Ann: Processing Plant Design Finalised for Emmanu, page-25

There has been a suggestion the all you need to do is to plonk down a few slabs, plug in the power and your way.
This shows a serous lack of construction of not only the site and earth works needed but also the complexities of commission a plant.

The site has a foot print of approx 4000m2 for just the plant. (72m by 54m) (not including the dams)

There is a ore delivery platform 4m high supported by a concrete retaining wall.
Basing this just on Australian standards, just the base to support this retaining wall would have a foot print of approx 3m out and .9m deep. Full of heavy reo bar.
The approx concrete just for a footing based on the plan would be around 100m3. That's 20 trucks. (5m3 for a big mixer)
THEN you could start to form the retainer.

Is there ready supply of this amount of concrete or will a plant have to be set up on site.

The bases of the other crushers would have to be considerable given the vibration they will have to deal with and again full of reo bar. More than likely with piers down to solid rock.

Then there is the recycling water dam for the washer/scubber.
I would assume there would have to be a water dam as well.

You have to deal with a power plant and connection to the plant. Is it a diesel gen or grid connection with an on site transformer. If grid. How reliable is it?

You need Surveyors, boiler makers, electricians, plumbers.
Heavy lifting equipment.

3-4 months at $1.5????? We'll see.
