Impact
Deliver improved feed grade to plants
through early rejection of waste, resulting in
energy, water and cost savings
Innovative flotation process allows material
to be ground to a larger particle size,
rejecting coarse gangue and allowing water
to release from coarser ore particles,
improving energy efficiencies and water
savings
Engineering of geotechnically stable tailings
facilities that dry out in weeks, facilitating up
to 85% water recovery
Developing the world's largest hydrogen
powered mining truck to decarbonise high
power transport, using renewable energy

Progress
Testing complete at Barro Alto (Nickel) August 2020. ~$35 million capex
for 100% throughput with phased upgrade through 2022-23
Testing complete at Mogalakwena (PGMs) November 2020. Full scale
North Concentrator unit operational, integration to business as usual is
underway (~70% of complex feed)
Demo plant construction and commissioning completed in 2021 at El
Soldado (Copper) with further testing in progress
Constructing full scale system at Mogalakwena North concentrator
(PGMs) with start-up anticipated Q3 2022
CPR approved at Quellaveco (Copper) to treat flotation tails, improving
recoveries by ~3% over the LOM. Commissioning expected in late 2023
Feasibility work continues at Los Bronces (Copper) & Minas-Rio (Iron
Ore) with options being investigated at Collahuasi
El Soldado (Copper) demonstration anticipated commissioning in Q1
2022
Assessing application to tailings expansion at Mogalakwena (PGMs) with
benefits from water quality and quantity improvements
Together with CPR, potential for 20-30% additional production within
existing water licences at Quellaveco and Collahuasi (Copper)
Proof of concept delivered at Mogalakwena in Q4 2021 and
commissioning anticipated Q1 2022. 40 truck roll-out planned to start in
2024, powered by a local solar plant
Assessing rollouts at Copper, Diamonds and Iron Ore operations
