The new entrance to the mine site at Paracatu. The old entrance ran literally through the town of Paracatu and traffic was a mess. Kinross built the new road which gives a rather scenic view of the site. Pictured at the top of the hill---on the left, the large structure is the building which houses the SAG mill and 3, going on 4, ball mills. On the right is a large covered ore stockpile that feeds the SAG mill. Once the 4th ball mill is operational over 150,000 tonnes of ore a day can be processed.
