Underground means change

For the transition from open-pit to underground mining we will:

• Need several dozen pieces of new mining equipment
• Be moving primarily ore and virtually no waste rock
• Require heaters to warm the fresh air we pump undergroundBuild crusher and paste backfill plants
• Increase our power plant capacity
• Double water treatment capacity
• Add accommodations for short-term needs when we will be operating both open-pit and underground mines
• Raise the processed kimberlite containment dam to increase capacity
• Increase our fuel storage capacity
