Minerjoe,

Interesting facts and figures.

I just don't think MCO are thinking about any further shaft sinking. They will need to just enlarge an existing adit at some stage to accommadate larger tonnages. They can follow the existing adit while mining remnant age of progress reef to a predetermined spot where they will have to plunge it down to a 1/7 gardient to get down to most probably Dickinsons zone area. Along the way they can pick up some presently unknown reefs in the upper gap zone. This area will probably be an area of intense drilling in the near future because it has only a few drill holes in it.

As far as the present mining is concerned, they have all the infrastructure in place in at least 2 levels. They have rail, mechanical boggers,a chute fitted above 3/4 ton kibbles so its a matter of pushing the kibbles into the hoist,to unload and send the empty kibble down again. Once the guys get the hang of it I can see that Robs figures are probably spot on.
