HERBET Abel Sep 25, 2015:
Load-and-haul is carried out by 140 tonne dump trucks and 150 to 250 tonne excavators in backhoe and/or face shovel configuration. Mining benches vary from five to 10 metres, and are excavated in five passes (flitches) of about 2.5 metres per flitch. Gold mineralisation is mined selectively to cut-off grades, and segregated into grade ranges to balance the ore production and processing capacities on-site and maximise cash flow from operations.
