Project

Wyloo is currently conducting a Feasibility Study for the Eagle’s Nest Project. Based on the current mine plan, Eagle’s Nest is forecasting an underground operation with an initial 17-year mine life.

Highlights of the Eagle’s Nest Project include:

An initial 12-year mine life, with a potential eight-year extension.

Traditional 3,000 tonne per day underground mine operation (blast hole open stope).

Incorporating paste backfill to store 100 per cent of tailings underground to minimise surface disruption.

Annual production output of 15,000 tonnes of nickel, in addition to 6,000 tonnes of copper, 70,000 ounces of palladium and 22,000 ounces of platinum.

Mineralisation occurring in a near-vertical pipe-like structure, which extends from near surface to a depth of over 1,600 metres – three times the size of the CN Tower. The orebody remains open at depth.

Accessing underground ore via a twin decline (ramp). Ore to be transported from underground to surface via a conveyor in one of the portals.

Twin Portals
Aggregate for surface infrastructure to be crushed and screened.
Aggregate Crushing Area
Process water to be recycled to minimise water discharge requirements.
Water Treatment Facility
Processing of ore to generate clean, high-grade nickel and copper concentrates.
Concentrator
Using tailings to generate cemented paste backfill for open voids created from underground mining activity.
Paste Fill Plant
Offices, warehouse, maintenance shops and laboratory buildings.

Aggregate Stopes & Underground Tailings Storage
Aggregate from underground stopes to potentially provide material for regional infrastructure. Stopes to be backfilled with processed tailings, eliminating the need for a tailings storage facility on surface and minimising environmental impact.
Eagle’s Nest Orebody
High-grade nickel, copper and platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation occurring in a vertical pipe-like structure, extending from near surface to a depth of over 1,600 metres – three times the size of the CN Tower. The orebody remains open at depth.
Underground Infrastructure
Twin ramps, conveyors, crushers and ancillary development to facilitate orebody access for mine extraction and backfill.

Our path to development

We are working with the Federal and Provincial governments on permitting and approvals. With an expedited and whole-system approach, the same meticulous planning and quality of execution that is going into our mine design is being applied to all aspects of assessment, consultation and permitting.

Development of a regional infrastructure corridor providing all-season road access, led by First Nation communities, is key to unlocking the Eagle’s Nest deposit.
