Gwalia: Record production driven by productivity gains

8% year on year improvement, 3 key innovations
Ore passes Allows bogger to work constantly, independent of ore trucks, removes ore from fired stopes more rapidly, allowing pastefilling and adjacent stopes to be fired earlier

Continuous Remote Tele-bogging (CY16) At critical times bogger operates 24 hours a day

Underground Storage At critical times shorter waste removal turnaround time gives greater availability of trucks for taking ore to surface
