10A final location to proceed – Handuk mine

z For 2018 Winter Olympic, construction of a high-speed train between airport to east has started.

z ~ 3 hour from Incheon airport to Handuk mine.

~ 1.5 hr

After extensive study, we finally decided to build a new underground lab at an active iron mine, Handuk.

Life Cycle Phases

- Process implemented Fall 2015; aligns with DOE and TRIUMF

- Each phase leads to a GateWay, prior to passing to next phase - SNOLAB Projects Office supports projects through the process; all

projects have a project coordinator assigned

- Expressions of Interest accepted at any time, natural EAC biannual cycle

Alignment with Other Processes

- The SNOLAB Life cycle aligns with other institution and agency processes including the US Department of Energy, TRIUMF, CFI.

- A key difference is that many other processes end at the beginning of operation of the Project while the SNOLAB process continues through decommissioning.

NigelJ.T.Smith SNOLABAnnualUsersMee9ng 1stSeptember,2016

Infrastructure Costs

- As initial SNOLAB infrastructure ages, several components require replacement or upgrading to sustain anticipated programme

- Major request to continue improvements to the power reliability and distribution at SNOLAB

- Generator plant under construction - Vale now required to undertake routine cleaning of electrical switches

on power feeds underground - SNOLAB looking to provide redundancy on power feeds

Power distribution- Vale providing two power feeds

underground (#11 and #18) which power production systems

- SNOLAB implementing switch-over capability to provide some redundancy

- Risk introduced due to production needs, and switch cleaning on upper levels

- Looking to provide dedicated line to SNOLAB

- Cost estimate of dedicated power feed is based on no lost production to Vale (~$2M/day) during installation.

- Possible timeframe changes, likely 2021/22, depending on vale requirements. In discussion with Vale on potential
