16.5 M INE D EVELOPMENT S EQUENCES<br />

Mining activities will be divided into five phases; each phase, or pushback,<br />

represents certain periods of mine life and satisfies all the mine design criteria.<br />

Figure 16.5 represents the spatial relationship between the five phases. These<br />

pushbacks are related to the end of Years 3, 11, 20, 29, and 37. Detailed pit designs<br />

for the starter pit and subsequent pushbacks were not <strong>com</strong>pleted for this level of<br />

study.<br />

Mining activities will include a sequence of pushbacks, or phases, to meet the<br />

following objectives:<br />

• enable the mining of high-grade material as early as possible<br />

• effectively reduce stripping ratio in the initial mining stage<br />

• balance the stripping ratio over the period of the mine life.<br />
