SRK provided ad hoc technical services to Zinnwald Lithium Plc for the Zinnwald Lithium project in Germany from 2022 to May 2024. Work included geotechnical and mining method trade-off studies, mine planning support, and assessments of mining assumptions, stope optimisation, material handling systems, and high-level mine design and scheduling. The preferred mining method was longhole open stoping, with a bottom-up sequence and underground backfilling. Key infrastructure, including the primary crusher and backfill plant, was located underground to minimise surface impact. Material handling options were evaluated to inform development requirements and support the conceptual mine plan and three-year production schedule.
