We spend a lot of time swinging the banjo, and only yesterday had to put in a new winze, following damage to our trenches from Beachy Bill. |
|
The company has decided to replace the old shaft and winze with a new 7,500-foot single lift. |
|
He was not prepared to get his feet wet and didn't like the dark, so he told us to sort it out and dump it down a flooded winze. |
|
He would not climb down the winze from Cross Roads Adit but climbed up the same winze when coming from Taylor's Shaft. |
|
Completed the detailed design of a new winze at the Grasberg complex, to be used for high-capacity muck haulage. |
|
Another winze disclosed pockets of gold mineralization, but no mining was done in the area because of fractured and altered ground and an influx of water. |
|
A 200 foot winze, i.e. an internal shaft, was established from the 500 ft. to the 700 ft. level with sub levels at 550, 600 and 700 ft. |
|
In March 2004, Dumas provided consulting and engineering services for the shaft design used to construct the winze. |
|
Concurrent to the winze project, was the excavation of three stations and its respective forty meters of lateral development. |
|
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. |
|
The completion of the first phase of an internal winze has allowed deeper access to the high-grade ore to depths below 1,000 metres. |
|
It was never completed to its planned depth, which resulted in the bottom of the deposit being mined through an internal winze. |
|
Area mine workings dating from 1915 include adits, a raise, a winze, trenches and an inclined shaft. |
|
The vein was further developed from the second level with an inclined winze 30 m deep. |
|
An attempt was made to sink a winze to mine the lode below creek level, but this was unsuccessful due to water issues. |
|
Two months later we began the winze project by excavating an internal 4.3 m by 2.1 m rectangular shaft from the 1,180 meter level up to the 655 meter level with a mechanized raise climber. |
|
Awarded in October 2007, Dumas began the Penna Winze Project to sink an 820 meter circular concrete winze, starting at 2,060 meters below surface. |
|
An approximately 710 foot deep internal winze was also sunk to access four additional lower levels of the Virginius Vein and would require rehabilitation for use. |
