Water Management Models Save Time and Money
Water management represents a significant area for cost control for mining operations. A properly engineered network will cost less to build, operate and maintain, lowering capital expenses (capex) and operating expenses (opex). Moreover, ensuring all water management activities are completed in timely fashion, they should not affect the mine plan or mining operations, avoiding additional costs to the business. Take the new $A10 billion Roy Hill iron project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia as an example. It will produce 55 million metric tons per year (mt/y) of iron ore from multiple surface pits and production benches. Within the water supply scope there are various consumer facilities with differing feed requirements in terms of both water quality and quantity. Water management at Roy Hill has a total sustaining capital budget on the order of A$440 million over the course of the mine's life.
