Shaft-sinking specialist awarded work at platinum mine

摘要

Additional shaft-sinking work was awarded early this year to international shaft-sinking and underground construction group Shaft Sinkers by platinum producer Lonmin for work at its existing Karee 3 upper group two (UG2) project, in Marikana, Rustenburg, in the North West. The Karee No 3 shaft UG2 decline will enable Lonmin workers to mine the UG2 reef on four levels, between levels 21 and 25. The sub-decline will balance the depletion of the Karee No 3 shaft from a production and mining efficiency point of view and will ensure continued availability of stope faces at the shaft.
