Kobelco 50 tonne excavator feeds the newly commissioned Terex Finlay Jaw Crusher J-1175 before the CAT 980M Front End Loader transports the feed to ROM1 Stockpile for the Crushing Plant. In October 2023, the main Sandvik Circular Motion Screen was taken offline for reconditioning at the site workshop. During this downtime, a Sandvik Mobile Cone Crusher QH332, along with a Sandvik 696 Mobile Screen, was commissioned to maintain crushing operations, producing feed for the XRT Ore Sorters and the Gravity Plant. After the screen was refurbished, the fixed plant resumed its priority role for crushing, with the mobile equipment used in tandem to increase output and build stockpiles for the XRT Ore Sorters and Gravity Plant. Additionally, the Cone Crusher proved versatile, capable of reducing the high-grade ore from the Ore Sorter Plant from 40mm to 6mm for the Gravity Plant, especially useful during preventative maintenance of the Gravity Plant’s own Cone Crusher. This setup not only boosts overall output but also enhances availability for both plants. In April 2024, a Terex Finlay 893 Scalper was commissioned to provide additional feed for the Crushing Plant, delivering 75mm material from the LGS to the ore sorter plant, while the -6mm fines are fed directly to the Gravity Plant for additional metal recovery.
