Wednesday, March 27, 2024

Water supply is a core input to the study; a key driver to maximise processing throughput for the project.

Key Points: 
  • Water supply is a core input to the study; a key driver to maximise processing throughput for the project.
  • We are confident in this field program and aim to demonstrate that, to a PFS standard, there is an adequate supply of water for Kharmagtai, to ensure its successful delivery as Mongolia’s next major copper-gold mine in the south Gobi region of Mongolia.”
    The hydrological program has six key objectives to provide water supply for Kharmagtai operations.
  • The Kharmagtai PFS seeks to maximise water recycling through the use of industry best practices including efficient process design, modern tailings dam design and thickened tailings to reduce water loss.
  • The order of monitoring bore drilling will change as the field program progresses, including progress of production bore drilling.
