2. To split the whole project into workable
phases
To identify the practical needs of the project
To identify the skeleton labor required to
kick start the project
To identify a partner ( Eng. Contractor)
competent enough to assist
To come out with the direct costs of the
project
3. At the end of the exercise, we must be able to
identify the different phases of the
resuscitation programme
to name a partner
quantify the physical requirements of the
project
to value the requirements ( specific costs)
to verify the labor we require
to kick-start the reconstruction of the plant
4. The sands retreatment plant refurbishment and
eventual operation is the first part of a holistic
‘C’ Mine Revival Plan.
We intend to revive the whole plant, effecting
repairs to machinery, replacing broken piping,
fitting new pumps and motors
We also intend to repair and replace all electrical
wiring and switch gear
Effect repairs to the lifting equipment
Re-line the Ball Mill
Repair and replace Hydrocyclones and desanding
cones
construction of the feed hopper
5. Effect repairs and services to the knelson
concentrator
effect repairs to the amalgam barrels and
copper plates
Replace the pinion gear
fabricate motor-gearbox coupling
Recondition mill white metal bearings
Repairing of all mill sumps
6. Cleaning out of all containers, i.e. ,
thickener, leach tanks and the carbon tanks
Removal of all junk metal from the tanks
Repairs of the overflow line to the thickener
Repairs to the thickener drive mechanisms
Repairs to the thickener rakes
Repairs to the thickener under-flow line
Repairs to the thickener U/F pump and
motor
Reconstruction of the leach tank feed line
7. repairs the thickener walkways and platforms
repairs to the leach tank platforms and
walkways
Installation of mechanical agitators in leach
tanks complete with motors
construction of a cyanide mixing tank
replacement of leach tank interconnectors
Installation of the 3/2 transfer pump and
motor and pipe lines
8. repair all agitators in carbon tanks
repair all platforms and walkways on carbon
tanks
replace all pipelines on the carbon tanks
repair the carbon trommel screen and motor
repair and replace all electrical wiring and
switchgear in the section
reconstruct the carbon scavenging screen
installation of the slimes dam pump and pipe
line
9. repairs and reconstruction of the current
slimes dam
repairs of the catwalk
repairs of the penstock
repairs of the barren water line
repairs of the barren water tank and pump
and motor
protection of the environment is essential at
every point of the project
Rehabilitation of the laboratory
10. purchase of a compressor
purchase of front-end loaders
purchase of dump trucks
purchase of a 450 kva Generator set
11. Carbon retention screens
Single stage or 2HD Mono pumps and
motors
And others
12. This phase involves what is happening on the
ground right now:
Cleaning muck out of all containers
repairs to the pinion gear
refabrication of the gear box coupling
relining of the ball mill
installation of the discharge pumps
repairs of the hydrocyclones
repairs of the electrical wiring and
switchgear
13. repairs to the lifting equipment
construction of the main feed hopper
repairs and replacement of all pipe works
repairs of all platforms and gangways on the
leach and adsorption section
repairs to the thickener equipment
Installation of mechanical agitators complete
with motors in the leach tanks
fitting of all pumps in the two sections and
piping
14. Repairs to all agitators in carbon tanks
Repairs to all electricals
Installation of carbon retention screens
Repairs of the carbon trommel screen
Repairs to all piping
Construction of a vibrating screen for carbon
scavenging c/w motor
Installation of a slimes dam pump and motor and
pipeline
Repairs to the slimes dam cat walk
Repairs and reconstruction of the slimes dam
walls
15. Replacement of the barren water line
Replacement of the return water pump and
motor
Environment protection essential at every
stage of the project
16.
17. This is a 6 ½ * 8 ft Ball Mill. It requires
relining
and the relining costs $75,000,00
18.
19. Feed hopper must be constructed at a cost to
be advised by the contracting partner
An initial estimate is valued at $10,000,00
20.
21. The refabrication of this unit is estimated at
$5,000,00 according to a quotation from
Nimr and Chapman
22.
23. This unit is estimated to cost at $31,000,00
according to quotation by Nimr and Chapman
Aim:
At the end of this presentation, we must be able to know the exact phases of the refurbishment programme
We must be able to identify the practical needs of the project
We must be able to identify skeleton labor for the initial phases of the development
We must be able to identify a competent partner ( engineering contractor) for the project
We must be able to come out with time frame for the project
