Flag Deposits (Kundip Deposits) at Tectonic Resources NL (Tectonic), Phillips River Project, located
between Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun, Western Australia.
Recommendations are provided to enable mine designs to be prepared including:
à Bench heights, batter angles, berm widths and overall slope angles for the open pits.
à Stope and pillar dimensions and development ground support requirements for the
underground mines.
The work was carried out at the request of Mr Bruce Armstrong, Senior Project Geologist, for
Tectonic.

à Consideration of previous experience in investigation, assessment and review of stability
performance of open pit walls and underground opening in similar ground conditions to those
found at Phillips River.
2.1 Geology
The following summary of the Kaolin and Hillsborough local geology is based on information
supplied by Tectonic 2.
The Kaolin deposit is hosted within altered felsic rocks which form part of the Annabelle
Volcanics. The sequence in this area is dominated by dacite tuffs and porphyries. The intense
kaolin alteration that occurs in the upper levels of the deposit is thought to have resulted from
the intrusion of the Kundip Granodiorite. This intense alteration has destroyed much of the
primary rock textures. Numerous raft / sill like bodies have been intersected in the drilling
with the bottom of many of the deeper holes terminating in the granodiorite.
East-west striking, southerly dipping granitic rocks have been intersected in boreholes at
depths of 90 to 200m in the Gem and Hillsborough areas. The nature and relationship of
these granitic occurrences is not known. Microdiorite (and dolerite) dykes crop out near the
Beryl Mine. These dykes have been intersected by diamond drilling along the Harbour View
line and are not considered to be co-magmatic to the volcanic dykes, as they postdate the
granitic rocks.
There are four main stacked lodes at Kaolin with numerous other less extensive lodes also
identified. The lodes dip at between 20-40° toward the South. The mineralisation is almost
always associated with some form of dilation quartz vein and encapsulating alteration halo.
There is some evidence from the trial mining in the oxide zone that supergene effects have
spread lower grade gold values outside of these primary alteration halos.
Kaolin alteration dominates the country rock in the upper levels of the deposit, which is
thought to have resulted from the intrusion of a large granodiorite at depth.

The steeply dipping Hillsborough Lode is planned to be extracted by longhole open stoping (LHOS)
methods while the shallow to moderate dipping Kaolin Lode is planned to be extracted by room and
pillar mining, predominantly via hand held mining techniques.
Tectonic is currently planning to exhaust mine air at the Kaolin end of the open pit via a sub-
horizontal ventilation drive that will intersect the 925– 940mRL batter in the north-eastern sector of
the open pit. The Hillsborough stoping area is designed to be exhausted by an ∼ 60m long shaft
designed to intersect the 955mRL berm on the open pit northern wall.
Development sizes and ground support specifications proposed by Tectonic for Kaolin and the other
underground mines are as listed in Table 1.
Tectonic is planning to use resin anchored gewie bars in addition to the above ground support to
reinforce large rock slabs/ wedges.
Borehole No. Mine Interval (m) Borehole No. Mine Interval (m)
Important points to note regarding the assessed borehole cores are that:
à The DD04KP – DD09KP prefixed series of boreholes were drilled by Tectonic between 2004
and 2009 with the later boreholes drilled primarily for the current assessment of open pit slope
stability at Kaolin and Hillsborough.
à Boreholes BD015 – BD035 were drilled by Norseman Gold Mines in the 1980s for
exploration purposes. Check geotechnical logging of these boreholes was undertaken to
collect additional information about ground conditions within potential underground mining
areas at Kaolin.
Core quality observed during the check logging and previous rock mass characterisation
results suggest that these borehole cores provide a reasonable indication of ground conditions.
à For the Kaolin underground assessment geotechnical data from these boreholes was combined
with data from Boreholes DD05KP473 and DD05KP474.
2.4.2 Rock Weathering
The rock weathering profile within the proposed open pits varies as follows:
Kaolin
The rock mass can be generally described as highly weathered to a depth of ~ 50mbs (rangeing from
∼ 42m to 55mbs). From this depth the rock mass weathering rapidly transitions from slightly
weathered to fresh.
An exception to the general weathering profile may occur on the proposed southern pit wall where
Borehole DD09KP749 indicates that the rock mass becomes reasonably fresh (slightly weathered) at a
depth of ∼ 15mbs. It is envisaged that this type of weathering irregularity could be present along other
wall sectors of the proposed open pit.
Hillsborough
The proposed ~ 80m deep Hillsborough Open Pit will be excavated within extremely to moderately
weathered rock mass to ~ 42mbs. The base (~ 38m) of the open pit will be within slightly weathered
to fresh rocks. The weathering profile corresponds with that at the western end of the Kaolin Open
Pit, as defined by Borehole DD09KP748.
2.4.3 Rock Quality
For this assessment Tectonic supplied EXCEL spreadsheets containing Rock Quality Designation
(RQD) and fracture counts per metre of core from the assessed boreholes. The data are presented in
Appendix A. Where the intensity of fracturing exceeded 25 fractures per metre, Tectonic geologists
recorded the fracture frequency as > 25 f/m, hence this is the maximum fracture frequency. The RQD
and fracture frequency data were assessed according to Quartile values with best and worst case
results summarised in Table 3.
Table 3 Fracture Frequency & RQD Ranges According to Weathering for Kaolin and
Hillsborough
The results overall show that the within the proposed open pit underground mining areas the rock mass
is characterised by well developed fracturing which can be expected to be detrimental for wall
stability.

