GB Innovation Completes Power Line Installation at Ssangjeon Mine

GB Innovation announced on August 12 that it has completed the construction of a large-scale power supply infrastructure, a key requirement for commercial production, at the Ssangnyeon Mine located in Uljin, North Gyeongsang Province.

This project was overseen by the North Gyeongsang branch of Korea Electric Power Corporation and was carried out under the name "Geumgangsong-myeon Ssangjeon-ri GB Innovation High-Voltage 2500kW New Installation Project." The work spanned a total of 4.8 kilometers from the entrance of Ssangjeon-ri village in Geumgangsong-myeon to the Ssangjeon Mine and took approximately three months to complete. With all administrative permits and approvals finalized, a stable supply of large-scale electricity is now possible.

Until now, the Ssangjeon Mine had operated with only minimal electricity supplied by its own power generation facilities. With the completion of this power line installation, it is now possible to expand underground safety facilities and operate major production equipment.

Lee Heewoon, Vice President of GB Innovation, stated, "With the securing of a stable power supply, we can now fully operate key equipment such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, ball mills, spiral mills, shaking tables, large ventilators, and jumbo drills. We expect this will significantly enhance underground safety and greatly accelerate our preparations for commercial production."
