Continuous Improvement Programs
Mining:
TGO has been working collaboratively over the last 12 months with its fleet hire equipment provider, Emeco, to improve overall mining productivity. This project, “Emeco Better Solution”, has to date delivered a 12% increase in payload and 10% increase in operating efficiency lifting TGO’s fleet into the first or second quartile of similar mining fleets in Australia across most standard productivity metrics.
Processing:
The team has been focussed on stable recovery and lowering unit costs. This has been successful in reducing processing cost by >7% over the last 12 months to below that forecast in the DFS 2013.
