Mining site of Tiébaghi
0
0
The site of Tiébaghi - 'Thunder Mountain' in Melanesian - is a large mining center reopened by SLN (Société Le Nickel) in 1997. It supplies one million tons of ore to Nouméa Doniambo pyrometallurgical plant located 248.5mi (400km) away. The extracted ore is crushed and transformed into pulp by water addition, then transported by pipes to the processing plant where grading and densimetric sortings take place. Once enriched, the ore is dried and transported by cargo ship to Nouméa.
