....~~~.,~~ v-i~in~ng Tian <br />All mining presently .planned will be done underground. No surface <br />subsidence is expected because of the depth of operation or mining <br />method employed. No overburden removal will be required except for <br />minor amount"s required for surface plant as outlined below. The only <br />,,disturbed areas will be: <br />s <br />a) The Collar of the Ajax Shaft <br />b) The Portal of the C-7 Zone Decline <br />c) The Portal of the Carlton Tunnel. <br />d) The Carlton Mill Tailings Pond <br />e) The transportation corridor from the Ajax Mine to <br />C-7 area to the Carlton Mill. <br />112(2)(2) <br />Mining will take place at the Ajax Mine and the C-7 Zone adjacent <br />to the Cresson Mine (inoperative). The Carlton Tunnel will be utilized <br />for drainage and waste disposal. The Carlton Mill Tailings Pond <br />will store all tailings from the milling required to process Ajax and <br />C=7 Zone areas., <br />a) Ajax Mine <br />The mine has been in existence for over 80 years. The dump <br />area around the collar of the Ajax Shaft has been disturbed for that <br />period. All new work will be done on that previously disturbed surface. <br />Cohfidential: <br />The Ajax ore body consists of a series of narrow veins or vein-like, <br />structures generally nearly vertical. in dip within a granite or breccia <br />mass. <br />The veins have been mined from the surface to various depths but <br />as far as the 3200 level in one area. Present plans include mining <br />on the 3100 and 3350 levels. <br />Waste rock hoisted from the mine will be added to the existing <br />waste dump to create more level surface plant area. <br />Ore that is hoisted from the mine will either be dumped into <br />surface storage bins and then hauled by truck to the Carlton Mi11 or <br />dumped directly onto the ground at the shaft collar and then loaded <br />into trucks for haulage to the mill by front-end loader. Prior to <br />completion of the Carlton Mill, any rock hoisted from the mine for <br />processing at the mill will be stockpiled at the mine on the dump <br />until the mill is ready. <br />No earth moving or stripping will be done as the entire surface <br />area to be used is old. dump rock.. <br />...~~ ~~Q4362 <br />