Notes-
UCS = Uniaxial Compressive Strength normalised for 50mm core diameter.
UCS A+C = Uniaxial Compressive Strength data from core that failed either due to axial splitting (A) or multiple cracking (C).
UCS TOTAL = Total Uniaxial Compressive Strength data including shear failure.
Based on the results of the manual strength testing and the laboratory based Uniaxial Compressive
Strength (UCS) testing following comments are provided:
à The weathered rocks at Kaolin and Hillsborough typically range from 1 MPa to 50 MPa
(worst and best cases).
à For slightly weathered to fresh rocks, UCS values of 250 MPa and 70 MPa are considered to
be representative of the best case (highest) and worst case rock strength values respectively.
The current results indicate that the rocks at Kaolin and Hillsborough are stronger than those
found at Harbour View and Flag Deposits.
2.4.5 Rock Stress
No in situ stress measurements have been undertaken to date at Kundip.
Given the shallow depth (≤150m) of mining it is expected, however that rock stresses will be low to
moderate. Experience at other Australian mines suggests that stress magnitudes would not likely be
sufficient to adversely affect the stability of openings until mining proceeds to depths greater than ∼
550m below surface. On the basis of experience at other mines, the virgin stress field at Kundip is
assumed to be defined as:
σvertical (σ3) = 0.028h MPa where h is the depth below surface (m).
σnorth south (σ1) = 2.5 x σvertical MPa
σEast-West (σ2) = 1.5 x σvertical MPa
2.4.6 Hydrogeology
The most recent hydrological investigation 13 of the proposed Kundip mining area was undertaken in
2004 by Rockwater Pty Ltd. Key findings from that investigation were that:
à The Archean rocks of the Kundip area have low permeability.
à Previous groundwater inflows into the historical underground working could be up to 500m3
per day.
à Flag is probably the wettest mine, followed Harbour View and then Beryl (Kaolin).
à Groundwater occurs in localised fracture zones most of which are probably related to
mineralised zones.
à The groundwater drilling program consisted of six boreholes of which four intersected
groundwater. Only one of the boreholes intersected significant water inflow (∼ 60m3/day).
à The water table at Kundip dips gently to the south south-east. The water level generally
ranges between ∼ 25m and 40mbs.
2.4.7 Rock Defects
Rock defect orientations and characteristics were collected by the Tectonic Exploration Department
personnel from the oriented sections of the borehole cores.
Stereographic analysis of the rock defect data was carried out using the DIPS 5 software code with
results (relative to AMG) for the individual boreholes summarised in Table 5 Appendix B contains
pole and major plane plots of assessments.

From these assessments the major rock defect orientations were delineated for the Kaolin Deposit with
results summarised in Table 6.
1 30° / 240°
2 20° / 030°
3 45° / 155°
4 60° / 202°
5 71° / 312°
6 51° / 106°
The results indicate that Major Defect Sets 1, 2, 3 and 4 are well developed throughout the deposits
while the remaining sets 5 and 6 are not prevalent.
Wall stability is expected to be predominantly controlled by the orientation and shear strength of
geological structures exposed in or located close behind future walls. Based on the major defect sets
delineated (Table 6) the assessed potential wall failure modes (should walls be mined at too steep an
angle for prevailing ground conditions) are provided in Table 7.
Within slightly weathered to fresh rock the highest potential for wall stability will be from Major
Defect Set 3 which is a well developed joint set at Kundip.

