Description
In shallow deposits the oxidised material is often soft enough to be removed by excavators or back-hoes. With increasing depth the rocks are harder and it becomes necessary to drill and blast before excavating. Large tip-trucks carry the ore and waste to the surface stockpiles. B&W photo showing a small battery powered tip truck used underground to transport ore to the surface for processing.
