Nkana Synclinorium Project - Ventilation Shaft (MCM Glencore FirstQuantum) - Zambian Copperbelt (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
April 2010 - Construction period 2010-2014
Rock Hoist Shaft
MCM proposes to sink and line a 7m diameter down cast rock hoisting shaft, 1260m deep for the hoisting of 4 million tpa of ore. The rock-hoisting shaft will be constructed by conventional shaft sinking method. The type of actual sinking equipment will be evaluated for
the most efficient sinking cycles e.g. mucking method, drilling method, and lining or means of support.
Ventilation Shaft
The increase in the mining activities in the Synclinorium will require improving the ventilation in the area. Hence, one Ventilation Shaft is proposed to be raise bored to expel used air from underground in order to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of the workers. The ventilation shaft will be located at 75 metres away of the rock-hoist shaft described above.The shaft will be 6 metres diameter and 1,180 metres deep.
