Pillars

There are around 1,000 pillars similar to this one left in the mine. Many contain significant quantities of high grade ore (the black band on this one contains around 45% Zn). We intend to remove a significant proportion of the pillars not needed for the roof support and recover around 1 million tons of high grade ore.
