Typically twin boom Jumbo based mining development Decline access is common Reasonably shallow mining compared to other parts of the world Fast Jumbo will scale, scale drill & install ground support, support bore face Safe minimal exposure to unsupported ground
Practices adopted for Jumbo use in Australia Larger drive sizes & excavations (typically 5.5 x 5.5mtr) Use of split feed booms One pass ground support is the aim Larger hole sizes 45mm for friction bolts 35mm + for resin bolts Modified resin bolts for mixing
20mm Thread bar Posimix bolt versus standard 20mm Thread bar in 35mm hole
Primary Support (Temporary Drives or Access Tunnels) Mesh as surface support (3.0 x 2.4mtr, 5.6mm wire, 100mm aperture) 47mm x 2400mm Friction bolts
Primary Support (Permanent Access) In-cycle FRS Mesh as surface support (5.6mm wire, 100mm aperture) Resin R i encapsulated l t d solid lid bolts b lt 20 x 2400 2400mm P Posimix i i b bolts lt 2mtr x 30mm Two Speed Resin Sometimes 47mm friction bolts

1. Drill & blast using twin boom Jumbo (3.5 to 4.5mtr rounds) 2. Muck or bog the heading 3. Mechanical scaling using Jumbo 4 Clean up 4. 5. Mesh & friction bolt Or 6. Shotcrete 7. Resin bolt using Jumbo 8 Repeat cycle (8 to 9 hours to complete cycle) 8.
Resin insertion tubes (Quick-chem) One pass resin bolting with twin boom Jumbo
Mesh Xpress plate Used to join mesh sheets after blasting Used to rehabilitate damaged mesh Avoids A id re-installing i t lli ground d support t Cost saving to the mine
39mm stubby friction bolts Installed inside a 47mm bolt to join mesh Saves installing full length bolts Large L cost t saving i to t the th mine i
200 & 225mm Dome Plates Larger surface area covering damaged mesh Can replace a 300 x 280mm butterfly or dragonfly (combi) plate One O plate l t instead i t d of f two t Less inventory Cost saving to the mine
Star Plates Replaces an 8mm dome plate with 5mm star Light weight & less expensive Safer S f round d edges d Version 2 200mm plate coming soon
