Slide 6: Project Description
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Five key components: • Mine Open Pit and Run of Mine (ROM) Pad; • Process Plant facility consisting of conventional crushing, grinding, flotation, along with BIOX® and gravity recovery; • Tailings Storage Facility (TSF): to ensure materials are properly managed and to reclaim wat
Slide 7: Mine Pit
MINE PIT • Open pit area - 600m x 1,500m • 1.75 1 75 Mtpa ore - transported by conveyor to the Process Plant. Plant • 9.1 Mtpa overburden - used for the construction of the Tailings Storage Facility and in-pit backfill. • During D i g the th first fi t three th years, waste t material t i l will ill

Slide 10: Tailings Storage Facility
TAILINGS STORAGE FACILITY Tailing Storage Facility (TSF) • Storage of treated tailings in valley adjacent to the Process Plant. • 2 year starter embankment established using pit i pre-strip. i • Dam lifted to final height during initial 3 years of production. • Designed to national and international
Slide 11: Water Supply
WATER SUPPLY • Water usage will be effectively managed to minimise the amount of water drawn from local rivers and to maximise the water returned from the TSF. • Potable water will be sourced from the Lintungan River and this will be supplied to the Runruno Village and Process Plant. • Process water
Slide 12: Off-Site Infrastructure
OFF-SITE OFF SITE INFRASTRUCTURE Access Road • Improvement of the Quezon to Runruno Access Road. Power Supply • Estimated average power usage of 13MW. • Access to the power national grid and hydroelectric power stations. • Switch yard located at Bayombong. Bayombong • 36 km dedicated 69 kV Powerline
