Labyrinth Resources needed power for a 5-month gold mining exploration project. Due to the remote location, there was no grid power available. However, as this was only an exploratory phase it was a temporary operation and it wasn’t worth investing in building power lines to the site without knowing if it would be a long-term project. The rising cost of diesel meant they needed an alternative, lower cost power source that could be easily set up. Temperatures in the region get as low as -30° C so any solution had to be able to cope with that.
