HI-EMD recently signed a Contract with Sycamore Mine Guinea SAU for the supply of eight HiMSEN Gensets (9H32/40 x 8 sets) for a mine in Guinea.

  Robex Gold, parent company of Sycamore Mine Guinea SAU, is currently implementing the Kiniero Gold Project to develop and expand mines in Guinea.  Guinea , officially the Republic of Guinea is a coastal country in West Africa. It borders the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Guinea-Bissau to the northwest, Senegal to the north, Mali to the northeast, Côte d'Ivoire to the southeast, and Sierra Leone and Liberia to the south.

HHI-EMD has signed a contract to supply eight sets of 4MW class gensets to supply stable electricity in the mine region. The gensets are scheduled to be shipped in three installments beginning in May 2025.

 Having a strong track record of supplying captive gensets for mines to various parts of the world, including Central & South America, Africa and Asia, HHI-EMD plans to further expand the supply of power generation equipment to off-grid mining regions.

The mining industry of Guinea focusses on iron, gold, diamond, and bauxite.  Robex currently owns two assets in the highly prospective Birimian Greenstone belt: the Nampala producing gold mine in Mali, and the Kiniero Gold Project in Guinea (Conakry).  Robex is also active in exploration with drilling campaigns underway across its West African properties.

  The Company intends to become a multi-mine, multi-jurisdiction gold producer in West Africa once the Kiniero Gold Project would be in production. Robex’s ambition is to continue to grow its asset base while committed to operating assets in an efficient, safe, responsible, and sustainable way.

The Kiniero gold mine produced a total of 418,000 ounces of gold over a 12-year span.  The mine was placed on care and maintenance in early 2014 and was awarded to Sycamore in 2019.  Sycamore has invested $25 million in the project to drill the property to a definitive feasibility level for restarting the operation. Through a business combination, Robex took over the project in 2022, and now plans to restart the mine with a new processing plant. The existing mining infrastructure will be refurbished and expanded with minimal additional infrastructure required.

  Robex has also commenced an extensive drilling program on the numerous deposits identified to increase the resource base and extend the mine life at Kiniero primarily by increasing drilling density at depth and along the known lateral extensions. Following completion of the first phase of Mineral Resource delineation drilling at the Mansounia deposit and recent drill spacing study, Robex reported a significant increase by 52% in its inferred resources base in December 2023 (Mineral Resource Estimate). Mansounia adds 896koz of inferred.

    Hyundai's HiMSEN 9H32/40 family offers a simple and smart design suitable for reliable  power generation applications with high reliability and performance.  The key features are:

-  Heavy Fuel Engine with same fuel of main engine (Uni-Fuel concept).  Hence, the diesel fuel and heavy fuel oil of the viscosity of upto 700 cSt at 50°C is acceptable.

- Economical and Ecological Engine with low fuel consumption, NOx emission, and Smoke, etc. , which is based on the following specific designs;

•Optimised Supercharging with Miller Cycle  

•High Fuel Injection Pressure

• Reliable and Practical Engine with simple, smart and robust structure.

•Number of engine components are minimised with Pipe-Free design

•Most of the components are directly accessible for easier maintenance

•'Individual Part' maintenance concept is provided

• Feed System is fully modularised with direct accessibility.
