RE: Block cave mining is now the preferred mining method.24 Aug 2024 09:28
Good morning Pbow.
I am not a civil engineer, just to repeat in case someone hasn't read the first message from me.
I believe that the support for the roof is covered, but also ground is sterilised, so that construction above ground doesn't add any downward pressure on the construction.
So less cost.
I believe we had an RNS some time ago and that was what made me look into sterilised land around the mine.
However anyone who is involved in the construction of mines today, has block caving experience, and my posts on this subject is to show people on here, that Solgold can build a block cave operation if it has the money, as civil engineers can provide the expertise and know how and the scare stories on this forum are just that.
There are scare stories, as it doesn't match their world view that Solgold must sell, because it's impossible for them to go to production.
