Impact
Deliver improved feed grade to plants
through early rejection of waste,
improving energy efficiencies
Innovative flotation process allows
material to be crushed to a larger particle
size, rejecting coarse gangue and
allowing water to release from coarser
ore particles, improving energy
efficiencies and water savings
Developing the world's first hydrogen
powered mining truck to decarbonise high
power transport, using renewable energy
Engineering of geotechnically stable
tailings facilities that dry out in weeks,
facilitating up to 85% water recovery
Progress
Full scale testing underway at El Soldado (Copper)
Testing complete at Mogalakwena (PGMs). Commissioning of full
scale North Concentrator unit in Q1 2021 (~70% of feed)
Testing complete at Barro Alto (Nickel). $40m capex to scale up to
100% throughput through 2021-22
Initial installation & testing at Los Bronces (Copper) during 2021.
$10m capex for initial deployment (up to -60% of throughput).
Phase 2 study work under way

Full scale demo plant installed at El Soldado (Copper) with ramp
up to full capacity expected by mid 2021
Full scale system under construction at Mogalakwena North
concentrator (PGMS). Commissioning expected Q4 2021
CPR approved at Quellaveco (Copper) to re-treat coarse particles
from flotation tailings, improving recoveries by ~3% over the life of
mine. Commissioning expected in 2022
Feasibility work continues at Los Bronces (Copper) & Minas-Rio
(Iron Ore)
Engineering under way with first motion at Mogalakwena (PGMs)
in 2021, with 40 truck roll-out starting 2024, powered by a 75Mw
solar plant on site. Targeting roll-out at 7 sites by 2030
El Soldado (Copper) unit under construction, due to complete in Q3
2021
Sequencing and application of future roll-outs to be determined
