RIINO's Engineering: Minimizing Tunnel Size for Sustainable Mining Solutions

Underground

Reduce Development Excavated Tonnes and CAPEX by 60% - 70%

  • No haulage trucks = Small drift profile

  • Reduced development schedule

  • Faster development cycle times

  • Earlier ore production

  • Less ground support

  • Less ventilation

  • Less overall electrical consumption

  • Minimal ore & waste rock rehandling
