The key objectives set by the MRA include, maintaining a deviation of less than 2m from the planned location, effectively screening and sealing overlying aquifers, and mitigating risks of mine water pollution.

Planning Information

The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) are continuously seeking ways to improve our projects. In the past our delivery partners have drilled a piolet hole first using wireline coring system to maintain the verticality. A significant risk is the potential for the roadway to differ from expectations, which could lead to missing the intended target. However, this method offers the flexibility to re-drill to an alternative target at minimal additional cost. We would greatly value your feedback on this proposed approach or a suitable approach to minimise risk and cost of Drilling BH.
