Newcrest's Cadia East Breaks Through to Surface

摘要

Newcrest Mining reported in late October that its Cadia East panel cave mine in New South Wales had reached a major milestone with the safe propagation of Panel Cave 1 through to surface, significantly ahead of expectations. The propagation connects the broken rock of the cave to the surface, reducing production risk and increasing draw flexibility. The breakthrough means production becomes less constrained, providing more flexible ore extraction.
