Gold CIP and CIL LeachingAshanti Gold Belt, Ghana
Securing Continuous Reagent Supply for Tier-1 Gold Operations
Result: Uninterrupted mill operation over 24 months through dedicated buffer inventory.
01 · Operational Challenge
Supply Bottlenecks & Exposure
The mine faced shipping volatility, container demurrage penalties, and overseas supply disruptions for solid sodium cyanide and activated carbon from traditional trading brokers.
02 · Logistics Integration
Direct Sourcing & Bonded Buffer Staging
Zabion established a direct supply framework from primary chemical synthesis plants to site, placing a 45-day buffer stock at regional bonded staging facilities and maintaining road dispatch within 48 hours of site requisition.
03 · Operational Outcome
Production Impact
Eliminated port demurrage charges, prevented mill downtime during international freight disruptions, and met all statutory hazardous material and local content compliance mandates.
"Zabion established predictable reagent deliveries by holding accessible buffer inventory rather than leaving essential reagents on the water."
