Captive Cut and Fill
with Alimak Access
• Access to the ore-body is from a footwall lateral to a cross-cut,and then driving an Alimak raise from level to level for access to mining slopes.
• Horizontal slices are mined using jackleg drills and blasting. Ore is transferred to an ore pass using a slusher bucket and tugger.
• following completion of the first lift, access to the next level is from the top of the raise.
