RE:RE:RE:The water dyke

uuuhhh, no. They need to get through the dyke on two vertically, adjacent levels.

The first stope they mined was 9500 tons. I was trying understand why they chose such a small, low grade stope for the first stope. I think I figured it out. The reason is, the first stope was an uppers stope, blasted and mucked from the same level. Uppers stopes are tiny.

To start mining the larger, higher grade stopes they need an access at the top and bottom of the stopes. They are through the dyke on the top level, but they need to get through the dyke on the bottom level also. When they have the two levels developed, they can start to ramp up towards 1000 to 2000 tpd.

It is all starting to make more sense now.
