This material was pumped to the plant as supplementary feed. CHALLENGES FACED: The single biggest challenge was the lack of make up water, this meant...

SCOPE OF WORK: Mobilise one of specially designed suction dredges, the Anglo, along with associated pipeline. The project involved laying dredge discharge line across access roads  and tying it into the top of tailings thickener 12m high. The HDPE lined dam is 80 x 80 and was about 65% full of silts from the process. We...

Removal of the fines was to provide additional water storage capacity in the dam. Challenges: From the beginning we were aware there was a site data communications cable located in the...

Scope: Provide volumetric differences of the Process Water and Tailings solids in the Tailings Storage Facility. Raw Data and Graphical Formats are provided on a regular basis. Storage confirmation of onsite mine-affected and clear water holding facilities. Challenges: Pit is 1200m long with access from one end only. Survey must be carried out whilst...
