Access to the ore zone was gained via old workings and new development. The work included: Recovery of vertical and inclined shafts._x000D_
Recovery of collapsed winzes._x000D_
Recovery of level drives and crosscuts._x000D_
Spiling through broken ground and old mullock._x000D_
Pre-grouting of caved zones._x000D_
