PHASE V<br />

During Phase V, the pit will expand to the east and south; the remaining mineralized<br />

material inside the base case pit will be mined to achieve the final highwall. Phase V<br />

will involve mining 97.9 Mt of mineralized material. Phase V corresponds to Pit Shell<br />

26 and the end of the LOM.<br />

16.5.1 IN-PIT ROAD WIDTH<br />

In-pit ramps were designed with an overall ramp width of 35 m, and a maximum<br />

gradient of 10%. A safety berm and an internal water ditch will be provided for two<br />

lane traffic to ac<strong>com</strong>modate 225 t haul trucks.<br />

16.5.2 PIT WATER HANDLING<br />

The progressive development of the open pit will result in increasing water infiltration<br />

from precipitation and groundwater inflows. As the pit deepens and increases in<br />

footprint, it will be necessary to control water inflow through the construction of in-pit<br />

dewatering systems such as drainage ditches, sumps, pipelines and pumps.<br />

16.5.3 WASTE ROCK DISPOSAL<br />

Waste rock stockpile locations will be established at the east side and the south side<br />

of the final pit boundary.These locations will be further evaluated in the next level of<br />

study, with further discussion on terrain, geotechnical, environmental, etc. aspects.<br />
