5hareholder,

This is the companies view of Far West mining operations,

The underground mining method selected is overhand benching and utilises conventional underground mechanised mining practices. This is the same stoping method used currently at the West 45 underground mine. The stoping sequence is based on mining bottom-up from two set horizons, one of which will be filled with cemented rockfill and the remaining stope voids will be filled with rockfill. The selected mining method is considered well suited to the disposition of the orebody and ground conditions; it is also flexible to enable ready adjustments to stope strike lengths as needed.


This is slightly different from your view.....further to that it is my understanding that the eastern orebody (the right side of the first spiral decline) can be developed in the given timeframe for the full block to be developed bottom up and independent of the main ore body.
