Dear Mbanza,
Considering that the continuous miner will advancing approximately 150 meters ahead within the HEZA Decline tunnel, In my option procuring a 90-meter flexible cable would be a more effective solution compared to using plugs.
@Sebastian Rutiririza<mailto:[email-masked]> Could you please confirm if a flexible cable of continuous miner is available in the local market? Once confirmed, we can initiate the requisition process without delay.
Regards,

Dear Mbanza,

Could we move forward with either Option 1 or Option 2? This will enable us to expedite the requisition process.

referring to the costs and adding to the input from the mining team will provide, including @Noel Twagirayezu<mailto:[email-masked]>Noel and @Gilbert Irandengeye<mailto:[email-masked]>, about the plan to start blasting in the HEZA Decline (which will reduces the need for extended use of the continuous miner), Option 2 could be viable if our procurement team, @Sebastian Rutiririza<mailto:[email-masked]>, can confirm the availability of the continuous miner cable (Flexible cable) in the market.

Alternatively, we can proceed with Option 1 if that is preferable.

Thank you for your guidance.

Dear Mbanza and team,

I am writing to provide an updated budget and cost comparison for operating a continuous miner within 150 meters inside the HEZA Decline tunnel, focusing on options for using plugs and accessories or a continuous miner cable (flexible cable).

Option 1: Using Plugs and Accessories

The estimated cost for this option is USD 5,702, which is approximately 7,736,342.45 Rwf. This amount does not include taxes and shipping costs, and further details are provided in the attached budget document.

Option 2: Using a Continuous Miner Cable (Flexible Cable)

For this option, we would need an additional 90 meters of flexible cable to add to the 60 meters already procured, allowing us to cover the full 150 meters required. After consulting with the procurement team, they confirmed the cost of the continuous miner cable at 54,000 Rwf per meter. Therefore, for 90 meters, the total expense would be 4,860,000 Rwf.

Additional Notes:

  1.  I spoke with our continuous miner operator, Safari J. Paul, regarding the use of this continuous miner in hard rock conditions. He confirmed that it is feasible but noted that we would need to frequently sharpen the chisels.

  1.  Please also note a correction from a previous attachment: there was an error in the listed cost of the Armoured cable (4 x 35 mm²). The correct price is 8,000 Rwf per meter, not 800,000 Rwf. Additionally, the quantity of plugs required has been updated in the revised attachment.

Regards

Dear Mbanza,

I'm writing to request your approval to proceed with the requisition of essential electrical materials, including plugs, cable clamps, and armoured cable, under PR 000004715 and PR 000004716.

These materials are critical for extending power to the plugs used by the continuous miner as we are resuming operations on the HEZA Decline project. The cost estimations for each of these items are detailed in the attached document for your review.

Your prompt approval would greatly facilitate this requisition process, as these materials are urgently required to ensure smooth project continuation.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,

  1.
