Drilling and mapping has shown high grade gold is associated with strongly sheared and sericite-hematite altered porphyry; with stock works of extensional quartz veins and sheared contacts with the hangingwall rocks.
-
The continuous miner was preferred due to lower operating costs even though dilution of the ore can be as high as 20% if all of the copper-bearing sequence should be mined; in the mine plan presented, hangingwall dilution is minimized in the early years in order to maintain higher grades.
