Project Milestones
Mobilization and Initial Operations
Robex has successfully mobilized its mining contractor fleet, marking a crucial step in the project’s development. The first ore has already been delivered to the Run-of-Mine (ROM) pad, setting the stage for subsequent processing. This initial delivery is a testament to the efficient planning and execution by the Robex team, which is committed to maintaining a safe and methodical approach throughout the project.
Grade Control and Infrastructure Development
The completion of grade control drilling over the Sabali pit is another significant achievement. This drilling is essential for ensuring that the ore extracted meets the expected quality standards, which is critical for the efficiency of the processing plant.
In addition, the tailing storage facility is nearing completion and is expected to be ready for ore commissioning soon. This facility is vital for the safe disposal of waste materials generated during the gold extraction process, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Power and Electrical Systems
