    PROJECT - FLOWSHEET The flow sheet selected in the Elikhulu plant design is as follows: 11

  12. Slide 12: Hydraulic Mining

    HYDRAULIC MINING • Same mining method as the existing ETRP operations • Combined hydraulic mining will produce 1.16 Mtpm (0.2 Mtpm to ETRP and 0.96 Mtpm to Elikhulu together with the 0.04 Mtpm of RoM tailings, Elikhulu total throughput is 1 Mtpm) 12

  13. Slide 13: Processing - Design Criteria

    PROCESSING - DESIGN CRITERIA • Hydraulically mined material will be screened at 4mm • Trash removal screen ahead of the CIL circuit • No milling required • No pre-leach thickener required, densities will be controlled at hydraulic mining site • CIL circuit: › 1 pre-oxidation stage › 7 leach tanks 13

  14. Slide 14: Processing - Test Work

    PROCESSING - TEST WORK • The Elikhulu resource has a long history of metallurgical test work • Test work conducted by SGS was used as the design basis (15 samples from Kinross, 21 samples from Bracken/Leslie and 16 samples from Winkelhaak) • The ETRP operation is achieving planned recoveries as pred

  16. Slide 16: TSF - Design

    TSF - DESIGN TSF design was done to maximize tailings deposition on selected site. Highlights of this design are as follows: • Cyclone deposition has been selected • Typical industry rates of rise of 4 – 5 m/yr • Design rate of rise is 4.5 m/yr • Initial deposition rate of 1.0 Mt/mth • ETRP tailings
