TNT’s contract was for the design and supply of five overland conveyors, two mobile trippers, an emergency bypass stacker, reclaim hoppers and three mobile stacking/reclaim systems. The mobile systems will support on-off heap leach stacking, reclaiming and tailings stacking, with a bypass stockpile and reclaim system.
The network of five 1,200 mm overland conveyors will feed the three mobile systems, which will comprise a total of forty-two 1,200mm mobile conveyors. These include thirty-two 38 m “grasshopper” style portable conveyors, two 20 m short portables, two 29 m horizontal feed conveyors, two 43 m horizontal conveyors, two 55 m radial stackers and two mobile crossover conveyors. This is the the second system supplied by TNT for Nordgold.
