Water pump and water source enabled on mining site in North Mara

Date: 2019-05-03

Located in Tanzania, the North Mara gold mine successfully enabled a water pump and water source on its mining site to support operations.

The submersible water pump have been put in action and its flow verified. This is good flow to handle and process several tonnes of tailings per hour. It may handle easily good fresh ores. We will still consider lessening the expenses by using solar power, or battery run bilge pumps.

Terms

• Submersible Water Pump: Electric motor that is completely sealed and submerged in fluid to drive a centrifugal pump.
• Tailings: The by-product slurry of rock that is no longer of value to the mining operation, typically consisting of finely ground rock and process water.
• Fresh Ores: Raw mineral or metal deposits that are ready for processing and extraction.
• Solar Power: Energy derived from the sun’s radiation, used to generate electricity for equipment operation.
• Battery Run Bilge Pumps: Pumps powered by stored electrical energy in batteries, commonly used to remove water from the bilge of vessels or industrial machinery.
