1 Surface Teleremote Operation Dion Hurn Haulage Supervisor, Mining August 22, 2011

2 Background Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 2

3 Background Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 3 Underground Teleremote Operation  Previously in place at Cannington Mine.  Operator was 200 – 300 metres from operating machinery.  Operator was still underground and exposed to hazards.

4 The Initiative Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 4 The Projects Team began discussing the possibility of building on the existing site Teleremote Capabilities. Major step in protecting employee health and increasing safety.

5 The Solution Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 5 Initial investigations  An external organisation was consulted.  The vendor was provided with concerns and requirements for development of a Surface Teleremote Operation.

6 The Solution Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 6 Implementation  Phase 1 - underground loaders were operated from the surface mining administration building.  Phase 2 - introduction of a guidance system.

7 The Solution Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 7 The Surface Teleremote Operator was developed with:  a wireless control system  distributed antenna infrastructure. The system includes a power supply health monitoring circuit with a battery back up.

8 The Solution Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 8

9 The Solution Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 9 Cost  Development and installation of the initial system and console: $227,000.  Additional consoles: $167,000.  Benefit of increased productivity as operations can continue through blasting.

10 The Solution Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 10

11 Benefits/ Effects Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 11

12 Benefits/ Effects Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 12

13 Transferability Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 13  Custom designed system.  Potential to continue to revolutionise an inherently dangerous work environment.  The system can and has already been adopted in various surface mine operations.

14 Innovation Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 14  The innovation sets a leading example of improving relationships with individuals, departments and external contractors.  System unique to Cannington.  Best practice remote technology.

15 Innovation Dion Hurn, Haulage Supervisor, Mining, August 22, 2011 Slide 15  First step in taking people out of underground mining environment.  Efficient operation still functioning in underground environment.  Inherent risk reduced dramatically.  Modified an existing system to enable safe production.  Improves and enhances our Teleremote fleet capabilities.
