Changing the surface (Infrastructure)

Concentration Plant

crushing-milling-flotation: gold rich copper concentrate, be sold to smelters.

Water Supply

Established water supply from Reisa water, where there is established a pump house still standing. From the pump house, the water was brought in roughly the same route as the power cord, which also went up to the former mining area.

Power Line

Reisa water

In connection with previous mining operations were established on 3 MVA transformer station at the north end of Reisa water, see map section below. From the transformer station was established 22 kV overhead line until the mining area.
