Canadian Wollastonite Engineering Project - Phase 2

Design & Build of a Wollastonite Beneficiation and Processing Plant – Kingston, OntarioCanadian Wollastonite (CW) intends to build a state-of-the-art wollastonite beneficiation and processing plant on its property located in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, adjacent to the City of Kingston, Ontario Canada. CW intends to beneficiate the ore by a proven flotation process into wollastonite product (WO) with a by-product of Magnetics (Mags) and Middlings (Midds) followed by flotation beneficiation producing by-product concentrates of diopside (DP), feldspar (FS) and sulphide-graphite (SG). The concentrates will be dewatered with further product grinding, classification & packaging of primarily WO. The initial plant will be sized for nominally 100,000 tonnes per year (tpy) of ore producing nominally 30,000 tpy of WO.Phase I involved the initial Site Preparation & Construction that was the subject of a previous ACCES project.Phase II involves the Process Modules Fabrication & Installation which is the subject of this current ACCES Project Group. Phase III involves completing the interconnection of process modules followed by commissioning and is to be the subject of a future ACCES Project Group.Phase II: Process Modules Fabrication & InstallationPhase II is for shop building modules and installation of modules and equipment at the site including:Project plan for sourcing and ordering equipment for module constructionPlan for shop fabrication of modules, installation of equipment and assemblyOverall plan and design philosophy for module interfaces and connections for piping, electrical, conveyances, etc. to minimize field constructionTransportation plan including requirements for transport equipment, schedule, loading & unloading requirements to suit the installation planBudget cost estimate for each module including the equipment, fabrication of the modules, installation of the equipment, QA/QC & transport to the sitePhase II has been divided into four (4) different areas of the plant as follows, and each team will be in charge of one area (each team will be receiving a comprehensive information package regarding their area):A) Crushing & Grinding ModulesB) Flotation & Reagent Mixing ModulesC) Dewatering & Utility ModulesD) Product Grinding, Classification & Packaging ModulesDue Dates: Week of May 18-22 for initial in-person meetings, the week of June 1-5, 2020 for mid-way check-ins, and the final deliverables on June 27, 2020.

Canadian Wollastonite Engineering Project

Project Description:To meeting growing global demand and add value to our Wollastonite ore, Canadian Wollastonite and a newly formed subsidiary, called “Newco” for the purposes of this document, will develop a processing plant for the wollastonite ore. Newco will design and build a plant to beneficiate 100,000 tpy of Wollastonite ore by a proven flotation process. This will generate 30,000 tpy of wollastonite product with additional high-value byproducts:10,000 tpy of Magnetics35,000 tpy of Diopside concentrates22,000 tpy of Feldspar concentrates3,000 tpy of Sulphide-Graphite concentratesDeliverables:The final deliverable is a Phase 1 Plan that includes a Project Management Plan, Procurement Plan, Execution Plan, Schedule, Cost Estimate that takes into account the following elements:a) A plan for ensuring all of the required permits are in place prior to the commencement of constructionb) A Plan for site civil works including any topsoil removal, grading, cut & fill, contouring, runoff ditching, earthworks, roads, yards, gravel pads, concrete foundations, etc.c) A Plan for temporary construction offices, lighting, power, hygiene facilities, scrap & garbage bins as required to carry out construction activitiesd) A Plan for the installation and commissioning of the modular office, safety, control room & hygiene facility for temporary use during later phases of construction and later for plant operationse) Design provisions and considerations must enable a future doubling of capacity as value-added markets developeDeliverable 1: Phase 1 Project Management Plan – DraftThis deliverable is to show a work-in-progress report with Project Plans that include but are not limited to:Project Management Plan including a Project Execution Plan; Engineering & Design Plan; Procurement Plan; Permitting Plan; Startup & Commissioning Plan for Phase 1 ActivitiesPreliminary Cost Estimate for Phase 1Preliminary Schedule for Phase 1Due Date: February 25, 2020 - In-person meeting (or conference call) in TorontoDeliverable 2: Phase 1 Project Management Plan – CompleteThis deliverable is for a final and complete project management plan with costing that meets or exceeds the project requirements in the project description in the resources section on RiipenThe final report should suit the requirements of a future project management team to move from plan to action in the next phases of planningDue Date: Week of March 2-6 with in-person meeting & discussion week of Mar 2-6 2020(Meeting & discussion date can be scheduled after Mar 6 with approval from the instructor and participants)

Canadian Wollastonite Engineering Project - Phase 3

Design & Build of a Wollastonite Beneficiation and Processing Plant – at Seeley’s Bay, near Kingston, Ontario.Canadian Wollastonite (CW) intends to build a state-of-the-art wollastonite beneficiation and processing plant on its property located in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, adjacent to the City of Kingston, Ontario Canada. CW intends to beneficiate the ore by a proven flotation process into wollastonite product (WO) with a by-product of Magnetics (Mags) and Middlings (Midds) followed by flotation beneficiation producing by-product concentrates of diopside (DP), feldspar (FS) and sulphide-graphite (SG). The concentrates will be dewatered with further product grinding, classification & packaging of primarily WO. The initial plant will be sized for nominally 100,000 tonnes per year (tpy) of ore producing nominally 30,000 tpy of WO.Phase I involved the initial Site Preparation & Construction for which was the subject of a previous ACCESS Project Group. Phase II involved the Process Modules Fabrication & Installation at the Site. Phase III involves completing the interconnection of the modules followed by commissioning and start up activities which is the subject of this current ACCESS Project Group.Phase III: Scope of Work for Final Installation & Plant CommissioningThe Phase III scope is to finalize the installation of the Plant with the interconnections of the modules followed by commissioning including:Complete the installation of the modules structurally including access walkways, stairways, ladders, doors, etc.Interconnection of the modules at their piping and cabling interfacesFinal installation of any exterior piping, interconnecting pipe racks, pipelines the pond, and any other interconnecting pipingInstall and connection to utilities at the site including connection of the MCC’s to the substation, pneumatic systems, fresh water well, propane bullet, etc.Final installation of any remaining exterior interconnecting cable trays and cabling from MCC’s to module junction boxesFinal installation and connection of PLC’s, instruments, instrument cables and connections from MCC’s to junction boxes and end devicesEmergency & backup power installation and function testingFinal installation of cladding, roof systems, exterior doors, fit up for weatherproofing, etc.Final installation of exterior lighting systems for safe night time operationsFinal road & yard top dressing with site grading to ensure effective runoff water drainageFinal QA/QC activities including final inspections for safe operation to the satisfaction of final permits and acceptance for operation and/or occupanciesOrdering & receiving the initial first fill of reagents, critical parts/spares, tools etc. for ongoing continued operations & maintenanceCommissioning and Start Up (C&SU) activities.Phase III: Project Management PlanThe Phase III Project Management Plan should include the following elements:Project Execution Plan for Phase III including provisions for managing the scope, resources, communications, risk, procurement and stakeholdersAn estimated overall cost for Phase IIIQuality Management PlanSchedule for Phase III activitiesCommissioning and Start Up (C&SU) Plan.Phase III of the project will begin on Sep 21, 2020, and the final deliverable of the project will be presented on Nov 5, 2020.
