Note: Single lift Hanging Wall Span typically 32m (HR=6.15)

Mining method

  • Long hole stoping with fill
  • North & South access on

two dual lift levels gives 4 mining areas

  • Greater percentage of free

bogging increases productivity of each stope

  • Sill drives fully in ore –

reduces development dilution

  • Production drilling parallel

to hanging-wall to reduce blast induced dilution

Stope Cycles targeting higher production

Stope Cycle Time – 6 months per stope

  • ‘Bogging’ (extracting ore from the stope) represents just under 50% of stope cycle time
  • Filling and curing around 30% of stope cycle time
  • Adjacent stopes (beside, above, below) cannot be developed until curing complete
  • The maximum numbers of stopes ‘in cycle’ is four (on three levels)
  • Approximately 2 stopes ‘in production’ (blasting and bogging) at all times means overall

production rate influenced by draw-point productivity (which is current focus of business improvement activity)

  • Mining commences on a new level (approx. 40 metres depth) approx. each 12 months
  • Commence with ‘centre slot’ on new level

Historical stopes (light blue) Q4 FY15 Stopes (red) Q3 FY15 Stopes (dark blue) ‘Centre out’ – extract centre stope of lode first, then move out to edge of lode

Objective: Maximise production, constrained by: 1) Waiting for adjacent/above stope’s paste fill to dry 2) Geotech considerations – not too many

  • pen stopes too close together

= ‘Centre out’ method
