ContactByrnecut provided underground decline and level development services to Newcrest Mining for the Ridgeway Deeps underground mine from April 2005 to January 2006. Ridgeway Deeps was part of the Cadia Valley Operations. The contract works were successfully completed in early 2006, when Newcrest decided to continue operations under an owner
Contact2021-3-25 Full scale marker experiments were designed and implemented at the Ridgeway Deeps block cave mine from March 2008 to October 2010. The experiments aimed at quantifying and assessing the geometry of the extraction zone, development of the extraction zone over time, variability of flow behaviour, and factors affecting flow behaviour in both the near and far field
Contact2016-5-9 Initial marker experiments were undertaken in the Ridgeway sublevel cave (RW) (2002), and subsequently at Ridgeway Deeps (RWD) (2008) and Cadia East PC1 (CEPC1) (2012) block caves. Over 25 000 markers have been installed at the three caving operations to date (approximately 20 000, 3000 and 2500 for RW, RWD and CEPC1 respectively).
ContactThe Ridgeway deposit is a higher grade Au-rich alkalic porphyry deposit. Copper-gold bearing quartz veins are centered on small (50-100 m diameter) multiphase monzonitic ‘pencil’ porphyries and hosted in an Ordovician volcano sedimentary succession. The known vertical extent of the mineralized system is 1,100 m, with the top of the ore zone
ContactThe Ridgeway Deeps Lift 1 block cave operation was mined between 2007 and 2015 and was Newcrest’s first block cave operation. The change to block caving was introduced after the identification that the grade profile for Ridgeway was declining to the point where subsequent SLC levels below the 5040 mRL were uneconomic.
