Chart Detailing Production Haulage Costs for RIINO's Solutions

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.
