TO THE 12TH ANNUAL ENERGY AND MINES IN TORONTO! We’re delighted to welcome such a diverse group of miners and decarbonization experts to discuss the opportunities and challenges in moving mining towards a low-carbon and, eventually, net zero industry. When we started researching the opportunities for miners to displace diesel with renewable energy over a decade ago, we couldn’t have imagined such momentum behind mining’s energy and fleet transition. At that time, there were a lot of barriers to integrating disruptive technologies on mine sites, whereas today, the solutions are not entirely clear but the timeline for decision-making has been set. Major and mid-tier miners have set targets for net-zero mining and are in the process of identifying pathways to reach these goals. This is a complicated, uncharted transition involving a variety of technologies, strategies, financing structures and collaborations. There is a lot of work to be done and multiple pathways to explore as miners move from target-setting to action on the road to net zero. Energy and Mines is delighted to be the annual event where miners come to hear from their peers on how they’re progressing their net zero goals and to network with the full value chain of global decarbonization experts at the forefront of this seismic shift. Now in its 12th year, the Summit has moved beyond its singular focus on renewable energy for mines to exploring the challenges and opportunities for reaching net zero mining in line with 2030 and 2050 goals. Our expanded agenda features the key topics identified by miners as critical to this stage of the decarbonization transition including how to achieve net zero energy and mobility. We’re really excited to have so many international mining presenters to provide a truly global perspective on the different challenges and strategies mines are adopting for decarbonization in different jurisdictions. We’ll also dig deep into the opportunities and challenges facing critical minerals miners in our Critical Minerals stream. These miners are facing the dual challenge of trying to begin, or ramp up, production quickly to support the global energy transition and development of EV battery supply chains while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprints. We’ll hear from a variety of miners on this topic as well as gain insight on key developments for accelerating North American critical materials supply chains. We hope you enjoy the content and the connections you make over the next two days. On behalf of the whole Energy and Mines’ team:

Wishing you a very successful Summit!

Dornier Suntrace GmbH is a member of the Dornier Group - a global one-stop engineering shop providing sustainable infrastructure solutions, combining leading knowledge across infrastructure sectors such as Energy, Water or Mobility. We provide strategic guidance in decision-making processes and support our clients from concept to implementation. Solar energy has come of age for the mining industry over the last decade. With over USD 400 bn global annual investment inflows, solar has outpaced all other energy generation technologies, including fossils or nuclear. The main reasons are low energy cost, high scalability and reliability. In the Gigawatt-range, large scale solar power plants have become bigger than nuclear, coal or gas-fired power plants today. In addition, renewable systems have become smarter and now provide integrated solutions such as self-sufficient energy supply, water desalination, irrigation or power-to-X. With continuously decreasing energy costs and increasing efficiency, tailored renewable energy solutions are conquering all conventional power and energy market segments with a breath-taking velocity. We conceptualize cost-efficient, highly reliable renewable energy solutions, tailor-made to the energy requirements of our industrial and mining clients. As needed, we start from existing conventional power supply and integrate solar and or wind into the system as a fuel saver. At Dornier Suntrace, we are working with mines for over ten years. We know that most mining companies are commodity producers with no interest in reducing their margins. Our recent successes show that the opposite is true: our solutions rather stand for significant energy cost savings. What is more, a solar and storage system increase the stability in the grid and are the reason the fuel in your storage tanks lasts longer. The independence and autonomy of power supply increases. Dornier Suntrace has a track record of over 12 mining projects globally, three of which are in operation, another five under construction, further in the feasibility stage. Our clients are midtier and senior mining companies. Overall, we can look back on experience from over 17 GW of renewable energy projects worldwide, most of which with a strong focus on emerging markets and off-grid areas. Summing up, there is a triple bottom line that drives renewable solutions for the mining industry: • significant energy cost savings and energy cost hedge for the rest of mining lifetime • increased energy supply security through storage and a larger range of conventional fuel reserves • decarbonization of the industry. Not only your CFO will be thrilled about the possibilities. Contact: Martin Schlecht I Director Engineering & Projects (COO) I martin.schlecht@dornier-group.com +49 171 9781366

The time to act on

2030 TARGETS

IS RUNNING OUT Interim decarbonization targets are looming ever closer, but the path to a green energy supply is anything but straightforward for miners. Martin Schlecht, Director Engineering & Projects at Dornier Suntrace, shares his insights on the main remaining challenges.

