Summary:
Three major mineralisation styles are present: auriferous, pyrite-rich greisenous zones such as those at Dargues Reef, Exeter Farm and Scotsmans Gully; gold–base metal-rich veins/lodes, including those adjacent to the Majors Creek village; and those deposits which have both greisen- and vein-type mineralisation, including those in the Snobs mine area, which takes in Snobs Reef (Snobs Lode–Stewart & Mertons–United Miners zone) and The Creek prospect.
Mining Methods
- Longhole stoping
- Dry waste backfill
- Hydraulic backfill
Summary:
Ore is mined using conventional bottom-up longhole stoping and trucked from the underground mine to a surface stockpile adjacent to the process plant. Stope voids are backfilled with cemented hydraulic fill or waste rock. Mine access is via a boxcut and decline from the surface.
