Jabal Sayid is located 350km north-east of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. In March 2015, Byrnecut was awarded the complete underground scope of works, including development and production for Jabal Sayid.
Byrnecut were initially involved in dewatering, rehabilitation of old abandoned workings, and mining operations from 2010 to 2014, prior to the recommencement of the current operations.
Byrnecut’s scope of works includes decline, vertical and lateral development, paste-fill, production drilling, blasting, and haulage. Using large-scale longhole open stoping methods, with a combination of cemented rock fill and paste fill, the project aims to extract approximately 3 million tonnes of ore per year.
Mining activities are undertaken by a multinational workforce of Saudi, West African, Australian and Indonesian personnel. Byrnecut’s safety and training systems are tailored to meet the varying cultural and employment requirements of this project.