Since Q-Values are non-linear, conventional measures of dispersion (such as standard deviation) are
inappropriate. For this assessment the distribution of the Q Values and Modified Q Values has been
described using quartile values. To obtain a general understanding of ground conditions at the Kaolin
quartiles were calculated for each of the geometrical domains identified in Table 9 with results
presented in Table 10.

Rock
Main Decline
Where the Main Decline occurs within the hangingwall of the lode/s it should be kept at least 15m
vertically above the future stope voids to minimise the risk of a large scale stope hangingwall failure
compromising decline stability. If this is not feasible then a decline pillar should be left within the
underlying section of the lode/s. The size of the pillar would need to be assessed prior to
commencement of stoping however for preliminary design purposes it is recommended that the pillar
extend at least 5m laterally from the sidewalls of the decline.
Development
Ground support designs for the development are summarised in Table 14 and discussed in the
following sections.
Main Decline & Accesses
à The Main Decline and accesses will encounter ground conditions that will range from very
poor to good.
à Fair to good quality rock is anticipated within ~50% of decline and access development. An
appropriate minimum ground support standard would be to install, ≥2.4m long friction bolts
and weld mesh over the backs and shoulders of this development.
à The poorer quality rock mass is typically highly structured (≥3 defect set) and is expected to
be exposed within ~50% of decline and access development. Where highly structured
(jointed) rock mass is encounter the most appropriate ground control strategy would be to
install ≥ 2.4m long friction bolts and mesh over the development backs and sidewalls to
within at least 2.0m of floor level.
Ore Drives
à Ground conditions within the Kaolin Main Lode range from very poor to good, however the
assessments indicate that poor or worse quality rock may account for 50% of ore drive
development. Within the remaining ~50% of ore drive development ground conditions are
expected to be fair or better rock quality.
à Ground conditions within the Footwall Lode are rated as fair to good rock quality which
indicates that overall ground conditions are better than those anticipated within the Kaolin
Main Lode.
à Within the poorer (highly structured) ground conditions it is recommended that as a minimum
standard:
Mechanised ore drives (3m wide x 3.5m high) are supported with ≥1.8m long friction bolts
and mesh installed over drive backs and sidewalls to within ~1.5m of floor level.
Handheld ore drives (2m wide x 2m high) are supported with weld mesh and ≥1.5m long
friction bolts installed over the drive backs and shoulders.
à Within the ore drive development expected to be of fair or better rock quality it is
recommended that as a minimum ground support standard:
Mechanised ore drives are supported with ≥1.8m long friction bolts and mesh installed over
drive backs and shoulders.
The backs of handheld developed ore drives are reinforced with ≥1.5m long friction bolts
installed in 1.5m spaced rings with each ring containing three (3) friction bolts.
Intersection Spans
à The current assessments indicate that ~50% of decline and access development will
potentially occur in blocky/ structured ground conditions. This strongly suggests that it would
be prudent to systematically reinforce all decline and access intersections or similar size spans
(≥6m wide) with ≥6m long twin strand cable bolts installed on a 2m x 2m pattern throughout
the wide span. The cable bolts would be in addition to the standard drive development ground
support installed.
à Within smaller size intersection spans such as those formed between accesses and ore drives
an appropriate reinforcement would be to install ≥3m long, ~20 tonne capacity full column
grouted gewie bars installed on a ~1.5m x 1.5m pattern throughout the wide span.
Alternatively cable bolts installed on a 2.0m x 2.0m pattern could also be used for the purpose.
Stopes Spans
à Within room and pillar stoping areas the types of ground support that can be installed will be
largely dependent on stope heights:
Stopes ≤1.5m high, wooden props installed on a maximum spacing of 2m x 2m would be an
appropriate hangingwall support.
Stopes ≥ 1.5m high, ≥1.5m long resin grouted gewie bars installed on a 1.5m x 1.5m pattern
into the stope hangingwall.
Weakly to Moderately Structured ≥2.4m long friction bolts and mesh (3.0m x 2.4m) installed over the

The mineralisation at Harbour View and Harbour View North is hosted predominantly within
dacitic and to a lesser extent andesitic volcanic rocks of the Annabelle Volcanics. Within the
deposit area the volcanic dip steeply (~75°) towards the northeast.
This sequence of bedded volcanics has been intruded by aphanitic to fine-medium-grained
dacites and dacite porphyries (containing feldspar phenocrysts). Most of the intrusives occur
in discordant broadly tabular bodies that dip toward the south east. The dacite intrusives and
dacitic volcanics (lapilli and breccia tuffs) appear to be comagmatic (similar source).
South dipping granitic rocks have been intersected in boreholes at depths of 90 to 200m in the
South Harbour View areas. The nature and relationship of these granitic occurrences is not
known. Dolerite dykes that are interpreted to post date the granitic rocks outcrop along the
southwestern side of Harbour View.
The rock mass immediately adjacent (within 4m) to mineralised quartz veins exhibits intense
chlorite alteration and typically contains both disseminated and stringer sulphides.

