Project Components
Below is a list of the key Project Components for the Tenas Project. Much of what is listed below is typical for a small mining project. This list is subject to change.
Overview
- Open Pit Operation
- Conventional Excavator/Truck Operation
- Producing 775,000 to 825,000 t/year of metallurgical coal for sale
- Expected Mine Life (construction to completion of reclamation) is 25 years
- Expected Footprint of operation (including rail, powerline, and Bypass road) ~1,050 ha
Transportation
- An 11 kilometre Bypass Road for mine traffic once constructed
- Rail infrastructure that includes a 2.5 kilometre rail loop connection to the existing CN Railway line
- Improvements to 6.5 kilometres of existing forestry service roads
- Haul roads and access roads within the minesite
Mine Infrastructure
- Coal Processing Plant
- Coal handling systems for run of mine coal, processed rock, and processed coal (including plant conveyors, storage bins, and stockpiles)
- Storage piles for rock, processed rock, and overburden and stockpiles for topsoil, processed coal and processed rock
- Administration, first aid, maintenance, mine dry, laboratory, light vehicle, mine rescue, and warehouse buildings
- Surface water management infrastructure (ditches, sedimentation, control, management, and storage ponds)
- Water supply wells, storage, and distribution network
- Fuel and lubricant storage facilities and distribution network
- Explosives magazine, storage silos, and vehicle wash and maintenance facilities
- Propane storage facilities and distribution network
- Solid waste management systems including landfill, recycling and composting facilities
- A 3.5 km long 25 kV powerline and a 25 kV to 600V substation adjacent to the Coal Processing Plant
- A permanent bridge over Goathorn Creek
