Roughstock Mining completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for a major silver producer in northern Idaho. The project included 3-D design of transverse and longitudinal long hole stopes, and cut and fill stopes utilizing an existing block model. It also included development design of primary ramps, secondary access, support cut-outs (sumps, electrical cut-outs, etc.). The study also included design of mine infrastructure including vertical ore and waste passes, ventilation passes, backfill infrastructure (sand and paste), and underground utilities.
