SRK’s open pit teams completed two major projects on ArcelorMittal’s biggest iron ore operation in the world, Mount Wright and Fire Lake in eastern Canada, from 2018 to 2019. The initial work included an in-depth review of resource models, mine designs and production schedules. It was followed by strategic mine planning and detailed mine designs for two major pits. SRK conducted pit optimisation for two major deposits, selected the final pit considering the company’s strategies, developed detailed mine designs, sequenced mine development and developed a detailed production schedule for the life of mine. SRK also assisted ArcelorMittal in technical reports and long term mine planning.
