Designing, Delivering, and Testing a New Minerals Processing Plant for Western Australian Gold Mine

Background

The Western Australian Gold Mine, a leading mining pit, was expanding operations and required a state-of-the-art minerals processing plant. The new facility had to be highly efficient, environmentally sustainable, and complete in regulatory compliance. The Mine trusted Industria Engineering with this complex and critical project due to its previous track record.

Challenges

  • Developing a plant design tailored to the specific ore composition of the new mine.
  • Ensuring robust environmental sustainability and adherence to all regulatory standards.
  • Seamlessly integrating advanced technology with existing mining operations.
  • Effective project management to stay within budget and timeline constraints.

Solution

Industria Engineering performed an extensive feasibility study, including site analysis, mineralogical examination, and a thorough review of regulatory requirements. This guided the development of a project plan customized to the mine's unique needs.

Drawing on cutting-edge technology and industry expertise, Industria Engineering's team created a processing plant design focused on gold extraction efficiency, environmental stewardship, and scalability. The plan included innovative flotation, gravity separation, and leaching processes.

Sustainability was central to the project. The design featured water recycling, energy-efficient machinery, and waste management strategies to minimize environmental impact.

Industria Engineering managed the construction phase, coordinating contractors, suppliers, and on-site engineers. Rigorous quality control and timely coordination ensured the project remained on schedule and within budget.

Comprehensive system testing was carried out to validate all components. Industria Engineering collaborated closely with the Gold Mine's team to ensure a smooth commissioning process and documented safe hands-on training for ongoing operations.

Industria Engineering continued to monitor plant performance after commissioning, providing support and optimization solutions as needed. This ongoing partnership ensured that the facility maintained peak efficiency and compliance with evolving regulations.

Results

  • Successful design and construction of a state-of-the-art minerals processing plant.
  • Zero Lost Time Injuries throughout the course of the project
  • A 4.4% increase in gold recovery rates, exceeding industry standards.
  • Full adherence to environmental regulations.
  • On-time and on-budget delivery, resulting in a substantial return on investment for the mine.

Conclusion

Industria Engineering's work with this Mine in Western Australia showcases a holistic, innovative approach to modern mining challenges. By focusing on innovation, sustainability, and tailor-made solutions, Industria Engineering helped the mine pioneer new standards in gold processing.
