Crews initiated the first mining cut over backfill on the 2950 Level. This is the first cut-and-fill sequence in the Rob’s Deposit. The 3035 Level access has crossed the first ore vein and mining has commenced from this level. Production in the Rob’s Deposit is expected to increase as development opens up new veins and mining of currently opened veins progresses into the cut-and-fill sequence.
