Description of Hydraulic Mining Method: The Hillendale Mine hydraulic mining method consists of a series of water monitors which are used to direct a continuous high pressure (up to 40 bar at the Hillendale mine) water jet onto the face to undermine it, thus causing it to collapse. When sand from the face falls in blocks, the water is used to break up the material into a slurry which then gravitates into a satellite pump station situated at an elevation well below the lowest planned mining elevation.

Transport of the slurry from the mining area by means of a trench system is utilised. A satellite pump transfers the slurry into a plastic-lined, V-shaped surface trench down which it gravitates to a central sump area, located next to the PWP. This transport method has proved to be very successful at the Hillendale operation. A caisson structure protects the pumps in the sump area, from where the RoM is pumped into surge bins with a capacity of 1,000m³ to guarantee a constant supply and also to control the density of the feed to between 35% and 45% solids.

GN Mud Cleaner

• Environmentally Efficient – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER provides efficient removal of sand and silt particles larger than 20 microns, and some as small as 15 microns. Removing and drying drilled solids helps meet environmental regulations by minimizing waste generated and reducing disposal cost.
• High Performance – Processing capacity of 1,000 gpm with the 2-12 D-SANDER and 900 gpm with the 6T4 D-SILTER concentrates solids onto a classification shaker
• Versatile – The MUD CLEANER can be operated with the 2-12 D-SANDER, 6T4 D-SILTER or both to process weighted or unweighted fluid systems.
• Extends Equipment Life – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER helps minimize maintenance, repair and replacement of downstream equipment.
• Reduces Operating Cost – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER reduces sand and silt-size particles and saves liquid, thus reducing mud cost, chances of stuck pipe and lost circulation and improving rate of penetration.
• Reduces Disposal Cost – The 2-12/6T4 MUD CLEANER minimizes waste generated thus reducing disposal cost.
