Longwall Ventilation System

- Coal prone to spontaneous combustion- Utilizes “U” ventilation system- Ventilation provided to longwall face 20-25 m3/sec- Concrete seals are installed in crosscuts behind face

Longwall Gas Control

* Gob gas wells* 90m spacing along panel, 30m off TG* 450lps gas well pump capacity* Gas wells completed 5m above coal seam* Slotted steel pipe casing

Automated Monitoring System (AMS)

Infrastructure

Automated Monitoring System (AMS) – The main objective of the AMS is to monitor in real time the gas concentration in the working faces and other mine areas such as conveyor belts and returns, safe guarding the personnel’s integrity and mine infrastructure.

The most common measured gases in coal mining are: Methane (Ch4), Carbon Monoxide (CO), CO-Smoke for conveyor belts, among several others.

The system can shut down electrical power to a mine section once the concentration goes above the configured value; the same applies to conveyor belts. This is accomplished by programming the system with the maximum allowed values.

Mine evacuation alarms are also controlled via the Automated Monitoring System.

Mine Control Room – Personnel are available all shifts to monitor the gas measurements in the mine. Feedback is given to supervisors about the mine gases concentrations and actions are taken accordingly.

Historical Underground Mine Production Micare Unit

Page 13: Mine VII Micare Unit Minera del Norte S.A de C. V.

4M Tonne Annual Production Strategy

- Increase capacity of coal conveyance- Rebuild Existing or purchase new equipment- Skilled Personnel- Have available 4 Sets longwall equipment- Maintain 2 Operating Longwalls- Mine 4 Longwall panel per year

Page 14: Mine VII Micare Unit Minera del Norte S.A de C. V.

- Unexpected Geology Faults- 5 to 15 meters throw- Changing orientation- Narrowing long wall width- Spliting of Long Wall panel- Weak and stressed fault zone- Slow down roadgate development- Increase Long Wall moves- Excesive wear of equipment

4 MM T Production Constraints

Negotiating Faults in Longwall Panels

Page 17: Mine VII Micare Unit Minera del Norte S.A de C. V.

Timely Fault Detection for Mine Planning- Reduce the size of the exploration grid (increased drilling)- Utilize seismic detection methods

Decrease Longwall Move Duration Times- Acquire spare components/parts in advance- Increase gateroad development rates- Increase productivity- Increase number of roadheader units- Reduce roof support cost- Rebuild equipment in-house
