Any excess water will be stored underground in <br />abandoned stopes down dip from any active operations. <br />The main ventilation will downcast through the Duggan Adit, <br />with the main fan located in the main drift of the Mineral Joe No. <br />4 workings. Airtight bulkheads will be installed at strategic <br />locations so as to prevent any contaminated air from entering the <br />fresh air stream from abandoned workings. <br />During the driving of the development drift, fresh air will be <br />delivered to the face via 24-inch diameter ventilation tubing. <br />During the production phase, a ventilation cross-cut will be driven <br />from the trackless haulageway to the old workings on the Mineral <br />Joe No. 4 and/or No. 5 claim. This cross-cut will also serve as <br />the secondary escapeway. Fresh air will be delivered down the <br />Duggan Adit, through the trackless haulageway to the work face, <br />then will exhaust out the cross-cut, the old workings and out the <br />Mineral Joe No. 4 incline. Auxiliary ventilation will be set up in <br />the stopes as required. <br />{There is minimal surface disturbance involved in the drilling <br />of a venthole. A drilling rig will drive to the proposed site and <br />drill a hole which will be somewhere between 48 inches and 84 <br />inches in diameter. The cuttings (crushed rock from the hole) will <br />fall down into the mine and be removed as waste. A concrete pad <br />
