Hi Sam,

My understanding of this type of mining is that it's great to get high volume and is quite cheap per tonne. In most cases production can be scaled up relatively quick, the downside is if the vein pinch's and swells a lot and the grades are very inconsistent then it's almost impossible to predict dilution unless the vein is wide

Do you recall the distance between the sub-levels? also any information on average width and grade of the actual vein would be useful along with whether the vein was friable and if over blast was an issue.

If anyone has seen any literature on this from WPG it would be great to have access to it so please let me know
