Gold Mining 2From the research, I realised that Granites Gold Mine is Located Tanami desert whichis 500km North West of Alice Springs. During the production season that was marked with heavy rains that went for about two months, the roads were inaccessible thereby the mine wasnot in a position to track sufficient amount of diesel and this probably led to lower productions. However, this problem can be overcome by the use of a gas pipeline overcome this problem since when the installation is successful, there will be an assurance of improved security of supply of electricity thereby eliminating the carbon impression quite meaningfully[CITATION AEN14 \l 1033 ].In Newmont’s Tanami, there was a necessity of extracting an additional decline since with an underground system, there will be an increased amount of produce annually. This increase is approximated to shoot from 2.6 to 2.8 million tonnes per year. At the gold mine, the total cost of producing an ounce of gold is approximated to be $1,000. But with the expected revamp project, the cost of this project will be increased in terms of the product while the product cost per ounce will be slightly lower by $50, this means that the proposed system will be of much benefit economically. The mine is anticipating to complete an approximation of 3.3 kilometres of exploration drilling over the coming three years. This is quite commendable[CITATION Ant14 \l 1033 ].Another scenario presented is on the Kalgoorlie super pit whose mine life is expected to be due by 2019. This is roughly two years from now whereas the combined operation that includes the Mount Charlotte underground mine its lifetime is expected to be due by 2029.This means that the company will be in search of other mining areas. From the research, I was able to find that the company will be undertaking further exploration drilling to find more gold. The area that this will take place is three drill rigs located adjacent to the Super Pitlookout[ CITATION Lui11 \l 1033 ].
