BLASTING REQUIREMENT<br />

Overall explosive consumption was based on using a 70% ammonium nitrate fuel oil<br />

(ANFO) and 30% emulsion mix product. Some blasting parameters are shown in<br />

Table 4. Drillhole liners are to be used in wet holes where practical.<br />

The selected explosive supplier is to erect a plant and storage facility on site. Under<br />

the supervision of the drill/blast foreman, the supplier will be contracted to supply,<br />

deliver, and load explosives into the blastholes. The drill/blast foreman will also<br />

oversee the blasting crew who will prime, stem, and tie-in blastholes.<br />

1.3.3 LOADING AND HAULING<br />

LOADING FLEET<br />

The loading fleet will consist of 21 m 3 diesel hydraulic shovels and a 18 m 3 diesel<br />

hydraulic loader as back-up. The shovel requirements include four 21 m 3 shovels for<br />

both waste and mineralized material types from Year 1 to Year 14. From Year 15 to<br />

Year 28, the shovel requirements range between three and four. From Year 29 to<br />
