Mining methods
Original design• Twin decline shaft systems
– Vehicle access decline– Belt decline
• Main strike development on-reef• Conventional down-dip stoping• Twin raises separated by 5m pillar• 90 cm stoping width• Mechanised development and tramming• Flat management / supervisory structures• Self directed, multi-skilled work teams• No night shift, two panel cycle• Continuous operations (Conops)• Fully autogenous milling • 200 ktpm, 162 kozpa• Onverwacht Hill and Mid Shaft areas included
Changes to original design
• Chairlift decline access• Main strike development in the footwall• Stoping changed from down-dip to breast• 102 cm stoping width• Introduced night shift• Traditional management structure• Ball milling to increase capacity• 240 ktpm, 162 kozpa

Key business issues• Improved safety performance
• Achieve planned volume increase
• Smooth transition from down dip to breast stoping and moving drives into footwall
• Further improve efficiency of the mechanised development and tramming
• Improve efficiencies of stoping teams
• Major transition commenced, complete in 2006
