Much of the work to reopen the mine has been completed:
- The mine operates off the power grid and will continue to do so by installing a complete solar PV system whilst retaining the existing diesel generators as emergency backup.
- The mine has an approved water use license (WUL) sufficient to meet the projects entire water requirement.
- Three boreholes have been drilled and equipped with pumps and pipes to supply water to the mine.
- Reverse osmosis and desalination plants have been installed for the purification of the water.
- The decline shaft has been partly refurbished, head-gear erected and a winder house built.
- There is great potential to further increase the mineral resource beyond the current area.
- The mine has installed air-conditioned mobile offices, internet access, internal communication systems and security.
- A weighbridge and vehicle washbay are available onsite.
- Surrounding roads have been improved and fencing installed.
