foundation conditions. All non -ore materials will be hauled to one of the OSAs or used in <br />backfilling mine areas. <br />5.6 Crushing and Conveying <br />5.6.1 Crushing Facility <br />The existing crushing circuit located adjacent to the AGVLF will be operated as currently <br />approved. Production rates from the crusher complex are currently permitted up to a <br />capacity of 27 MT per year. On average, 25 MT of ore per year will be processed <br />through the primary and secondary crushers. <br />Approximately 2 MT of material through the crusher will be higher grade ore material <br />that will then be directed to the High Grade Mill facilities. The remaining crushed <br />material will be placed on the AGVLF or SGVLF. <br />The ore from the mine areas will be hauled directly to the dump pocket of the primary <br />gyratory crusher or temporarily placed in a nearby ore stockpile. A loader will be used to <br />maintain the crusher dump pocket area and to feed the dump pocket from the temporary <br />stockpile when necessary. The truck dump pocket is enclosed on all sides and is <br />equipped with a water spray system for dust control. <br />From the primary crusher, ore is dropped onto a conveyor to a splitter box and double <br />deck vibratory screens. The splitter box and screens provide separation to direct properly <br />sized ore directly to the LOB and oversize ore to the secondary crushers for further <br />crushing. The secondary crushers crush the ore to nominal 3/4 to 7/8 inches in size. Dust <br />is controlled by water sprays and the enclosed transfer points of the primary crusher and <br />screening facility. In addition, the primary crushing facility is equipped with a foam <br />application system that can be utilized to assist with dust suppressant efforts during <br />adverse weather conditions. <br />The secondary crushing facility includes the ability to house four cone crushers in an <br />enclosed structure. However, under the current production rate of about 27 MT of ore <br />material through the crushing circuit, only three of the four secondary crushing units have <br />been installed and implemented. Dust is controlled through water sprays. In addition, <br />the conveyor system to and from the secondary crusher and the drop points in each of the <br />secondary crushing units are enclosed. The secondary crusher product is then conveyed <br />to the LOB for hauling to further processing. <br />Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company <br />Cresson Project Mine Life Extension 2 <br />5 -16 <br />
