Barrick Goldstrike Mines, Inc. AAI performed an evaluation of geotechnical data and rock mass quality for the Meikle ore body. Results from this evaluation were used for structural stability estimations of proposed stopes using bench and cemented fill mining methods. Included in this study were evaluations of rock strength, joint characteristics, RQD, structural geology, and [...]
Agnico-Eagle Mexico, SA de CV AAI prepared estimations of future ventilation fan requirements and ventilation control locations using the simulation package VnetPC2007 for the Agnico-Eagle Pinos Altos Mine. The mine is located in the Sierra Madre gold belt approximately 280 km from Chihuahua, Mexico, and is actually two interconnected mines: the Santa Nino and the [...]
