filtered with an inline filter (170-IFL-001) and used as process water while thickener
underflow is sent to the press filter (170-FPR-001). Liquids from the filter are recycled
back into the thickener (170-THK-001) while solids are stored in bin (175-BIN-003)
prior to transport to the Hydromet plant via truck.
Reagent Preparation
17.2.5
Flocculent material is stored in a hopper (190-HOP-002) prior to mixing in a mixing
tank (190-TAK-009). The mixed flocculent is stored in a distribution tank (190-TAK-
010) and is used in the PUG thickener (170-THK-001).
Reject Rock Management
17.2.6
Reject material from the different ore types and processing scenarios is processed
through a vacuum belt filter (160-BLF-001) for dewatering. The solids from the filter
are stored in a bin (165-BIN-001) prior to trucking to the reject material stockpile.
Water Supply
17.2.7
Water used throughout the PUG process is stored in on-site tanks 180-TAK-007 and
180-TAK-008 for raw/fire and process water, respectively.
