ENGINEERING READINESS 

RIINO has ensured that each aspect of the system is designed entirely using proven, off-the-shelf, commercially available components. Each is selected for performance, reliability, global supply, and use in rugged environments. 

Design alignment includes, but is not limited to the following standards organizations:

Lowered Haulage OPEX by 50% - 90%

Depending on mine geometry, production rate, and operating conditions.

  • 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

OPERATIONAL CASE STUDY

80% Lower Haulage OPEX

  • 20% incline underground operation 

  • 3 trains (50 Tonne Payloads) 
  • 600 Tonnes per hour production rate
  • 1MW maximum power consumption
  • +20 Degree Celsius operation
  • 18" (457mm) Minus lump-size material

SURFACE MINE NETWORK 


The RIINO system can be configured to manage multiple pits, satellite deposits, and nearby facilities: 

  • Connect mine to mill

  • Link multiple mine sites within the same region

  • Extend haulage to satellite or lower-grade deposits without requiring new permanent roads or large fleets

  • Redeploy track infrastructure as pits advance, close, or re-open.


This reduces environmental disturbance compared to traditional haul roads and truck fleets by lowering:

  • Earthworks and surface disruption

  • Construction timelines and upfront capital investment

  • Operational costs associated with road maintenance
