Mechanized Raising

Aug 2, 2013

San Gold Inc. - Rice Lake Mine & Hinge Zone

The Rice Lake project is an example of the diversity of services that Cementation can provide on a mine development project. Work carried out includes mechanized raising, raise boring, mine development of both lateral and ramp excavations, mine construction, and support engineering. The project is an example of safe execution of the work as well as very good performance.

 

 

Xstrata Zinc - Brunswick Mine

Aurora Quarrying had a significant presence at Xstrata Zinc's Brunswick Mine for many years. With the acquisition of Aurora in 2002, the Cementation group continued to carry out mine development and mine rehabilitation work; including, decline and level development, longhole drilling for ground support, and construction. Excavation through backfilled stopes required diligent ground conditioning practices. Much of the environment was subject to hot working conditions due to high sulphide concentrations.
