Redpath Completes Largest Bored Raise by Volume in the Americas

Feb 11, 2021

North Bay, Ontario, Canada, February 11, 2021: The Redpath Group reached a milestone this week, as the company completed an 875 metre by 6.3 metre diameter raise at Niobec Mine in Québec, Canada. The raise is the largest by volume ever completed in the Americas and in the northern hemisphere. It is also the third biggest globally. The Redbore 90EX raisedrill, manufactured by Redpath in North Bay, Canada, was selected as the most appropriate drill to undertake this project.
 
The remarkable achievement was a team effort that started in 2019 when Niobec approached Redpath Canada.
 
“Having worked together previously, Redpath’s project team understood Niobec’s needs for achieving a fully integrated process ensuring the lowest possible end cost, coupled with the highest standards of safety and productivity. The engineering and construction teams of our two companies worked in partnership to achieve this goal. The project finished safely and ahead of schedule”, said Johan Davel, General Manager, Redpath Raiseboring.
