Top-Down | Earlier Ore
Starts near the top of the orebody, reducing pre-production development and accelerating access to ore.
Distressed asset fit
SMART is designed to address the mine-plan constraints that strand otherwise valuable deposits.
Starts near the top of the orebody, reducing pre-production development and accelerating access to ore.
Reinforced floors, posts and progressive CRF create a supported system designed to limit ground movement.
Smaller staged openings enable targeted containment, monitoring and project-specific groundwater isolation.
Cell-scale planning and ~500 t blasts can place more mineralization in the mine plan, improve recovery and reduce dilution.
Mining, structural installation and backfilling can proceed in parallel—supporting earlier cash flow and staged capital deployment.
Repeatable geometry, engineered roofs and protected power/fiber support safer tele-remote operation.
SMART can re-rate a mineral asset: more mineralization enters the mine plan, more planned ore is recovered and less waste reaches the mill. Cleaner feed can reduce haulage, energy, consumables, equipment wear and dry-stack tailings per unit of metal produced.