ORGANIZED BY

ENERGY AND MINES: What do you see as some of the essential steps required to facilitate the shutdown of HFO engines during daylight hours for an offgrid mining operation? MARTIN SCHLECHT: Shutting off all engines means you don’t have any spinning reserve available from the engines. So you need to replace the spinning reserve with the battery itself, with all its operational requirements. Engines are the safety net for off-grid operations, that every miner is used to, and it can be an emotional step to switch them all off in the first place. It’s important to track the weather forecast, as you should not switch off all engines if you don’t have enough sunshine. At Fekola, we have a sophisticated weather forecasting system that gives operators a lot of advanced warning to get engines up and running: the clouds should not take you by surprise. Specific to HFO engines is that they should not be started more than once a day, as more starts would increase the maintenance significantly. So that sequence also needs to be optimized for each day’s operations. It’s also a matter of how big the solar plant is and how many days during the year it will provide enough energy to switch off all engines. That’s a commercial evaluation: you find the optimum size of the solar plant based on whatever cost of energy or payback period against fuel cost savings you want to see. But I think it will be a mind-blowing experience to be around the mine when suddenly there is silence in the powerhouses and the mine is still operating at full load. E&M: What are your key takeaways from your experience with the off-grid solar-battery hybrid system for B2Gold’s Fekola gold mine in Mali? MS: We did an assessment of the performance of the powerplant after one year (which was last year in July), and it exceeded the calculated performance. It delivers the expected 20% fuel savings, and since fuel

prices went up sky high when Russia attacked Ukraine, the cost savings were higher than anticipated. So it has proven to be a hedge against the volatility of the fuel cost in a positive way. The operational experience at the Fekola gold mine has been positive so far, and they are able to operate and maintain it with their own power plant staff. We’re only involved on special occasions, so that works well. We’re already working on phase two, which involves growing the solar plant in order to be able to run on zero engines several days a year. That is definitely a sign of trust, both in the performance of the solar and battery plant but also in our work at Dornier Suntrace. E&M: Where are hybrid solutions for mines heading in terms of new and innovative strategies to drive further energy decarbonization for remote mining operations? MS: Last year at Energy & Mines, I presented a case study on integrating wind with solar and battery for an off-grid solution. And it showed that 85% renewables coverage can be reached at economic terms, when adding wind and solar at enough overcapacity to charge a battery. The case study showed that under used assumptions, a payback against heavy fuel cost would be possible within five to six years. But it’s a huge Capex: the investment into such a big renewable plant can easily reach the lower three digit million range, so quite significant even when compared to the overall investment into a mine. But the annual fuel savings will be huge as well. Basically it’s a trade-off of Capex versus Opex, and it’s also a question whether the mine is willing to invest into renewable energy for an existing asset or explore new assets. That’s where it becomes tricky, on where to allocate the funds that the mines have, and where they generate the best revenue from their core business perspective.

And then of course, if you look at electrification of the mine fleet, there is potentially another load that needs to be supplied from renewable energy and that also will involve energy storage. You have batteries within the vehicles and at the charging locations, and that can also help you to leverage the fluctuations from the renewables. How these concepts work, how to organize the logistics for electrification and how much renewable energy you need at what time is something where we are reinforcing our team with our colleagues from our mobility section with their experience. Going forward, we will provide integrated engineering solutions that also cover the electrification of operations, including vehicle charging logistics, energy storage, conveyor systems, all integrated with the renewable energy generation on site. In the area of mine water management, both water supply and drainage will require optimization for the usage of renewable energy. For instance, the idea of water storage as energy storage in mine water management is a whole new field, we are currently developing with our water section. E&M: What are some of the challenges mining companies still face in trying to transition to renewable energy and address Scope 2 emissions? MS: We work mostly with gold mines and most of them had good business during the last years, since gold prices remain high. So for them, investing in renewables from their own funds is not so much of a concern, at least not in the sizes and dimensions that we’re supporting them currently. Still, some mines are moving, and some are still working on their options. However, when it comes to delivering on the 2030 decarbonization commitments that most mining companies have made, the time to act is running out. It is also relevant to note that electricity is only responsible for one large share of the emissions on a mining site, while operations produce the balance.

DORNIER phase to account for the shift to decarbonized fleets - i.e. electric or hydrogen-powered mine trucks and equipment? MS: The electricity consumed by operations is of course an additional load, regardless of whether you generate hydrogen on site or charge electric vehicles’ batteries: both will require green electricity. Due to the efficiency of the electrolysis process, you usually need three to five times more green electricity to produce hydrogen compared to using the electricity in the first place. Batteries have 10 to 15% loss, which is very low compared to the losses that you have when using hydrogen. So going forward, hydrogen may not have too many benefits to outcompete the electric solution day to day.

Efficient conversion of mine operations to renewable energy supply requires a reassessment of all processes. At Dornier, we are working within our group on integrating both e-mobility and water management into the renewable energy supply scheme. Some of these commitments have to convert into physical renewable power generation within the next six years, and mines need to understand that a solar project, from conception to operation, will require at least two to three years. And with the renewables push everywhere, providers like us are very busy, so the work capacity is not idle. To find a competent supplier that has time when you need them, it’s good to plan ahead. I don’t see a bottleneck in terms of technology and equipment, but I do see it around the people that are actually supporting the implementation: engineers, workforce, and contractors doing the job. E&M: What should miners be thinking about when integrating renewable energy while trying to electrify fleets? MS: The discussion of hydrogen versus electrification is ongoing, however recently some aspects

