Open-pit mining is highly diesel-intensive, with hauling activities accounting for 35%–50% of total site carbon emissions and up to 22% of total operating costs. Fuel consumption is driven by heavy-duty haul trucks, particularly as pits deepen. Key reduction strategies include trolley assist systems (saving ~300-350L/hour) and transitioning to electric or battery-powered fleets.

Key Diesel Usage Factors in Open Pit Mining

Haulage Dominance: The majority of diesel in open-pit mines is consumed by large trucks transporting waste and ore, often accounting for 50%–60% of total operating costs, particularly in deep pits.

High Consumption Rates: Mine trucks can have high unit fuel consumption, often measured in

or liters per hour, which increases significantly with higher lifting heights and longer haul distances.

Operational Intensity: Large-scale operations involve continuous 24/7 hauling, where a single large hybrid truck can consume massive quantities of fuel over its 6,000+ operational hours per

Factors Affecting Fuel Efficiency

Haul Distance & Depth: As mines go deeper, fuel consumption increases due to the energy required for uphill hauling, increasing the importance of optimizing truck payloads and road quality.

Operator Performance: Studies suggest that upskilling a small percentage of operators (e.g., 20%) can lead to a majority (80%) of potential fuel-saving opportunities.

Maintenance & Technology: Poorly maintained haul roads, improper tire pressure, and outdated equipment drastically increase diesel consumption.

Diesel Reduction Strategies

Trolley Assist Systems: Implementing overhead wires on steep ramps allows trucks to use electricity for uphill hauling, significantly reducing diesel consumption—sometimes by as much as 350 liters an hour—and increasing speed.

Alternative Fuels & Power: Shifting to renewable diesel, biodiesel, or introducing battery-electric trucks can significantly lower Scope 1 emissions.

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC): Replacing truck haulage with conveyor systems eliminates the need for diesel in hauling.

Operational Technology: Using AI, machine learning, and digital twins to optimize truck routing, reduce idling times, and improve fuel efficiency.

Seems once again no-one wants to talk kefi

Some would rather talk about who started talking about the war a couple of months ago , which i kinda feel is a little odd , it was hardly a kefi forum only gig. Multiple news agency's around the world was reporting on it , And the pm of Ethiopia himself also had to come out and say he doesn't intend on going to war at this time , so hardly irrelevant

He pretty positive he didnt come lit and say it for the benifit of the kefi lse forum who he was concerned was starting rumors.

The issue some of the kefi forum police had , was that it was a conversation they didnt want to happen.

Its a shame rob still doesn't post, he would be more relevant posting about kefi as a potential investor than some of the junk posted by actual kefi investors

This moniker that you should only post here if invested is again from the kefi forum police. Many on the missing list that all popped out at once today , funny that!!!

As you were chaps

The 3rd march 2026 presentation still had 10m quids worth of kefi shares to be paid out over the next 2 years.

Has the latest raise mitigated that , if so won't leave much working capital , if not does that mean theres potentially at least 10m quids worth of further dillution in the next 2 years

2nd question , I have been suggesting I believe that the mre due in june for the Umm Hijlan/ Mamilah project could be a catalyst dependant on the results , the mre on the website for this will be done by june 2026 and will incorporate extensive RC drilling results , yet its not mentioned on the presentation in march , obviously a new presentation is gonna be released , but does suggest it MIGHT be later then planned

@stephenx do you think the upcoming mre could have a impact on volume of trades here

I always felt such news can create a it of a buzz

Issue is , kefi only own 13% in saudi so would have to be pretty decent to make a difference.

Where are all those long term ultra bullish traders , whoops sorry I mean long term kefi holders gone , all here forbthe very long term, here for divis and priduction with price targets of 30p plus , all of a sudden gone

Hubstar seems to have moved on too his new trade in tower resources , the complete nutter that reckons he had a 250 page dossier on me pmsl . Reckons high level meetings with newmont took place and constantly spouting rampy clues and riddles from harry.

Stebo , over 200 messages most months , another ultra rampy individual, argued with his own shadow if it wasnt agreeing with his ridiculous short term price targets, another gone completly missing

Crazytowner , good old tim , his posts always always ended on a ramp. Takeover talk , l2 shows a move up imminently and the main event of finance will lead to generational wealth , MISSING

Alanos , aka as Alan osbourne , loved to quote a TW ramp , loved talking biys vs sells , MISSING

KEFIGOLD what a nutter , mr tick tock himself. 100s of failed timelines , talked of being a long term holder , and oved talking volume , has now deleted his account and likley sold up.

Sharezy , a notable poster who has argued WITH ANYONE and everyone , removed and added kefii to his watch list numerous times , subscribes to L2 and has since made his watch list PRIVATE. Has started to conpletly drop off

SIMMS another completley dropped off , ramping daily to now ramping every now and then , will soon disappear like the rest

deedee1 , mr I know whats happining to gold. Watch this fly on sign off , again I ask , where is this ramper who like the rest lived in a echo chamber.

Bear666 , used to love talking about me ,ultra bullish and again disappeared

Eric already removed kefi from his watch list, lived to talk l2

Shortarm , still posting very little but without all his buddies , now has no crowd to play too, still likes to talk posters rather then kefi

THE POLICE ARE GONNA BE BISY TRYING TO FIND THOS LOT , I warned this forum many times over these idiots and as warned it doesn't surprise ne in the slightest they have all disapeared at once , theres a few more too

And I was the problem here pmsl

@danners

Raising money with NO dillution , How do you work that out?

