Newmont Corp. cut its production guidance by almost 17% for the Boddington gold mine in Western Australia after commissioning what it said was the industry's first autonomous haulage system fleet.
On Boddington:
"Newmont has invested $150 million in Boddington's [autonomous haulage system] project which will create a safer, more efficient mine," the Denver-based miner said.
"Following completion of the industry's fastest AHS commissioning program, Boddington continues to ramp up the truck fleet to full productivity as the site fine tunes the technology for operation in a deep open pit mine."
"During commissioning the project faced several challenges, including unusually severe weather and heavy rainfall, shovel reliability and operational delays associated with managing bench hygiene as mining moves into deeper sections of the pit."
As a result of the challenges, Boddington delivered lower ex-pit tons than expected, the company said, with full-year 2021 gold production likely to be 140,000 ounces below original guidance estimates of 830,000 ounces.
Boddington is Western Australia's largest gold producer, delivering 670,000 ounces of the precious metal and 56 million pounds of copper in 2020, Newmont said.
Nicht schön, aber glaubwürdig und nachvollziehbar...
