Hi Aceminer
The Ann stated materials for shutdown delivery/execution were hampered by weather events. You say you have worked in a mine before so you should know that all shutdowns are structured and scheduled around the mill reline. This shows to me that the trucks transporting the mill lifters was delayed and also probably the mills balls. You should know that a pallet of lifters weighs in the multiple tonnes and there are many pallets required to carry out a mill reline apart from the hydraulic equip brought in by the mill reliners (quite often coming in from the eastern states or in Panoramic's case maybe Darwin). Then the mill balls of which a mill of that size would use between 3-5 tonnes a day during operation.
Only one helicopter in Australia is capable of transporting that weight , distance and the many trips that it would take is the Chinook in the Royal Australian Air Force. I think it would be pretty hard to even try to rent when it is a military piece of equipment that is involved at the time of resupplying flood affected areas in the NT and WA and transporting said communities of people to safe areas. If you recall this weather event flooded the entire Kimberly area took out the main road link and bridge of the Fitzroy River as well as flooding the NT.

rubbish...took me 10 sec google search to find these 2 guys...is a ten tonne lift not good enough for yah!...and to be clear quoting labour access because of rain event is BS....people don't require heavy lift helos. Victor cost us a fortune last quarter by just not being innovative and competent. The mine is not being run correctly, evidenced by not knowing vent raise blocked in advance of mining...amateur hour really.
