunts for Timmins processor to pull the treasure from old tailings

STLLR Gold announced last February that it had pocketed the province’s first mineral recovery permit to go digging for gold through the waste pile of the former Hollinger mine in Timmins.

This week, STLLR re-announced that milestone feat and this time put a number on the size of the sample it plans to extract at 225,000 tonnes.

No date was provided on when that work will begin. The company said it still needs to secure a processing partner in the Timmins area and is looking for a hauler to truck it to a mill.

The historic underground mine, founded by legacy prospector Benny Hollinger, initially ran for 58 years, up to 1968, adjacent to the city’s downtown core. Newmont reactivated it as an open-pit operation in 2016.

STLLR took control of the nearby tailings site in early 2024 with plans to re-mine it. The company estimates there’s 43.9 million tonnes of mineralized material there.
