Mining Footprints Glencore Xstrata Bulga Pilot 20150203

Brief description

## **Abstract**

This data and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are represented here as originally supplied:



\\*Glencore have committed to assisting the DoW with their Bioregional Assessment Program.

\\*This assistance involves the provision of 'Mined Out' surfaces and polygons for both Underground and Open Cut operations across the business.

\\*The Bulga Complex was nominated as the pilot site, and the nature of the data provided for the Bulga Complex has been detailed in this presentation.

\\*The Bulga complex is made up of both underground and surface operations.

\\*The Underground operations extract coal using longwall methods, and target 5 primary seam horizons: Whybrow, Blakefield, Glen Munro, and Woodlands Hill.

\\*The Bulga Open Cut reserves are spilt into 2 broad categories, current approved mining reserves (Main and Bayswater Pits), and Bulga Optimisation Project (BOP) reserves (East and East Extension Pits).

Please see power point presentation included in Data folder:



The data has been provided at the following:\t\t

1.Full Life of Mine Plans for both OC & UG at 5 yearly increments\t\t

»Year End 2012 (this is Actual data)\t\t

»Year End 2017\t\t

»Year End 2022\t\t

2.Currently approved mine plans:\t\t

»For Bulga OC, the 2015 surface represents the completion of Main Pit\t\t

»For Bulga UG, all surfaces provided represent the currently approved Mine Plan (Blakefield, Glen Munro and Woodlands Hill Seams)
