I-Chalice Mining yenze inkqubela phambili ebalulekileyo ekugrumbeni kwiprojekthi yeJulimar, kwiikhilomitha ezingama-75 emantla ePerth. Iindawo ezine zemigodi ezifunyenweyo zandile ngobukhulu kwaye iindawo ezine ezintsha zifunyenwe.
Uphando lwamva nje lufumanise ukuba amacandelo amabini e-ore i-G1 kunye ne-G2 adibene enzonzobileni, ubude bawo bungaphezulu kweemitha ezingama-690 ecaleni komgca, obufikelela kwiimitha ezingama-490, kwaye akukho kungena ecaleni komgca ukuya emantla nasezantsi.
Imeko yemigodi kwicandelo le-G1 kunye nele-G2 imi ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:
Iimitha ezingama-39 kubunzulu beemitha ezingama-290, i-palladium grade 3.8 g/ton, iplatinum 0.6 g/ton, i-nickel 0.3%, ubhedu 0.2%, i-cobalt 0.02%, kuquka ne-2 metres thick, i-palladium grade 14.9 g/ton, iplatinum 0.02 G/ton, i-nickel 0.04%, ubhedu 0.2% kunye ne-cobalt 0.04% mineralization, kunye ne-4.5 metres thick, i-palladium grade 7.1 g/ton, iplatinum 1.4 g/ton, i-nickel 0.9%, ubhedu 0.5% kunye ne-cobalt 0.06% mineralization化.
Ubude bemigodi ye-G3 ecaleni kohlaselo budlule kwiimitha ezingama-465, kwaye bufikelela kwiimitha ezingama-280 ecaleni kohlaselo. Ayinakungena emantla kwaye inzulu ecaleni kohlaselo.
Icandelo lemigodi ye-G4 ligrumbe kubunzulu obuziimitha ezili-139.8 laza lafumana iimitha ezingama-34.5 ze-ore, i-palladium grade 2.8 g/ton, iplatinum 0.7 g/ton, igolide 0.4 g/ton, i-nickel 0.2%, i-copper 1.9%, kunye ne-cobalt 0.02%.
I-G8, i-G9, i-G10 kunye ne-G11 zonke ziinxalenye ze-ore ezisandula ukufunyanwa ezikumgangatho ophezulu.
Icandelo lemigodi ye-G8 linobude obungaphezulu kweemitha ezingama-350 ecaleni kwendlela yokutsiba kunye neemitha ezingama-250 ecaleni kwendlela yokutsiba, kwaye i-G9 inobude obuziimitha ezingama-350 ecaleni kwendlela yokutsiba kunye neemitha ezingama-200 ecaleni kwendlela yokutsiba.
Ezi ndawo zimbini zemigodi zifumaneka eludongeni oluxhonyiweyo lwe-G1-G5, kwaye kukho ithuba lokwandiswa kuzo zonke iindlela.
I-G10 drilling saw iimitha ezili-18 kubunzulu beemitha ezili-121, kunye namanqanaba e-palladium angama-4.6 g/t, iplatinum 0.5% g/t, i-nickel 0.4%, i-copper 0.1% kunye ne-cobalt 0.03%. Ubude ecaleni kwe-strike bungaphezulu kweemitha ezingama-400, kwaye bufikelela kwiimitha ezingama-300 ngokwendlela esetyenziswa ngayo. Iimitha, akukho ukungena emantla nasezantsi.
Icandelo le-G11 lifunyenwe kwindawo yokugrumba eludongeni exhonyiweyo kwicandelo le-G4. Lifunyenwe lingaphezulu kweemitha ezili-1,000 ubude ecaleni kwendlela yokutshayisa, kwaye landa laya kufikelela kwiimitha ezingama-300 ecaleni kwendlela yokuntywila, kwaye akukho kungena emantla okanye nzulu ecaleni kwendlela yokuntywila.
Icandelo le-G11 lomgodi ligqobile ukuze libone imeko:
◎ Iimitha ezili-11 kubunzulu obuziimitha ezingama-78, i-palladium grade 13 g/ton, iplatinum 1.3 g/ton, igolide 0.3 g/ton, i-nickel 0.1%, ubhedu 0.1% kunye ne-cobalt 0.01%, kuquka imitha e-1 ubukhulu, i-palladium grade 118g/ton, iplatinum 8g/ton, igolide 2.7g/ton, i-nickel 0.2% kunye ne-copper 0.1% mineralization,
◎ Kubunzulu beemitha ezingama-91, umgodi ungangeemitha ezili-17, umgangatho we-palladium yi-4.1 g/ton, iplatinum yi-0.8 g/ton, igolide yi-0.4 g/ton, i-nickel yi-0.5%, ubhedu yi-0.3%, kunye ne-cobalt yi-0.03%.
Umngeneleli waseGonneville (eGonneville) ubude bakhe buziikhilomitha ezili-1.6 kwaye ububanzi buziimitha ezingama-800.
Le nkampani ibike iziphumo zemingxuma engama-64 yokugrumba ngeli xesha kwaye yabona ukwenziwa kwezimbiwa izihlandlo ezingama-260, apho ezili-188 kuzo zabona imizimba yentsimbi yodidi oluphezulu.
Uhlalutyo lwezinye iisampulu ezingama-45 ezigrunjiweyo alukagqitywa.
Kutshanje uCharles ufumene imvume evela kurhulumente yokwenza uphando kwiHulimar National Forest Park, kwaye umsebenzi uyaqhubeka okwangoku.
Le nkampani yathi ukuba zonke iingxaki ze-airborne electromagnetic ezichazwe ngaphambili zingaqinisekiswa njengeediphozithi, ngoko ke imeko yomgodi we-copper-nickel okumgangatho wehlabathi weHulimar ingamiselwa ngokusisiseko.
