SUMMARY OF COALDALE MINING PLAN BY AREA <br /> Dilution is main factor affecting economy of this operation; external and internal dilution. <br /> Footwall contact is dipping with variable angles, gypsum bedding and waste are intercalated <br /> and widths are variable; we established 30ft benches across the quarry, and load and haul <br /> equipment match the height of the benches, reducing dilution and such as control for ground <br /> vibration for blasting. <br /> Mining of gypsum is developing north to south with 30ft bench heights. By January 2020, <br /> gypsum top bench is L6910, bottom floor is L6820. Faces have been oriented in average <br /> N45°E to N55°E; it exposed different gypsum bedding, as showing in the picture L6890 <br /> (March, 2018). <br /> .1100 �" y i` 4"• �YPs gypsum - :1111111 <br /> .. - > h"� ram.
