Case Study - Agnew Mine
Details:
Located 30km from Leinster in Western Australia is Gold Fields Agnew Mine. This site houses the Waroonga and New Holland underground mines, the last two remaining gold mines in the Goldfields region. Both mines have been operational since the 1880s and have seen a resurgence in production over the past decade, producing 233,300oz of gold in 2020.
Challenge:
The recent resurgence in production required Agnew mine to complete a ventilation upgrade to meet Life Of Mine (LOM) requirements for continued production, mine extensions and brownfield exploration in under-explored sections of the tenements.
Solution & results:
Agnew’s decision to choose Minetek for their power solutions allowed for easy coordination of both the ventilation upgrade & the site’s power solutions, ensuring that all of Agnew’s requirements were holistically met with less down time.

We have utilised MINETEK for a number of sound attenuation projects in the Hunter Valley and have formed an excellent relationship with Glencore over many years. MINETEK understand our industry and always provide a solid and professional commitment to meeting our goals and objectives."
MINETEK will continue to be a favoured technical resource and supplier to the New Hope Group and are recommended as a professional, respected and competent supplier of technical services, equipment and products for noise abatement and other industrial products.
I have used these evaporators very successfully at mine sites where I have worked in the past. They are an extremely reliable unit and worked above expectations in the environment where we had them set up. As for spray drift/mist this can be controlled by the weather monitoring systems that are available with the units. Additionally, how you set them up and the amount of fall you can achieve allows for more moisture to be stripped from the droplets]will greatly benefit your overall evaporation rates.
MINETEK have been instrumental in the design of products used on our mining equipment. Our engagement with them is a true business partnership.
MINETEK initially provided products for heavy mobile equipment noise abatement at the New Acland Mine. These installations have been very successful and prompted the contracting of MINETEK to conduct a full mobile fleet and fixed plant noise monitoring assessment at the Acland mine site.
