Lower Haulage Costs. Reduced Footprint. Faster Development.

RIINO is advancing the development of a fully electric, driverless, remotely operated rail haulage system engineered for surface and underground mining operations. Designed to significantly cut haulage operating expenses (OPEX) by up to 90%*, eliminate the need for haul roads, and reduce underground ventilation demands. RIINO targets a 60%–70%* reduction in capital expenditures (CAPEX) and development excavated tonnes. Its compact 2-metre wide operating footprint, ability to operate on grades up to 20%, and reduction of access road widths and overburden stripping by up to 30%* contribute to improved mine planning and environmental outcomes. 
Lower Haulage OPEX with RIINO in Open Pit Mining Operation
Lower Haulage OPEX by 50% - 90%*

Fully electric, automated, and designed to eliminate road maintenance, reduce operating costs, and generate regenerative power with minimal ventilation needs underground.
Reduce CAPEX with RIINO in Underground Mining Operations
Reduce Development Excavated Tonnes and CAPEX by 60% - 70%*

Smaller drifts, faster development cycles, and earlier ore production - reducing ground support, ventilation, power use, and rehandling along the way.
Reduce Overburden Stripping with RIINO
Reduce Access Road Widths and Overburden Stripping by 20% - 30%

RIINO operates on a compact 2 m (6.5') footprint, handles >20% grades, reduces stripping, and ensures continuous, automated material movement - no weather delays, no safety risks from shared roads.

100% ELECTRIC

RIINO’s electric rail system is remotely operated, eliminating diesel dependency and reducing operational costs (OPEX). Developed in collaboration with mining industry partners, it addresses real mining challenges from energy consumption, complex site networks, to extended haul distances on varied terrain.
Reliable, scalable, and purpose-built, the RIINO system provides a practical alternative to diesel haulage. By minimizing infrastructure requirements and advancing electrification efforts, it enhances efficiency and supports long-term cost reduction.
