SDSTA ACCOMPLISHMENTS

REHABILITATION OF SHAFTS & HOISTS

• Ross Shaft rehabilitated to water level. ($9.2 million)

• Ross Hoist re-certified and operating.

• Yates Shaft rehabilitation in process. ($9 million bid awarded)

• Yates Hoist is re-certified and operating.

• Utilities (power, fiber, etc.) are being installed


Ross Shaft,cage side:13 feet x 6 feet



DEWATERING THE MINE

Current water level is 4724 feet below the surface (2/3/09), down from a high water mark in August 2008 of 4,529 feet.

Pumping capacity from the mine is 1500 gpm.

Water Treatment capacity is 2000 gpm.

Pumping approx. 2 million gallons per day.

Removing 670 pounds of Iron per day.


Spring snow and rain increases flow.

SDSTA GOALS

Why 4850 L access moved from fall 2008 tospring 2009:

•Pumps shut off in early 2003•Down-select July 2007•Extreme snow and rainfall 2008•Contract scope slowed entry•Pumps restarted May 2008•Pretreatment required for Iron

Average inflow approximately700 gpm
