摘要

Moab Khotsong is planned to be among the deepest shafts in the world and is the deepest shaft in the Vaal River Basin, which is situated approximately 180 kilometres southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. The mine is designed to exploit the Vaal Reef package, which is sited at 2 400 m to 3 200 m below surface, within the Moab Khotsong lease area. Several other mines in the vicinity are currently mining the Vaal Reef at depths of 1 300 m to 2 330 m below surface. Moab Khotsong is a single bratticed shaft, with a diameter of 10.75 m and a single drop from surface down to 3 132 m, making Moab Khotsong the longest single drop shaft in the world. The sinking of the shaft had its own set of unique problems, which have been dealt with in separate publications. The tunnels towards the ore reserves traverse several different rock types ranging from hangingwall quartzite with uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values of 200 to 260 MPa, to footwall quartzite with an average UCS of 172 MPa. Tunnels have also been mined through various formations of shale with UCS varying from a high of 155 MPa down to 83 MPa. Virgin stress levels range from 71 MPa at 85 level, which is 2 604 m below surface, to 83 MPa on 101 level, which is 3 054 m below surface. A broad-base classification of a deep-level mine is one in which the virgin stress levels approach or exceed half of the UCS of the host rock; and quite clearly Moab Khotsong can be classified as a deep-level gold mine.