Toward the end of open pit mining, Tectonic are proposing to establish a Portal at ~940mRL on the
southern wall of the Maydon Open Pit to enable development of a mechanised decline mine to extract
primarily the Harbour View Lode and Harbour View North Lodes to ~750mRL (~150mbs). A small
amount of stoping is planned on the Maydon Lode directly beneath the open pit and the 2401 Cross
Lode (Cross Lode) that occurs at the southern end of the deposit.
The decline is currently designed to occur within the mine hangingwall opposite a low grade sector of
the lodes that is currently not planned for extraction From this approximately central decline location
ore accesses at 15-20m vertical intervals will be developed to intersect the Harbour View Lode
structure. On each sublevel ore drives will be developed on the Harbour View Lode to the North and
South.
The Harbour View North Lode which occurs at the Northern end of the deposit will be accessed on
each sublevel via a cross cut developed from the adjacent sub-parallel Harbour View Lode ore drive.
The Cross Lode transgresses across the Harbour View Lode ore drive; hence this lode will be driven
directly from the original ore drive.
It is currently planned to extract the lodes by the LHOS, in a top down direction (overhand manner)
utilising pillars to maintain stope void stability. The stopes will range from 2-7m wide.
Mine air will be exhausted via rises/ shafts off set between sublevels. The upper most shaft interval is
designed between ~930mRL underground workings and a wide flat area located on the eastern wall of
the Harbour View Open Pit at ~960mmRL (~40mbs).
Development sizes and ground support specifications proposed by Tectonic are shown in Table 1.

Table 16 Fracture Frequency & RQD Ranges According to Weathering for Harbour View
The results shown in Table 16 indicate that weathered and fresh rocks within the anticipated pit walls
are expected to be strongly fractured which will be unfavourable for batter and berm crest stability.
Within the proposed underground mining area rock mass fracturing tends to decrease with increasing
depth below surface which is inferred to be related to the reduced effects of weathering.

UCS = Uniaxial Compressive Strength normalised for 50mm core diameter.
UCS A+C = Uniaxial Compressive Strength data from core that failed either due to axial splitting (A) or multiple cracking (C).
UCS TOTAL = Total Uniaxial Compressive Strength data including shear failure.
Based on the results of the manual strength testing and the laboratory based Uniaxial Compressive
Strength (UCS) testing following comments are provided:
à The weathered rocks at Harbour View Deposit typically range from ∼ 1 MPa to 50 MPa
(worst and best cases).
à For slightly weathered to fresh rocks, UCS values of ∼ 120 MPa and 80 MPa are considered to
be representative of the best case (highest) and worst case rock strength values respectively
for the volcanic rocks (Dacite, Intermediate Lapilli Tuff and Porphyry).
à Granitic rocks at Harbour View can be classified as extremely strong.
3.4.5 Rock Stress
No in situ stress measurements have been undertaken to date at Kundip.
Given the shallow depth (≤150m) of mining it is expected, however that rock stresses will be low. On
the basis of experience at other mines, the virgin stress field at Kundip is assumed to be defined as:
σvertical (σ3) = 0.028h MPa where h is the depth below surface (m).
σnorth south (σ1) = 2.5 x σvertical MPa
σEast-West (σ2) = 1.5 x σvertical MPa
General experience at other Australian mines suggests that stress magnitudes may be sufficient to
adversely affect the stability of openings if mining proceeds to depths greater than ∼ 550m below
surface.
3.4.6 Hydrogeology
To our knowledge no specific hydrogeological investigations have been performed for Harbour View.
It is inferred that the findings of the 2004 Rockwater investigation for Kaolin will also apply (in a
generalised sense) to Harbour View.
3.4.7 Rock Defects
Stereographic analysis of the rock defect data was carried out using the DIPS 5 software code with
results (relative to AMG) for the individual boreholes summarised in Table 18 Appendix B contains
pole and major plane plots of assessments.
Table 18 Major Defect Sets Identified According to Borehole for Harbour View
Major rock defect orientations defined for the Harbour View Deposit are summarised in Table 19.

