DRA GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT SCOPE
A further objective is to identify potential opportunities for overall project enhancement and any further work required to attain the Class Two estimate accuracy (-15% to +20%).
DRA's scope of services encompass the following for the Phase Two Demonstration Plant and an updated DFS for the
- Review of relevant historical study documentation and test work results;
- Review of existing process engineering documentation ("Process Pack");
- Identification of potential trade-off and optimisation studies required for subsequent phases;
- Facilitate and partake in high-level Hazard and Operability studies;
- Review of the proposed materials handling approach;
- Review on the mining operations; and
- High-level review of project support infrastructure beyond the precinct of the process plant - securing of bulk power and bulk water; project logistics; plant access; construction and permanent accommodation, etc.
Further to the assessment of the Phase Two Demonstration Plant and DFS, DRA's services will extend to providing an in-depth review of the proposed mining philosophy and mining operation as well as an assessment and optimisation of the mine design for the
About
Makuutu is an advanced-stage, ionic adsorption clay-hosted project highlighted by near-surface mineralisation, significant exploration upside, excellent metallurgical characteristics and access to tier-one infrastructure.
The ionic adsorption clay-hosted geology at Makuutu is similar to major rare earths projects in
Makuutu is well-supported by tier-one existing infrastructure which includes access to major highways, roads, power, water and a professional workforce.
Rare Earths will play a critical role in the future of clean energy. Rare Earths are a key ingredient in the permanent magnets found in wind turbines and electric vehicles.
IonicRE is led by an experienced and proven team, who have the capabilities to deliver Makuutu into production and realise value for all stakeholders.
