A phylite host rock
that we are walking through, it's very confident and solidified through
We need very little support, so you don't see any mining on the wall
there now you are closer
this purely a passage in the mine
to bring ore from the vein itself
we break the rock, than bring the ore up to the surface and truck it away
on the side are water lines, for drilling
here comes our miner
I'm learning
from where up are you? About 25 ft
I was yet, yeah
they are working the vein right here
now were are looking straight up
that's the face they are working, all the way across the face
they have these little pillars here
that they are working off of
and the rock comes down through the pillars
Tell me where you started
how often they are spaced, where your working right now
