Efficiencies through technology

Mining

• Mechanisation.

• Dilution control.

• Sorting.

• Automation.

Page 13: ARM Mining Indaba Presentation Mike Schmidt - · PDF fileARM Mining Indaba Presentation ... the reprocessing of lower grade dumps. ARM Coal ... Project with Transnet’s expansion

13

Efficiencies through technology

Logistics

• Trucking to conveyor belts.

• Equipment size optimisation.

• Optimising the availability and utilisation of all mining

equipment.

• Use of train rapid load-out system which has reduced loading

times as follows:

– Iron ore from 24 hours to 6 hours per train.

– Manganese ore from 24 hours to less than 6 hours

per train.

– Coal from 10 hours to 4 hours per train.

Efficiencies through technology

Beneficiation

ARM Platinum

• Plant upgrades at Nkomati Mine - recoveries improved from 60% to 76% in 3 years.

• Plant upgrades at Two Rivers Mine - recoveries improved from 72% to 85% in 5 years.

• Chrome recovery plant and tertiary milling circuit installed at Two Rivers Mine.

• Mainstream Inert Grinding (MIG) plant installed at Modikwa Mine –2% improvement in recoveries is expected.

Efficiencies through technology

Beneficiation

ARM Ferrous• Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS) plant installed

at Khumani Mine – 2% improvement in yield.

• Improved smelter technology at the Sakura Ferroalloys Project.

• Optical sorting being implemented at Black Rock Mine - allows the reprocessing of lower grade dumps.

ARM Coal• Replacement of three smaller and old Coal Handling Processing

Plants (CHPP) with one larger and more efficient CHPP at Tweefontein.
