Given:
• Production drifts: 24.4m
• Production x-cuts: 12.2m
• Drift size: 4.2m x 4.1m
• Ore passes: 200m apart
• Caving rate: 0.30m/day

General Assumptions:
• Tramming distance is
minimized by assigning
draw points 1-8 to Ore
Pass 1 and draw points
9-16 to Ore Pass 2.
• Maximum tramming
distance = 100m
• Maximum truck speed =
10kph (up to 2nd gear)
• Available operating time
= 350min/shift for 3
shifts/day
• Loaded bucket maximum
capacity = 10 DMT

Other assumptions:
• 1st gear – driving speed for maneuvering
• 2nd gear – driving speed in production drifts
• No need to back out of draw point since the LHD will not enter the crosscuts anymore. Only
the buckets will maneuver towards the crosscuts.
• In maneuvering after loading, the turning angle of 42.5 degrees, and the average of the inner
and outer turning radius of 3.635m was used.
• In traveling to and from the dumping point, the average distance from drawpoint to ore passes
of 51.2m was used.
• Maneuvering in and out of the dumping point are done at 8.5m from the ore pass.
• Digging time is the same as the lifting of bucket.
