paste plant
is needed in ug mines and op mines.
Ug mines use the slurry for backfilling there verticle trending stopes.
The size for ph will b quite small. They do not need to run it much. At full capacity production of 5000 tons pd. It would need to produce about 1000 tons per day. Small plant would do that easy. They use up there tailings for that.
Maybe 2 million for plant.

No, not really. The mine is producing thickened tailings, more than half of which needs to go back underground as paste backfill. When the mine produces 5000 TPD, more than 90% of the material hoisted is waste, or more than 4500 TPD. They need to thicken 4500 TPD. Capital cost for a 4500 TPD paste plant is between $10M USD and $15M USD. RockDoc

11 min mark, Randy says it's running & needs full commissioning so the larger stopes can be turned over much faster. Rich said the last fans are not needed to reach 3k tpd. Glta!

I'm with you nofluff. I believe it's going to be a great Christmas and January for NCU. Good Luck
