Full Scale Development at Kidd Mine: Xstrata Copper

Commodity: Copper (Cu)

Aug 7, 2013
Dumas has a long-standing relationship with the Kidd Mine. Since 2002, Dumas has been excavating 5,000 meters per year from multiple lateral development headings, and over 1,000 meters per year of raise work.
 
The Dumas construction crews have accomplished many refuge stations, bin rehabilitation, manways and miscellaneous construction work at the bottom of the mine.
 
Currently at 9,600 feet below surface, Dumas works continuously to drive one of the deepest ramps in the world. Six raise crews also work around the clock to excavate raises of six meters in diameter by “pilot and slash” method, using long hole drills.
 
Extreme heat and humidity at the bottom of the mine creates a challenging working environment for all workforces. Dumas continues to overcome these challenges by strict health and safety regimes and practices which have led to almost 2 million manhours worked, or 5.6 years with no lost time injuries.
