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.

Kipoi have successfully utilized MINETEK WATER evaporators on our process water pond to remove mine water and has contributed to help with our water balance. We are currently in the process of moving these units to where the catchment area is larger giving us better utilization of the evaporators.
Our evaporators are still performing flawlessly and working absolutely great. They have been running 24/7 without a single hiccup. Thanks again!”
The relatively small fans allowed us to utilise our existing bulkhead, where we were severely limited by space, which allowed us to use our existing infrastructure and dramatically reduce downtime in the mine during the change out. The installation was completed safely... and allows us to scale our ventilation flow with their pressure on demand system to suit our production profile.
We are always looking at new innovations and technologies that will benefit both us and our clients. Minetek has been able to display that with the use of their modern ventilation technology, where we can look to see production increases through faster re-entry times and reduced capital costs in the total life of the development, delivering value to both us and Mincor.
The ability to deliver equipment on time has been a feature of our dealing and we haven't had a situation where a variation has been requested. The quality of their workmanship has been good and the capability of hardware has been as expected or better than quoted”
