CURRENT SITUATION
The Mill requirement for lime is about 600 gallon per minute, running 8-12 hrs daily. Currently, Mahaka lime
line#1 is the only line which can be utilized to support Mill operations, since lime line#2 is was impacted
during the UG GBC development of GVD#7. Lime line#1 availability will be at risk starting after September
2012 since GBC will begin developing GVD#8 which will pass by approximately 5 meters away from
remaining lime line borehole#1. Although UG GBC team already is aware of maintaining their activity to
preserve Lime line Borehole no#1, the opportunity of having as same problem as lime line borehole#2 on
lime line borehole#1 is high. The borehole is un-cased and will likely be affected by blasting activities at the
close proximity of the line. Given the uncertainty of the lime borehole location, it is possible that the drift may
actually intersect the line #1 similar to what happened on line#2.
PROPOSED ACTION
This AFE is proposed to replace and improve current lime slurry transporting capability so its availability can
still be reliable during PTFI Production development sequences. The New Lime slurry transfer system needs
to at minimum have same capacity as the current line setup, so it can provide Mill site requirements.
Additionally, the line is sized to accommodate the higher lime delivery requirements which will be incurred
during GBC ore processing.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
There are several alternatives being studied to maintain the reliability of lime slurry line from Mahaka to Mill,
They are:
1. Do Nothing
Doing nothing and rely on the existing lime line 1 to provide the mill requirement. This is not
recommended, as GVD 8 development will soon become pass closely by our existing lime line no1,
with a high risk of borehole collapse during blasting activities. The Mill supply of lime would be
disrupted by a borehole collapse, leading to a rapid 100% mill shutdown until lime supply is restored.
2. New borehole for replacement.
This action would be conducted by drilling and casing another borehole to replace the #2 borehole,
and re-connect the new borehole outlet to the existing lime line pipe which goes to Mill area. This
was estimated to cost about USD$ 602,947.2 and involve specialty directional drill equipment. A
detailed cost estimate can be found at Appendix 1 following this package. This action will have as
same failure risk as the previous action of rehabilitating lime line 2 as mention before. Additionally,
the directional drill collar also cannot be fixed at the required angle- which has a high risk of not
hitting the target area of drift in GRS70. Drilling another borehole to replace the existing also has
high risk of having another same intersect problem since PTFI UG group is still on the development
sequence. In discussing this option, it must be noted that there is no guarantee that the borehole
would hit the drift and if that were to happen, we would be forced to re-drill yet again. This option
also does not account for the risk attached to Lime Line #1 by GVD8 development. If GVD8 work
impacts the Lime Line #1, then yet another borehole would be required.
3. Install pipes for borehole replacement.
This action would be conducted by installing pipelines to accommodate lime slurry transport to the
mill area. There are planned to be 2 ea. lines connecting Mahaka and the Mill through the Oreflow
Conveyors and Inspection raise. The approximate pipe length required is 4,600 meters (2,300
meters for each pipeline). These lines will need to be schedule 80, 6 diameter black iron, complete
with flushing ports and pressure gauges. The new lime lines will be routed from the Mahaka plant
site to the Mill area via: Conveyor 463, Conveyor 463A, Conveyor 464, Conveyor 465, inspection
raise #2 near the ore passes, out the bottom of the inspection raise, along Conveyor 467 and
reconnect to exiting lime line at Conveyor 70 at X-cut #5.
This action is estimated to cost about USD $2.72M with minimum installation failure and
maintenance risk, since all the lines from Mahaka to the Mill will not intersect with other PTFI U/G
Development activities. A detailed cost estimate can be found in Appendix 2, while the overview
design can be found at Appendix 3 following this package.
Considering future impact on the current lime line and to support production activity involving all PTFI
Department needs, applying this action is suitable and achievable.
This is the recommended action
INVENTORY REQUIREMENTS
No additional stock levels will be required to implement the project or support the system going forward. This
project only will affect capital spares of piping. Although priced at standard concentrate pipeline costs
(coated green 6 pipe), there is opportunity to utilize pipe from warehouse stocks which does not meet
concentrate pipeline specifications, but does meet the lime pipeline requirements. This may assist in utilizing
the warehouse stocks of pipe which may otherwise not be used.
ECONOMIC RETURN
There is no quantifiable economic return to this project. This project is classified as a Stay in Business
project, as lime slurry line must operate without interruption.
