Brownfields

Increasing profitability
for mature projects

 

 

 

Enhance the efficiency and productivity of your existing mining operations with STARK’s advanced brownfield optimisation services. Transform your brownfield site into a high-performing asset today.

  • Upgrade Infrastructure: Modernise your facilities for better performance.
  • Improve Techniques: Implement cutting-edge extraction and processing methods.
  • Maximise Resource Recovery: Increase yield and extend the life of your mine.
  • Reduce Costs and Impact: Minimise operational expenses and environmental footprint.

We unlock value by increasing profitability and longevity of mining operations.

STARK specialises in Brownfield project optimisation, focusing on existing, mature projects to enhance techno-economic performance. Utilizing strong technical experience throughout the mine-value chain, we aim to optimise operations by reducing All-in-Sustaining Costs (AISC), mainly by innovative implementation of proven technologies. Applying comprehensive advisory, enginnering and construction , we identify critical areas for improvement and prioritise actions based on their modelled impact on cash flow.

Mine-to-mill optimisation cases

By generating extra cash flow, there is less urgency to establish a short-term exploration pipeline, freeing up both funds and time for further exploration endeavors.

Copper Project
+ 3200 t/hr plant, 0,55% Cu, 30% dilution, 93% recovery
+ NPV: $ 390m
+ ROI: 6 months
+ CAPEX: $ 40 m
+ OPEX: $ 0.45/t processed

Gold Project
+ 750 t/hr plant, 1,56 g/t Au. 17% dilution, 88% recovery
+ NPV: $ 37 m
+ ROI: 15 months
+ CAPEX: $ 12 m
+ OPEX: $ 0.45/t processed