Im presuming your talking the banks etc , do you think thet are doing it for nothing?

Dv considering the messages written here recently before kefi also done a heavily discounted raise that could be seen as pot kettle black

The kefi forum is the last place id be calling out other posters all things considered

Hi @emcauslan

News before june is of course guarenteed , and as you say , harry will need to be ultra bullish at the presentstion just to get shareholders back onside.

Im not sure any of that will move the s.p much especially with such an overhang.

I do feel the mre due in june might perk a bit of intrest dependant on whats published of course.

You @dickie3times

You never answered how I was misleading investors

Although this was coming from the poster that one day said he doesn't filter people , and then the next said his filter was so full he had to empty them and start all over!!!

You also spent a day trying to get investors to tell you why you should invest big in ukog instead of doing your own research , I mean who invests big on the advice of posters on a forum

Maybe your more bonkers then me

I am intrested how I misled investors though with my june comment

Angus i think that the placing news is a formality

Market has priced it in and will also be voted in ,whats the alternative now?

Maybe a couple of peices of news beforehand around construction . But next event for me that could be price moving could be june with anticipated news flow from saudi.

With 13% though , who knows , might just be another reminder of look what you could of won

Kefi gold deleted his account and likley sold up

Crazytowner and sebo , over 200 posts a month every month all but disapeared for the time being , the abuse those 2 gave because there thoughts were challenged was madness.

Even the less subtle rampers are gone

Funny I saw some filter lists which I had a giggle at , @MF2017 for instance wrote he doesn't mind negativity , just wants to delete the noise , his filter list didnt have a single ramper on it lol

Some want the ultra positive echo chamber , unfortunately on AIM if you only surround yourself by that ultra positive noise , you will create unnecessary expectations and normally lose money.

Why am I misleading investors with my claim that I believe the next significant news will be June

Its not a random guess is it

Of course news could come before , I just dont see it as significant as the news due in june

Well with luck the kefi shareholder should get some decent saudi news in June providing all well and good.

That's when I believe the next potentially significant news comes from anyway . I did say potentially.

@Crisu

He doesn't, simms can believe theres more in the area and there might well be , however that can only be proven with the drill bit. He migjt say this is 10p plus in 18 months, id also add he was saying that 18 months ago

If simms didnt want harry to prove up tula kapi then why not the surrounding areas , proven exploration is only a good thing for explorers , and harry has had more then enough money to achieve that.

If someone said in 2019 . Let's spend all raised money on a finamce deal that will conclude in 2026 and will cost over 100m with ZERO exploration , and the exploration conducted in saudi will result in further dillution of the projects, I doubt many posters other then simms would agree it would be a good idea.

@Crisu

Hi , for me harry won't know there is no more gold at tula kapi , id suggest the evidence given its still open at depth is that there is more.

How much , and the amount thats economically viable is debatable

Your 2nd point about the priority being finance cant be argued with, its ALL is concentrated on forbthe last decade at the detriment of the buisness in my opinion

The failure to continue to explore leading to increased value for shareholders instead of dillution has been a huge own goal in my opinion.

Even now Harry says The portion of the fundraising available for exploration is small at this stage, and conditional upon not being needed for development.

ie very little planned.

Tomorrow morning ggp will release 2 rns confirming huge increases to telfer that when including havieron you now have just under 15 million oz of gold and 645kt of copper

You can then add a 70mt tungsten deposit which is one of the highest tungsten deposits in the world.

This isnt a ggp forum , even though threads were weirdly started about me owning ggp

What it does highlight, and one i continue to get a lot of stick for , is that EXPLORATION COMPANYS NEED TO INVEST IN THE DRILL BIT.

harry hasn't done that for years at tula kapi. And I just dont understand why.

If he had with the millions raised over the years. And PROVED what tula kapi can produce, the s.p would be sat a lot higher today with less dillution and finance sorted ages ago.

Who knows what happens to ggp tomorrow , knowing ggp it will go down , its not a share ramp , just to highlight why i will continue to believe harry should of carried on exploring and building up tula kapi.

Seems no-one really has a answer to my question , to be fair hardly surprising given the lack of information out there.

Seems some would rather talk whos on their filter list lol

Anyway ........... there could be absolutely no connection at all , if there is and there has been 265m sar put by for exploration , kefis part would be 5m plus. They have cash i guess.

As I said though , might be just a ARTAR and ajlan project

Towards the end of January 2026 , kefi put out a rns to say " At the conference "Future Minerals Forum" in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last week, GMCO (13%-owned by KEFI) advertised that it is working with Saudi conglomerate AJ Lan Group on a proposed exploration JV on an area outside the boundaries of GMCO's existing portfolio. Details will be reported when the proposed joint venture is confirmed and formalised".

Looking at ajlan website , as one of ots projects it mentions

6- Al Rashed Joint Venture

The Wurshah gold project is a joint venture between Ajlan & Bros Mining and Al Eitilaf Al Momayaz, part of the Artar Group of Companies. The project features extensive drilling completed by a previous operator and is expected to offer an opportunity for rapid development of a new gold mine, subject to results. A work program of SAR 265 million is planned to be invested by the joint venture, aimed at advancing the project toward rapid production.

My question , is this an arrangement that was already in play prior to kefi announcement, and the 2 already had a working relationship , or is this completly new?

Ahhhhhhh accusations but no back up

Tell me my b.s of filter me

Then FILTER ME

for the benifit of the forum and your mental wellbeing ,

FILTER FILTER FILTER

I disappear instantly
