Mine Development
Mine Development From developing the “Portal to Production” ACM is at the leading edge of
Shaft Sinking underground mine development. We have a proven track record in high speed
development and production services using world’s best practices to deliver our
Civil Construction Projects clients the highest quality product completed in a safe working environment.
Alimak Raising
Our team consists of some of the most experienced and mature mining operators
Alimak Stoping method
and supervisors in the underground mining industry. Our personnel understand
Labour Hire the importance of maintaining a safe and efficient work schedule delivering the
work on time and on budget.
ACM has the capability to operate in all underground gold and base metal mines
ranging from large scale massive ore bodies to narrow vein lodes that require
specialised mining techniques.
Shaft Sinking
Australian Contract Mining has the capability and capacities to provide all
aspects of shaft sinking operations from small exploration winzes to large
diameter deep shafts either sunk blind or strip and lined.
For small hand held shaft sinking projects ACM utilise a proven patented in
house designed system that increases safety and sinking speed.
Alimak Raising
AUSTRALIAN CONTRACT MINING'S ALIMAK RAISING BENEFITS
INCLUDE:
All this = Lower costs than raise boring methods saving you time and money
and successful association with the Alimak raise climber particularly at the Mt
Isa Mine using a fleet of 7 climbers during the early major expansion which
included a 360m long ventilation pilot raise to surface.
Worldwide more than 2,300 Alimak raise climbers have been distributed, being
used to drive more shafts and raises than any other system. Importantly the
longest Alimak raise developed to date is more than 1000m in length, meaning no
raise is too long or too large for the Alimak raising system and Australian
Contract Mining.
Alimak raising provides the safest of all entry methods involving the least risk to
the miner and can excavate safely through all types of ground conditions
supporting the face after each blast is taken ensuring the integrity of the
excavation during all stages of development.
The Alimak Raising method enables mining approaches, which cannot be carried
out using raise borers and has the added advantage of in raise access to allow for
the installation of ground support and grouting of water inflows as the raise is
excavated, unlike raise boring where boring through highly stressed or bad
ground conditions only ends up in ultimate failure or costly and time consuming
remediation.
With Australian Contract Mining using our 30 years of Alimak raising experience
every raise gets through to its ultimate destination regardless of the ground
conditions encountered "first time", "every time" and "on target" providing the
highest practicable levels of safety throughout the entire operation.
Alimak stoping has had considerable success overseas first developed in Sweden
at the Kiruna Iron Ore mine around 1966 where large stopes in excess of 500,000
tonnes each were excavated. In 1976 the first Alimak stopes were excavated in
Canada and it was then introduced into Australia in 1993 with a significant
number of projects having already been completed.
This innovative underground mining method allows for fast ore production as
access to the stope block is via the Alimak drill raises driven directly on the ore
body minimising the costs of nil value waste development. Ore losses and
dilution are low compared to other mining methods and the mechanised nature of
the stoping operation ensures maximum production, minimising the cost per ton
of ore delivered to the mill.
As a guide any large ore body that can be extracted economically using sub level,
long hole, open stoping techniques can be mined successfully using Alimak
mechanised stoping methods easily breaking over 4,000 tonnes per day with
major reductions in over all mine waste development and with significantly less
dilution reducing your costs dramatically. Even one metre wide narrow vein ore
bodies with short strike lengths and low tonnes per vertical metre can be mined
at over 1,000 tonnes per day using the Australian Contract Mining Alimak
Stoping method. Alimak Stoping provides greater flexibility when mining
complicated and variable ore bodies quickly adapting to suit changes to the ore
body widths and angle with the added ability of being able to leave pillars in
low-grade or waste.
Alimak Stoping is particularly applicable for mining narrow vein ore bodies
currently being mined using hand held mining methods with increased daily
production contributing to significantly reduced over all costs and reduced
physical fatigue leading to improved safety levels.
