TERRAVEIN METALS

05 — Development & production

From mine development to metal production

Infrastructure, equipment, process and throughput, joined in one execution plan.

Roadmap

Four stages

  1. STAGE 01Now

    Business foundation

    Incorporation, operating rights, technology scope

  2. STAGE 02

    Sample & process verification

    Independent ore assays, recovery tests per metal

  3. STAGE 03

    Design, permits & funding

    Site and process design, mining plan application, funding plan

  4. STAGE 04

    Trial production & commercialisation

    Trial run for quality and cost, then commercial production

Mining plan approval has not yet been obtained; mining and production follow once approvals are in place.

Mine infrastructure

Four foundations for the site

From the access road to power and water, the groundwork for mining and processing is designed together.

01

Access road

Road width and grade for equipment and haul traffic

02

Portal & tunnels

Portal works; tunnel profile and support sized to equipment

03

Worksite

Ore stockpile, processing plant, workshop and stores, site office

04

Utilities

Power supply, process water, ventilation and drainage, comms

Equipment plan

Three working areas, three Sandvik sets

One drilling, loading and haulage set per working area. Models are finalised after tunnel surveys and quotes.

  • AreaA1 set
  • AreaB1 set
  • AreaC1 set
Illustration of a Drilling equipment type
Illustrative example · not actual equipment

Drilling

Sandvik DD210

Single-boom development drill rig

Drills the face to advance tunnels and start mining.

Manufacturer spec · 24 m² coverage · 43–64 mm holes

Illustration of a Loading equipment type
Illustrative example · not actual equipment

Loading

Sandvik Toro LH202

Narrow-vein underground loader (LHD)

Loads broken ore and moves it to the ore pass or truck.

Manufacturer spec · 3 t payload · 1.3–1.5 m³ bucket

Illustration of a Haulage equipment type
Illustrative example · not actual equipment

Haulage

Sandvik TH315

15-tonne underground haul truck

Hauls ore and waste rock to the surface stockpile.

Manufacturer spec · 15 t payload · 7.5 m³ box

Models under review — not purchased or contracted. Images are illustrations of each equipment type.

Process flow

Mining → Beneficiation → Recovery → Refining

  1. 01

    Mining

    Drilling & blasting · loading · haulage

  2. 02

    Crushing & beneficiation

    Crushing · grinding · gravity · flotation

  3. 03

    Metal recovery

    Metal-specific recovery · concentrate handling

  4. 04

    Refining

    Refining & melting · quality assay · dispatch

Throughput planning

Throughput scenarios by phase

Planning scenarios that set the basis for plant design and ore supply.

Initial plan

Planning scenario

45t/day

Beneficiation
16 h/day
Hourly basis
≈ 2.8 t/h

Reference throughput for trial and early operation.

Expansion review

Planning scenario

180t/day

Beneficiation
16 h/day
Hourly basis
≈ 11.3 t/h

Four times the initial plan, reviewed against ore supply and operating results.

Design planning values — not installed capacity or production records.

Responsible development

Safety and environment from the first drawing

Mine safety

Ground control, ventilation, haul routes, emergency response

Water

Process water recycling, effluent treatment, water-quality monitoring

Tailings & rehabilitation

Tailings dewatering and storage, staged site rehabilitation

Community

Haul hours, noise and dust control, open channel for residents
