Increased grade and productivity
----- End of picture text -----

  • Majority of Gwalia ore in FY12 to be sourced from higher grade South West Branch

  • Improved mining method – “Dual Lift Stoping”

  • North & South access on two dual lift levels 4 areas gives mining

  • (minimum 3)

  • 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

  • Improved mine development plan allows for later access to Main Lode, South Gwalia Series and West Lode
