Drilling of the borings at the mine entries <br /> and along the road alignment shows erratic geologic conditions <br /> as can be expected within a landslide area. Considerable soil <br />I <br /> ~, cover has been detected in most borings; it can be assumed that <br />1 ~~~ these soils comprise largely landslide deposits. Soil cover <br /> ~ thickness ranges generally between 20 to 30 feet; in one of the <br />' borings along the road alignment (boring A-6), bedrock could not <br /> ~i be reached even at the depth of 74 feet. <br />1 j <br /> Thickness of soils may increase within the part where the <br />' i~ mine bench will be located; all piezometer holes in this area <br /> were drilled in soils to depths up to 38 feet. <br />' W <br />ll <br /> ! <br />e can conclude that most excavations on the site wi <br />be <br /> performed in soils rather than in rock; there is enough support- <br />' ing data for this conclusion at the proposed mine bench area. <br /> ~I Borings drilled along the road indicate soil deposits of sig- <br />I <br />' nificant thickness as well, but it cannot be excluded that rocks <br /> will be encountered along the road during the excavation of <br />' i, higher cuts. <br /> <br />' Data from borings drilled for our purpose and data from old <br />~ ARCO exploration drilling enable a quite accurate interpretation <br />1 <br />~ ~ O~?NTWOCOKAAlN4 K <br />
