CONSTRUCTION OF AN ORE STORAGE BIN AND AN ORE PASS AT THE CHELOPECH GOLD AND COPPER MINE IN BULGARIA
In order to increase the ore output at the Chelopech Mine (Chelopech Mining EAD, DUNDEE Precious Metals Inc.), REDPATH DEILMANN was awarded a contract for the construction of an ore bin with a depth of 26.5 m and a diameter of 7 m as well as a 15° inclined ore pass with a length of 165 m and a diameter of 4 m.
Both the inclined ore pass and the ore bin were excavated by drilling and blasting with muck excavation via a previously drilled 2.1 m diameter raisebored pilot hole.
Excavation and support also required the provision of the sinking equipment including design and preparation of the licensing documents as well as the manufacturing and delivery of hoisting equipment and steel structures.
