Pebble Crusher Area Improvement
SDE performed a study to remove the existing 350 HP pebble crushing units and replace with larger 900 HP units. In addition, a dust collection system would be installed.
Scoping Study
SDE worked to produce a comprehensive scoping study for the optimization and development of a new mine. SDE’s responsibilities included all onsite facilities including the mill building (from the Crusher to the Concentrate Load-out), offices, maintenance shops, stores, camp, water & wastewater treatment, and transportation of tailings.
Pilot Plant Design
This project was for a large open pit Zn mine located in an extremely cold weather environment in the USA. Sacré-Davey Engineering was tasked with identifying suitable sorting techniques, carrying out the option evaluation and performing detailed engineering of the sorting plant.
Sabina Gold & Silver: Feasibility Study & Detailed Design
Sacré-Davey Engineering assisted Sabina Gold & Silver with managing and compiling their updated feasibility study for their Goose Project, Sabina’s first planned mine in Sabina’s Back River Gold District. Sacré-Davey managed the compiling of data and information from contributing companies for each of the 28 sections. Alongside its management role, Sacré-Davey worked on and contributed to the following sections: Onsight infrastructure, Logistics, Capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, and the financial analysis.
Molybdenum Flotation Cell Replacement
Sacré-Davey was required to complete a condition assessment of the structural steel supporting the existing Denver flotation cells. We also re-engineered the floor system incorporating some of the existing structural steel to support new Outokumpu Tank Cells
EPCM of Ore Sorting Plant
The acid-generating stockpiles and the distance between the mine and the mill was not only expensive, but also very difficult to manage at the Bonanza Ledge Gold Mine. An opportunity was identified to sort the sulfides carrying gold, and only ship the high-quality material at a very low cost. Sacré-Davey Engineering was responsible for the detailed engineering, procurement support, and construction management of an XRT sorter at the Bonanza Ledge Gold mine.
