| On the northeast side of the stope a small drift continued in a northeast direction. |
|
| A nerve testing traverse across a ninety foot deep stope on wooden stemples gets the adrenalin pumping, especially when trying to balance on one whilst taking photos! |
|
| At 20 fathoms the winze came out into the side of a large stope which was curved so that despite being on the footwall there was a grave danger of sliding over the edge. |
|
| Retreat mining is carried out in all areas, so each stope is mucked from one draw point oriented along strike. |
|
| The occurrence is in coarsely brecciated dolomite at the margin of a previously mined-out area in pillars and on the walls of a stope where the early work had ended. |
|
| At Kiena, exploration and development work was focused on definition drilling and stope development. |
|
| Nothing of interest was found, so we decided to check the short drift that was driven from No.2 shaft and was exposed from a stope that was mined to the surface. |
|
| As well, the old power substation will be dismantled and removed from site, and an open stope underneath the B208 arsenic chamber will be backfilled to provide stability to the bulkheads. |
|
| The agreement is for a first stope of 100 metres in length that will be extracted and this in order for the client to evaluate the results and make a decision on going forward with the thermal fragmentation mining method. |
|
| The surface expression of an underground mine typically include shafts, raises, stope surface openings, portals, adits, declines and in some cases, subsidence or other surface disturbances. |
|
| This drilling was done to evaluate the potential of mining Zone 97 Main and Zone 97 North, a parallel vein structure, at one time within one stope. |
|
| The Raglan Em ployment and Training Tec hnical Committee's training program s in underground work for Inuit, including its stope school, op ened a whole new area of potential employm ent for Inuit. |
|
| The development will increase the output of Birchtree to partially offset the declining production from the mature Thompson mine where grades and stope sizes are declining. |
|
| In another instance, tracer gas showed that an open stope intake system could considerably lengthen the time it takes the gas to reach the intake to any level. |
|
| To prevent the release of arsenic into the groundwater around the mine, the Remediation Plan calls for the arsenic trioxide dust and the rock around each chamber and stope to be completely frozen. |
|
| Initial mining started in a previously developed oxide ore stope in the Ogee zone. |
|
| The presence of faults and joint structures in stope walls within the ore body has resulted in overbreak of ore into adjacent stopes. |
|
| The majority of the deficit occurred in July as seismic events in a primary mining stope caused a loss of 10 days of production in that stope. |
|
| Ore production from this stope has commenced and will accelerate in the month of September. |
|
| Where the length of a sublevel is approximately 70 metres from its extremity to the central access cross cut, it is divided into two stopes, with the second stope mined after backfilling the first stope. |
|
|
|
| The principal supported-stoping method, practiced on steeply dipping ore bodies, is cut-and-fill mining, in which the opened stope is back-filled with waste materials as each layer of ore is removed. |
|
| This consisted in wheeling gob back to the most distant part of the stope and filling up the sets right up to the roof. |
|
| The stope is kept full of broken ore, sufficient only being drawn to leave a working space between the floor of broken ore and the back of the stope. |
|
| The company, which has stockpiled 11,600 tonnes of mineralized material, said it will keep stockpiling as stope development accelerates and mining begins. |
