UNDERGROUND COPPER PROJECT
MINING FEASIBILITY STUDY IN ALASKA
Feasibility Study (FS) - Underground Copper Mine - Alaska
Drilling in the Ambler District
Roughstock was contracted to complete a Feasibility Study (FS) for a major Copper discovery in North-Central Alaska. The study included primary and secondary development of underground mine design, stope design, and infrastructure design for a planned 5,000 ton/day mine. Design work
and Life-of-Mine scheduling
was completed in Deswik Software. Primary development included a decline from surface, tie into existing shaft, and multiple ramp systems to the different ore-bodies. Mining methods included transverse long-hole stopes & cut and fill stopes.

Property procurement, exploration, permitting, and startup
Deswik, Vulcan, Trimble
Rough Stock was contacted by a client that wished to start their own placer mine. RMS located productive ground, assisted client with due diligence & purchase of property. Startup efforts are currently underway, including permitting, contractor vetting, and equipment purchases. Utilizing existing drilling data, RMS built a block model and designed a placer pit that maximized the pit size and minimized impacts to wetlands as per permitting requirements. This maximizes the impact of the clients capital invested in the first year of operations.
