Advanced Undercutting System Average column height >450m Caving Initiated in year 2018
- Caving @ hydraulic radius = 33 8 drawbells per month maximum opening rate
- 4 per month in one cave front (2,400 m2)- 6 per month when only one cave front available
0.28m (11”) per day maximum draw rates Initiate undercutting in two production blocks
- “Crinkle-cut” style undercutting- Accelerate production ramp-up- Maximize early metal production
GBC Feasibility - Caving
