Located in northwestern British Columbia, Galore Creek is one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold-silver projects worldwide.
Novagold has proposed the installation of a slurry pipeline to transport 2000 tonnes per day of copper concentrate in an 8” by 135 km lined pipeline.
In parallel, a 4” diesel fuel pipeline will be installed to supply the mine.
Cathodic protection and a fiber-optic control system will be incorporated into the project.
A single pump station will be located in mountainous terrain of the mine site.
A 300 bar piston diaphragm pump will provide the motive power to transport the concentrated ore slurry at a rate of 134 m³/day to the filter plant.
PSI has provided a detailed feasibility study, which consisted of:
● Slurry sample laboratory test report
● Pipeline hydraulic analysis
● Major component sizing
● Freeze protection study
● System operation & control philosophy
● Capital & operating cost estimates
● Construction plan & schedule
● Process flow, piping & instrument diagrams
