(mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Section Resource Engineering Date 2010-10-06 Abstract Kidd Mine has a production target of 2.5 million tonnes of ore per year in 2010. Seventy-five stopes are turned over to the next stope in order to achieve this annual production. Each turnover from stope to stope has an anticipated number of days based on the geomechanical relation between them. Due to the depth and size of the operation, it is crucial that this turnover takes place within the anticipated time to avoid delays in the mining sequence and cycle and set-backs in production. Currently delays in the stope turnover occur, this is called stope slippage. This thesis describes the occurrence and size of stope slippage in longhole mining, presents a system to identify and track the root causes of stope slippage and ranks the root causes of stope slippage at Kidd Mine. A flowchart was created to present the system of identifying and ranking root causes of stope slippage.