3 63° / 001°
4 24° / 072°
5 41° / 225°
6 50° / 160°
The results indicate that Major Defect Sets 1, 2, 3 and 5 are well developed throughout the deposit
while the remaining Defect Sets 4 and 6 are not as prevalent. Defect Set 7 (Table 19) was identified
only within Borehole DD05KP005 and hence is considered to be a minor set.
Wall stability is expected to be predominantly controlled by geological structures. Based on the major
defect sets delineated (Table 19) the assessed potential wall failure modes (should walls be mined at
too steep an angle for prevailing ground conditions) are provided in Table 20.

Where economic sectors of the sub-parallel Harbour View Lode and Harbour View North Lodes occur
in close proximity (≤5m), consideration should be given to:
à Combining the lodes to form a single (bulk) stope to avoid formation of a slender stope
separation pillar that will become increasingly unstable as the size of the adjacent stope voids
increase. At some point during extraction it would be expected that the pillar would collapse
into the stope voids.
à Extracting the highest grade lode and then undertaking limited (≤ 50% (?)) extraction of the
remaining lode.
à Undertaking selective backfilling of stope voids with development mullock and/ or cemented
rock fill to limit stope spans and assist in maintaining pillar stability. This would probably
require adoption of bench stoping in the affected areas of the mine.
As the separation distance between the potential adjacent parallel stope voids increases the risk of
pillar instability will progressively decrease. It is envisaged that pillars ≥10m wide should remain
reasonably stable provided pillars within the adjacent stopes are aligned.
Ventilation Shaft
The currently proposed ventilation shaft collar position within the Harbour View Open Pit at ~40mbs
is endorsed as it will most likely eliminate development of the shaft through inherently unstable clay
rich weathered rocks.
Below 40mbs the shaft will occur within slightly weathered to predominantly fresh rock. If the shaft
is excavated by handheld mining methods it is expected that shaft sidewalls could be adequately
supported with rock bolts (friction bolts and gewie bars) and mesh.
3.6.5 Ground Support and Reinforcement
The minimum ground support designs are contained in Appendix E and summarised in Table 27.
Important aspects of the designs are as follows:
Ore Drives
à Ground conditions within the Harbour View and Harbour View North Lode ore drives should
be predominantly (up to 75%) good. For these favourable ground conditions the minimum
ground support standard should be to install 1.8m long friction bolts and mesh across the drive
backs and shoulders.
à The remaining 25% of lode development may encounter poor quality rock that will probably
necessitate installation of additional sidewall mesh to within ~1.5m of floor level.
Intersection Spans
à All wide spans formed at the intersection of large size (≥4m wide) development, in particular
decline intersections should be systematically reinforced with ≥6m long twin strand cable
bolts installed on a 2m x 2m pattern throughout the wide span. The cable bolts would be in
addition to the standard drive development ground support installed.
à Within lesser intersection spans, such as those formed between accesses and ore drives, an
appropriate reinforcement would be to install ≥3m long, ~ 20 tonne capacity full-column
grouted gewie bars on a ~ 1.5m x 1.5m pattern throughout the span. Alternatively cable bolts
installed on a 2.0m x 2.0m pattern could be used.
Stope Spans
à The sidewalls of the Harbour View and Harbour View North Ore Drives are expected to
intersect unfavourably orientated geological structures and/ or blocky rock mass conditions in
places. In an effort to improve stope wall stability it is recommended that these sector of ore
drive be reinforced with 2-2.5m spaced rings of ≥4m long twin strand cable bolts, with each
ring containing two (2) plated and tensioned cable bolts.
à For costing purposes it is suggested that an allowance be made for 25% of ore drive sidewalls
to be cable bolted.

