Underground & Surface

Lowered Haulage OPEX by 50% - 90%

  • Rail is the most efficient means of transportation

  • Full electric and automated operation

  • No road maintenance

  • Low energy consumption

  • Low maintenance costs

  • Regenerative energy produced

  • Minimal underground ventilation

Underground

Reduce Development Excavated Tonnes and CAPEX by 60% - 70%

  • No haulage trucks = Small drift profile

  • Reduced development schedule

  • Faster development cycle times

  • Earlier ore production

  • Less ground support

  • Less ventilation

  • Less overall electrical consumption

  • Minimal ore & waste rock rehandling

Surface

Reduced Access Road Widths and Overburden Stripping by 20% - 30%

  • No haulage trucks = Reduced haul road widths

  • 2m (6.5') wide operating footprint

  • Steep ramp travel of >30% grades

  • Less overburden stripping ratios

  • Fully automated and continuous material handling

OPERATIONAL CASE STUDY

Application Details:
  • Surface Haulage      Open Pit Crushing to Mill Stock Pile

  • Haulage Distance     1.0km

  • Production Tonnes    4000 TPD (Tonnes per Day)

  • Production Rate        550 TPH (Tonnes per hour)

  • Road Grade             Flat (0% Grade)   

Equipment Comparison:
  • 777 Haul Trucks - 100T (2 Units)     

  • RIINO monorail - 60T (1 Unit)

Costs:
  • 777 Haul Trucks        CAPEX $0 (Owned)      OPEX ($1.50/Tonne) 

  • RIINO Monorail        CAPEX $4.0M              OPEX ($0.38/Tonne)


  • Result: $17.5M Production savings over 5 years

    The costs represented are common values with operational figures that will fluctuate according to site-specific variables. RIINO haulage savings are unique to each application and are validated through engineering design and operational review. Values are in CDN currency.
