Onaping Depth Mine project is under construction and expected to be in operation by 2025. The Onaping Depth project is a deep mine project that will provide high-grade nickel ore beyond 2035, which is critical for electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines.
The Onaping Depth mine project will be an all-electric underground operation. Onaping Depth is a new approach to underground mining that utilizes digital technology for real-time remote management, monitoring, and control from the surface. The aim is to reduce worker exposure to hazardous areas by using remote and autonomous technologies. The mine will have wireless communication and battery-powered electric vehicles to reduce emissions and pollution. New technology will also be used to improve ventilation and cooling systems in high-temperature environments. |
