ioneer signs autonomous haul deal with Caterpillar (Creamer Media's Mining Weekly)

PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed ioneer has struck a technology system supply agreement with major equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (Cat), ...

ioneer is expected to produce a yearly average of 20 600 t/y of lithium carbonate/hydroxide and 174 400 t/y of boric acid over Rhyolite Ridge’s 26-year life. All support equipment will feature the latest MineStar technology using high-precision GPS and real-time analytics to maximise efficiency and accuracy in material loading. The company said that the dual production of lithium and boric acid allowed ioneer to not only produce lithium in the US, but to do so at the very bottom of the global cost curve. The operations are scheduled to start in 2024 with a fleet of Cat 785 next generation mining trucks equipped with Cat Command for hauling, and the fleet is scheduled to expand significantly in 2028. The Rhyolite Ridge feasibility study in February last year showed the viability of autonomous haul systems (AHS) at the mine and the proposed application of AHS could positively impact the overall cost structure of the operations. PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed ioneer has struck a technology system supply agreement with major equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (Cat), solidifying the introduction of autonomous haul trucks at the Rhyolite Ridge project, in Nevada.
