1 Location In-Pit Lowwall Dump Design and Stability at Mt Owen Mine Wayne Bartlett Senior Engineering Geologist Mt Owen Complex Overview In the past Mt Owen Mine lowwall dumps have failed. Lowwall dumps are integral to the mining process at Mt Owen. Important considerations in the management of lowwall dumps include; ~ dump design, ~ monitoring of slope movement and ~ management of the risk to personnel. Mining Method Mine Layout 1

3 Folding and Faulting Coal Seams Product Coal is thermal and semi-soft coking coal for supply to the export markets. Up to 11 coal seams are mined in Mt Owen. Some seams consist of up to 6 splits, splits greater than 0.4m and partings less than 0.4m are mined. The mined seams at Mt Owen include; ~ Lemington Seams, ~ Pikes Gully Seams, ~ Arties Seams, ~ Upper Liddell Seams, ~ Middle Liddell Seams, ~ Lower Liddell Seams, ~ Barrett Seams, ~ Upper Hebden Seams and ~ Lower Hebden Seams. 400mm Splits March 2008 June 2008 September

6 December 2011 March 2012 June 2012 September 2012 Lowwall Stability In-Pit Lowwall Dump Design and Stability at Mt Owen Mine Lowwall dumping is necessary to minimise truck hauls and make use of available dump space. Due to the mine turning a corner there is limited dump space available. Dumping on a lowwall with a dip of up to 22 degrees. 6
7 Factor of Safety Factors Influencing Stability Stability analysis is an assessment of the factors driving failure and the factors that resist failure. Stability of a slope is referred to as a Factor of Safety (FoS). FoS = Factors Resisting Failure Factors Driving Failure Material Properties; ~ Cohesion, the strength required to shear rock and soil, ~ Angle of friction, the angle at which material will shear causing failure, and ~ Weight of material. Rock mass characteristics, discontinuities, faults Water and piezometric level Geometry of the slope Slope Stability Analysis Slope Stability Analysis Slope Stability Analysis Factors Decreasing Stability GALEA Version 5.01 Upper XW Rock & Soil Fr Rock normal Spoil Cat.2U Spoil Cat.2S Clay Band LHB Residual Fr Coal Analysis: 4 Single Stability Analysis Method: Sarma Surface: on-circular Over steepening of slope. ~ Removal of material at the toe.

8 Slope Monitoring Monitoring is installed so that we can monitor deformation to better understand the and predict failure. Automated Prism Monitoring Monitors prism movement. Measures prisms 2 or 3 times a day. Triggers alarms when thresholds are exceeded. Slope Stability Radar B6 Lowwall TARP Measures sub millimetre deformation of a slope. Scans a slope approximately every 2 to 8 minutes. Triggers alarms when thresholds are exceeded. Close to real-time alerts when movement exceeds thresholds. Low wall Conditions: L1 Green Existence of minor long term cracks. AD/OR Low wall monitoring is showing <10mm/day or 0.4mm/hr convergence. AD/OR Deceleration path in low wall monitoring over two weeks. L2 Yellow Opening of existing long term and development of new tensional cracks around low wall crest. AD/OR Development of isolated floor heave. AD/OR Low wall monitoring showing >10mm/day and < 180mm/day or 7.5mm/hour over a 12 hour period. AD/OR L3 Orange Rapid opening and slumping of cracks around low wall crest or toe. AD/OR Rapid onset of floor heave. AD/OR Isolated movement of low wall material. AD/OR Low wall monitoring showing > 7.5mm/hour and < 15mm/ hour over a 12 hour period. L4 Red Failure of low wall. AD/OR Imminent failure of low wall indicated by Rapid opening of cracks, floor heave, constant movement of spoil material. AD/OR Low wall monitoring showing > 15mm/hour increase in rate over a 12-hour period. Consistent acceleration path in low wall monitoring showing over 1 week. Rapid acceleration path in low wall monitoring showing over 1 week B4 Lowwall Failure 2005 B4 Lowwall Failure 8

Automated monitoring make it possible to analyse slope movement regularly and update the TARP level. Slope stability assessments, buttress and dump design are constantly updated to maintain stability as mining proceeds. 13
