Syama System Overview Major Components
PHASE 1: MINE DIGITALISATION
Phase 1 capability delivers the completed control room with connection to the underground wireless network and the ability to schedule, control and monitor MANUAL underground activities in real-time.
PHASE 2: AUTONOMOUS PRODUCTION AND HAULAGE
Phase 2 capability delivers AUTOMATED LHD and DRILL production on the levels and AUTONOMOUS TRUCK haulage from the 1055 level to the surface ROM

Syama System Overview Phase 2: Autonomous Haulage and Production
Automated Haulage Loop – The Main Game
-
The Automated Haulage Loop is the “Main Game” in terms of the Syama Underground Mine’s delivered benefit from innovation
-
The Automated Haulage loop enables Resolute to haul ore 24 hours a day / 7 days a week
-
Traffic is managed by a centralised server which increases throughput relative to manual hauling
-
Higher production rates over more hours per day = more tonnes

Syama System Overview Phase 2: Autonomous Haulage and Production
Automated Haulage Loop – The Main Game
The Automated Haulage Loop consists of three sections:
1. Haulage Level: this is where the autonomous trucks are loaded underground by the remotely operated LHDs. The ore is taken from the ore passes which are fed by the production levels
2. Autonomous Decline: the mine has a segregated autonomous decline with passing bays where the autonomous trucks make their way to the surface.
3. Boxcut & ROM: after leaving the underground mine the trucks tram up the boxcut and to the ROM where they dump

==> picture [651 x 372] intentionally omitted <==
Nafolo Snapshot
-
Untested to the south and at depth
-
All drillholes to date have intersected gold mineralisation
-
Nafolo mineralisation can potentially be accessed from existing Syama Underground infrastructure and may form part of a future expanded mining operation
-
Infill resource drilling continuing to upgrade to Indicated status
