Multicom Resources Assistance

Multicom Resources engaged MEC to undertake the progressive rehabilitation and closure planning study for their St Elmo project. The study centred around the comprehensive material movements of project across its life of mine from undisturbed topography to final landform.

MEC assessed material types into blocks to simulate a strip sequence of mining to waste dumps and then material rehandle requirements for reshaping to final landform.

The assessment factored in major topographical changes that would alter drainage across the site and where possible made design allowances to mirror the original drainage lines to stabilise the cadence of water flow through the system to pre-mining levels.

Furthermore the study considered hydrological and hydraulic modelling to assess the impact of a probable maximum precipitation flood event on the site and local catchment factoring in the most recent climate change data.
