Mine construction mode ACTIVATED!

Talisman Deeps project in the lower levels appears to be a permitted activity.

Great work by NTL in hitting two birds with one stone and getting bulk sampling construction AND Talisman Deeps work underway at the same time.

This is really exciting stuff:

Many of the activities are core to safe operations at the site and therefore will not have to be duplicated upon commencement of bulk sampling under the resource consent.The works being undertaken at site include: -

? Perimeter fencing - erection of safety and security fencing around theportal site;
? Construction of the portal pad and associated structures;
? Ventilation fan - installation of a new ventilation fan at the entrance tothe mine;
? Installation of a Generator and Air compressor;
? Installation of reticulation services through the underground workings;
? Removal of old beams and replacement of underground structures;
? Sampling and Drilling at Mystery and other targeted areas.;
? Establishment of site office and security office;
? Road use and maintenance - to enable safe and efficient transport ofprospecting vehicles; and
? Vegetation management - trimming and weed control as necessary within thesite and within the existing footprint of the mine road.
