At the BSLS, ore and waste will be hauled via 50t trucks to the shaft loading point where the material will be fed through a grizzly containing two rock breakers into a coarse ore storage bin. An apron feeder will then feed the coarse ore to a mineral sizer that reduces feed to a maximum of mm from which the material will then travel via an underground short conveyor towards the shaft loading flask.
The material will then be fed into two On surface, ore will be transported via an overland conveyor to the surface stockpile where a loader will feed the ore into the mill. Waste will be dumped via a side tipper approximately halfway between shaft and ROM pad and transported on trucks to the waste dump. Having conducted benchmarking visits to some of the leading underground mine sites around the world, the Project will incorporate some of the latest technology, to further enhance safety, operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Key technologies include fibre-optic backbone to provide all production areas with Wi-Fi sufficient for the control of semi and fully autonomous loaders, production drills and other equipment.
A state-of-the-art mine control room will be the real time operational nerve centre, monitoring and controlling ventilation, refrigeration, pumping, paste filling and mobile fleet activity. The system will monitor personnel and equipment location, providing real time feedback to the Ventilation on Demand VOD system to optimise power draw and ensuring chilled air is directed to the appropriate areas.
The shaft systems and related materials handling system will be monitored via CCTV and controlled remotely via the mine control room. The Cosmos process plant design is based on a conventional sulphide processing route using traditional grinding and flotation technology to produce a saleable concentrate.
Ore mined will be fed via conveyor from the production shaft head frame to the surface stockpile. A front-end loader will then be used to transport ore from the surface stockpile into the ROM bin to feed the mill. Production :. Reserves at June 30, Data Access UserName is required.

The hoisting shaft will be capable of accommodating up to 1. Hauling of ore and waste will be carried out at the BSLS via 50t trucks through a grizzly containing two rock breakers. The coarse ore will be fed to a sizer via an apron feeder to reduce the feed size to a maximum of mm. The feed material will then be fed into two Ore processing Ore processing will be done at the existing Cosmos processing plant which will be upgraded to increase mill throughput to 1Mtpa.
The expansion will involve the installation of a secondary crusher, conveyors, and reconfiguration of the grinding mills along with additional flotation capacity. The run-of-the-mine ROM ore will undergo two-stage crushing and grinding before being transferred to the flotation circuit to separate the nickel-containing sulphide from foreign particles. The nickel bearing concentrate from the thickening circuit will be filtered to produce the final nickel concentrate.
Infrastructure facilities for the Odysseus mine development The Cosmos nickel complex is accessible by gravel road from the sealed Goldfields Highway. The aerodrome at the Cosmos mine site will be upgraded to facilitate FIFO travel arrangements once staffing at the mining operation reaches the desired level.
Staff accommodation is also available at the Cosmos village which has a maximum accommodation capacity of The project is estimated to require 20MW of electricity supply which is expected to be met through diesel generators as well as renewable power resources.
A 13km lateral gas spur line is proposed to be constructed next to the existing Cosmos lateral spur line which connects the Cosmos power plant to the Goldfields Gas Pipeline GGP. Water supply will be received from the Yakabindie bore field to the reverse osmosis plant which supplies the mining camp. The process water will be pumped from the underground mine.
