Assignment Help:
Design a detailed surface mine excavation plan.
Detail development requirements.
Detail Production requirements including a full description of the method selected.
Number of production units required/rate of production/other scheduling.
Describe loading/haulage requirements
Equipment
Processing
Personnel
Safety
Briefly describe power & drainage requirements
As well as any other salient points as required by the mining system, for economic analysis use current market prices in A$ for the commodity as required. Accurate costing is not an essential aspect to the project but some notional economic modelling is required to illustrate the viability of the method detailed.
State and justify all assumptions.
Gold-silver mineralisation in the deposit is hosted by an epithermal quartz vein system, which developed in a sequence of hydrothermally altered quartz-bearing andesite’s of Miocene age. Gold occurs as electrum (a gold-silver alloy) and is generally very fine grained. The steeply dipping vein system extends over 1,600 metres of strike length. Pervasive oxidation centred on the larger veins extends to a depth of about 200 metres.
This ore resource has been estimated to be approximately 11.25 million tonnes at 3.3 grams per tonne gold and 26 grams per tonne silver; equivalent to approximately 1,200,000 ounces of gold and 9.6 million ounces of silver.
The final pit will have approximate dimensions of 860 metres long by 600 metres wide at the original surface by 250 metres deep. The original surface has a fairly flat topography with minimal cover of topsoil and subsoil (10m or less). Typically, the waste rock consists of a thick sequence of volcanic lavas, breccia’s and tuff’s of generally andesitic composition as such geomechanically these are classed as reasonably competent rocks.
Ore is delivered to the processing plant; the processing plant has a planned output of up to a maximum of 1.25 million tonnes per annum.
The climate of the area is similar to that of Ballarat.
