Underground intelligence for unmatched operations
Digital control room
End-to-end monitoring and controlling of operations.
Real-time seismic monitoring
Detects tremors, enables proactive safety response.
Automated pump system
Boosts dewatering speed and system uptime.
Anti-collision systems
Proximity warnings prevent man-machine accidents.
Winder VR simulator
Prepares crews for critical operations safely.
The making of every metric tonne
Long-hole open stoping
Ore is extracted through precise drilling and blasting, enabling deeper access, controlled breakage, and safer operations.
Cemented paste fill
Mined-out voids are filled with paste tailings to maintain structural integrity and enable safe, continuous extraction sequences.
Underground ore handling
Ore is crushed below ground and conveyed efficiently, reducing surface load and improving material flow for hoisting.
Vertical ore transport
Crushed ore is lifted to the surface via high-capacity shaft systems, ensuring fast transfer with reduced energy loss.
Milling and flotation
Surface plants process ore through grinding and flotation, yielding high-purity zinc and lead concentrate for further refining.
Ventilation, dewatering, automation
Advanced support systems enhance safety, water reuse, and process control, enabling round-the-clock, optimised operations.
