Welcome to EL MOUNA SARL
EL MOUNA SARL is a company specialised in the exploration, research, development and mining of mineral resources.
Our ambition is to contribute to the sustainable development of mineral wealth by implementing technical solutions suited to the demands of the mining sector.
We operate across every stage of project development, from identifying resources to their extraction and processing.
Site tour
An integrated site
Six areas to discover, from our camp to exploration: all our activities brought together on a single site.
Stage 01 / 06
Camp & equipment
Our own resources, on site.
Excavators, loaders and dump trucks carry out the work on site. A camp houses our teams close to operations.
Stage 02 / 06
Laboratory
Every stage checked by analysis.
Our on-site laboratory handles sample preparation and analysis, tracking grades from exploration through to production.
Stage 03 / 06
Leaching
Extracting and recovering the gold.
The ground ore is treated in lined leaching vats. Dissolved gold is captured by activated carbon columns, recovered by electrolysis and then smelted. Residues are contained in a dedicated geomembrane-lined pond.
Stage 04 / 06
Crushing & grinding
Reducing the ore to release the gold.
Mined ore is stockpiled, then processed by our crushers and ball mills, which reduce it to the particle size required for processing.
Stage 05 / 06
Energy
A site powered by the sun.
A solar plant powers our facilities, backed up by generators that keep operations running without interruption.
Stage 06 / 06
Exploration
Finding and characterising deposits.
Our teams carry out drilling campaigns (including RC drilling) and sampling. The study of the rocks — quartz veins, felsic dykes, pyrite-bearing granodiorites — guides the development of the project.