4.1 Geology
A brief description of the Flag Deposit local geology based on information2 provided by Tectonic is
provided below:
The Flag Deposit occurs at the southern end of the mineral field predominantly within dacitic
lavas and tuffs of the Annabelle Volcanics. The Flag Main Lode dips at between 40-60°
toward the South. The lode has been displaced ~10-15m laterally by a moderately (60°) south
east dipping fault that contains economic mineralisation (Cross Fault Lode). At the far
western end of the deposit the lodes are hosted within a moderate (~ 45°) south west dipping
granite that overlies dacitic lavas.
Proterozoic cover, consisting of quartzite and conglomerate from the Mount Barren Group,
cover the western end of the Flag Deposit. This contact unconformably overlies sections of
the Annabelle Volcanics and is believed to be the main reason why some of the lode
extensions, beneath the Mount Barren Group, were not exploited by historical mining.
block. It is expected that the in-ore decline will necessitate use of a cut and fill mining method for this
block.
Mine air will be exhausted from:
à The centrally located Main Shaft which was used during the previous phase of mining at Flag.
This shaft extends from surface to the bottom level (~870mRL) of the historical underground
working on Flag Main Lode.
à Shafts located at the eastern and western ends of the mine. It is currently proposed to develop
the Eastern Ventilation Shaft between underground development at ~920mRL and the East Pit
ramp at ~955mRL. The uppermost interval of the Western Ventilation Shaft will extend from
development at ~910m RL to the 935mRL berm located in the southwestern corner of the
Flag Main Pit.
Development sizes and ground support specifications proposed by Tectonic are shown in Table 1.

Both the Eastern and Western Ventilation Shafts are expected to be predominantly developed through

installation of mesh and rock bolts will require if developed by handheld drill and blast techniques.
No comments can be provided about the condition of the original Flag Main Shaft that Tectonic
intends to also use to exhaust mine air.
4.6.5 Ground Support and Reinforcement
The minimum ground support designs are contained in Appendix E and summarised in Table 40.
Important aspects of the designs will be discussed.
Ore Drives
à Ground conditions within the Flag ore drives should be predominantly fair to good. For these
favourable ground conditions the minimum ground support standard should be to install 1.8m
long friction bolts and mesh across the drive backs and shoulders.
à For budgeting purposes it is recommended that an allowance be made for 10% of ore drive
development to be meshed to within ~1.5m of floor level.
Intersection Spans
à All wide spans formed at the intersection of large size (≥4m wide) development, in particular
decline intersections should be systematically reinforced with ≥6m long twin strand cable
bolts installed on a 2m x 2m pattern throughout the wide span. The cable bolts would be in
addition to the standard drive development ground support installed.
à Within smaller size intersection spans such as those formed between accesses and ore drives
an appropriate reinforcement would be to install ≥3m long, ~20 tonne capacity full column
grouted gewie bars on a ~1.5m x 1.5m pattern throughout the span. Alternatively cable bolts
installed on a 2.0m x 2.0m pattern could also be used.
Stope Spans
à For costing purposes it is suggested that an allowance be made for 25% of ore drive
hangingwalls to be reinforced with 2-2.5m spaced rings of ≥4m long twin strand cable bolts,
with each ring containing two (2) plated and tensioned cable bolts.

Flag Deposit
The moderate (50°) southeast dipping Cross Fault Lode at Flag Deposit has a strike length of ~20-40m
and dip extent of ~50m. This irregular strike length lode may warrant investigation with three (3)
boreholes that intersect the lode at 20-30m spacings apart.
5.2 Monitoring
Monitoring will be required for:
à Open pit access stability assessment.
à Stability of slopes overlying and adjacent to the portal.
à Stope stability, particularly hangingwall stability. Use of simple (short) borehole extensometers
(tell-tales) will be required (at least locally).
à Groundwater inflows and/or chemistry may also need to be checked to assess potential for
corrosion of steel reinforcing (grouted and ungrouted) and support elements.
5.3 Ground Control Management Plan
To comply with Section 10.28 of the Western Australian Mines Safety and Inspection Regulations
1995, development of a formal Ground Control Management Plan (GCMP) is required.
The GCMP describes the ground conditions encountered and/or anticipated in the mine, and justifies
the mining methods in use or proposed. It identifies likely failure mechanisms and the means by
which these will be precluded or avoided to permit safe development and production.
The physical and management procedures to be used to ensure appropriate mine design and use of safe
mining practices are also described.
From a geotechnical perspective, the document must show nominal design sections and plans for
layouts of each type of reinforcement/support profile and/or pattern and must include a written
description of the nominal specifications.
The derivations of base case reinforcement and support designs are provided by this report. The
GCMP must also, however, detail how site by site variations to reinforcement and/or support are
determined and justified, particularly where reductions in base case support levels are proposed.
Additionally, the manner in which further structural geological and geotechnical data will be gathered
and analysed and reviewed, and designs confirmed or amended in practice must also be documented.
6.0 Closure
The foregoing recommendations assume that appropriate techniques are used, and carried out at a
consistently high standard, in all aspects of underground development and stoping, and in ground
reinforcement and support installation, in all future Phillips River mines.
We trust that the information provided meets your current requirements. Should there be any need for
further explanation, please do not hesitate to contact us.
