THE CONCENTRATED MINEPrecisely targeting the metal and mineral with less waste
Moving and
processing only
the mineral / metal
VISION
CHALLENGE
Precision mining with minimal
energy, water and capital
intensity
APPROACH
Concentrate the mine™ concept:
• Improved mine fragmentation
• Rejecting the worthless rock
(gangue) earlier
• Coarse particle recovery
Fine particle recovery
8
THE WATERLESS MINEWaterless processing
Dry processing
without the need
for tailings dams
VISION
CHALLENGE
Around 75% of our current
portfolio is located in high-
water-risk regions
APPROACH
• Closed Loop water recycling
• Evaporation control
• Dry tailings disposal
9
MODERN MINETransforming hard rock mining
CHALLENGE
Precise, continuous mining at
depth
APPROACH
• Adapt disruptive technologies
• Mechanise existing methods
• Continuous hard rock cutting and
materials movement
A safer, more
economic mine
VISION
10
THE INTELLIGENT MINEA smart, connected, learning mine
APPROACH
• Predictive exploration and
processing analytics
• Predictive condition-based
monitoring and maintenance
CHALLENGE
To measure what matters – at
all levels
Predictive
intelligence (from
sensor to
boardroom)
