Nieuwpoort B Mine
Nieuwpoort 516 KQ farm.
At B Mine, the mineralization is in the form of well defined, continuous, steeply dipping lodes and secondary unconformable flat-dipping mineralization along fractures.
The steeply dipping lodes are associated with the South Parallel Fault, which is one of the main structural features on the Rooiberg properties. The main levels are nominally 30 m apart, but there are several variations throughout the mine. All the levels are equipped with 450 mm gauge tracks.
Stoping on the steeply dipping lodes is by standard shrinkage-mining methods at a dip between 50 and 70 degrees. The stope width varies, but averages around 1,5 m. The secondary flatly dipping mineralization is extracted by block-mining methods.
The lowest level on the mine is about 440 m below surface. The mine is served by an inclined shaft licensed for the hoisting of men and rock, and by sub-incline winzes for intermediate rock hoisting.
The ore is transported approximately 10 km by road to the concentrator at A Mine.
