Narrow vein stopping
Roughstock provided management and technical services to the Fire Creek Mine in Northern Nevada. Steve Cutler acted as site General Manager for Fire Creek and advanced the site from a development project to a producing gold mine with production in excess of 10,000+ oz of gold per month. Roughstock filled technical roles in the geology and engineering departments and completed short, medium, and long-term mine plans, assisted in setting up a grade control system, and transitioned the mine to efficient cut and fill and resue mining with backfill. Roughstock personnel were also responsible for contractor oversight of both mining contractors and decline rehab contractors, and responsible for maintaining safety compliance, MHSA regulation compliance, and environmental compliance.