ORGANIZED BY

seem to turn towards electrification. For example Australia’s three largest miners made an announcement that they decided against hydrogen and are going to electrify trucks instead. I do understand that truck manufacturers are developing and already selling options, but manufacturing is not yet rolled out in full scale. And when it comes to the different options to electrify mining operations, it may be good to think outside the box. Options are swapping an engine for a battery and figuring out how you charge it most efficiently alongside the truck operations, but also conveyor belts could be a substitute for hauling: it’s easier to electrify than trucks, it doesn’t need a battery, and it can run continuously from renewable electricity. For open pits, the concepts for electric trucks and charging logistics are being developed and there is no common knowledge at this point. I think you can improve further than simply swapping a diesel engine for a battery: there may be a transition in the nature of the fleet itself. E&M: What do you think needs to be considered during the hybrid design

One should approach decarbonization gradually, assessing what degree of decarbonization is economic, but provides a benefit to the operations or at least keeps operations at an equivalent cost level. I would not say that every renewable investment needs to have an investment-level internal rate of return, but that is usually the way these investments are looked at. And if it’s just break-even at the cost level, that’s not very attractive as an investment. If not, there is a push to decarbonize for not losing the market, as for example could happen with Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism taxes and the like. For now, we only implement projects that have such a strong cost benefit that they pay back within four to six years and bring huge savings on fuel cost. When the renewable plant is being amortized, it’s almost free of charge electricity, and the more years you have remaining to continue, the more profitable it will be for operations. And that may help the business case for hydrogen: as seasonal fluctuations occur, you could use some of the excess power you get during abundant periods to produce hydrogen-based fuel, store it, and then use it in seasons when renewables are scarce. However, these economics are still to be determined.

ATACAMA

Renewable Energy and Mining in the High Desert of Chile

y the time Jamey Stillings flew over the Atacama Desert’s stark landscape in a small Cessna, gyro-mounted camera in hand, he felt he already knew it intimately. For months, he had poured over satellite imagery to better understand the area’s geography. From the Chilean Coastal Range, which blocks nearly all ocean moisture from the interior, to the expansive Salar de Atacama and soaring volcanos of the Andes, the desert is distinctive. Unlike deserts of the southwestern United States— often veiled by creosote bush, piñon, and juniper—the Atacama reveals its geology with unabashed directness. No vegetation obscures its naked beauty. Over time, water and wind have shaped this land, and rain, though rare, often suggests itself as its dominant sculptor.

Upon this striking geoscape, humankind imposes its will. Immense open-pit mines account for nearly a third of the world’s copper production, and the brine in lithium mine evaporation ponds will eventually power our cars, computers, and smartphones. Vast solar and wind utility-scale energy projects generate electricity for Chilean industry, commerce, and culture. From an aerial perspective, humankind’s stewardship of this land reveals the unembellished evidence of our demands and desires. The diverse geography of the Atacama Desert gives it a unique set of attributes, and Stillings was committed to documenting them with his distinct aerial aesthetic. In 2017 and 2022, he crisscrossed the Atacama Desert of Chile from

Iquique to La Serena, photographing mines, renewable energy projects, and the dramatic landscapes of the region’s rugged and raw beauty. Historically, electricity generated using imported coal and natural gas was transmitted to mines and population centers throughout the North. Yet, the Atacama has some of Earth’s highest solar and wind energy potentials. Since 2008, through government policy, private investment, and public pressure, Chile’s renewable energy development has become an example for other countries and mining operations worldwide. This trend accelerated as the price of solar and wind projects became competitive with fossil fuels for electricity production. Between 2008 and 2020, non-hydrological

become the name for this evergrowing body of work. ATACAMA: Renewable Energy and Mining in the High Desert of Chile (Steidl, 2023), Stillings’ new book, was released in July. He is attending the Energy and Mines Toronto Summit to “listen, learn, build collaborative contacts and support for new project work” and sign copies of ATACAMA.

renewable energy capacity in Chile grew by 1900%. Most major mining operations have converted to 100% renewably sourced electricity for both economic and environmental reasons. There is no political downside to lowering the carbon footprint of mining operations. For Stillings, the growing dynamic between the mining industry and the rapidly developing renewable energy sector is a compelling subject. In 2010, Stillings initiated his aerial photography project focused on renewable energy, which spanned four years and involved nineteen flights to document the construction

of the 392MW Ivanpah Solar concentrated solar plant in the Mojave Desert of the United States. The New York Times Magazine was the first to publish an extended photo essay in June 2012. The work became a museum exhibition and an award-winning book, The Evolution of Ivanpah Solar, published by renowned German photobook publisher Steidl in 2015. Over time, his work has grown to cover a wide range of solar and wind projects throughout the American West, Japan, Uruguay, and Chile. Changing Perspectives: Renewable Energy and the Shifting Human Landscape has

Stillings’ vision is to build and expand Changing Perspectives internationally over the coming decade. His keen interest in the nexus between mining and renewable energy continues, and he has his sights set on a new extensive project, Changing Perspectives: Renewable Energy in Australia.
