Mining activities will include drilling and blasting, removal of waste rock to a new WRE, removal of ore to the
ROM pad, de-watering of the void and monitoring of geotechnical conditions. Ore material will be crushed and
temporarily stockpiled at the proposed ROM/ Crusher pad. Mining operations will be conducted by suitably
qualified mining contractors.
Waste material from the mine will be classified as Non Acid Forming (NAF), or Potentially Acid Forming (PAF).
NAF and PAF waste material will be stored east of the pit and retained for future site rehabilitation at a
proposed Waste Rock Emplacement (propped WRE).
Ore stockpile material at GEM will be crushed and temporarily stockpiled on a proposed Crusher/ROM pad.
Crushing will occur from Monday to Saturday on a 12 hours per day campaign basis. In addition, the Proponent
proposes to treat up to 20,000 tonnes of existing stockpiles and tailings.
Crushed ore material will be hauled via Heemskirk Road to GPP in 25 tonne batches as required. Crushed
material will be temporarily stockpiled at the GPP prior to undergoing processing.
Crushed ore will be initially screened (trommel) and treated through a jig, relying on specific gravity to separate
the lighter waste or rejects from the heavier pre concentrate. Heavier minerals, including cassiterite, magnetite
and sulphides will principally report to the pre-concentrate which will be delivered from the gravity concentrator
to the dressing plant.

So all that will commence immediately after the break.
