New ramp connection to the surface completed

New ramp connection to the surface completed
Today, on 20 March, the two ramps that were developed from opposite directions
met, thus forming a new, continuous 1800 metre-long connection between the
surface and the 230-metre level.
The new ramp is a crucial component in improving logistics in the mine. The ramp
is a prerequisite for an early production start as it will initially be used for
truck-borne iron ore transportation to the surface and sorting plant.
Once the new ore skip is operational, the ramp will mainly be used for
transporting personnel, materials and machinery. The ramp is a key component in
achieving the planned production volume of 1.5 million tonnes of finished
product in the first quarter of 2013.
The present ramp connection between the surface and the 230-metre level, the
Ströms ramp, will eventually be phased out as its design makes it ineffective
and its location means that its function as a transport route cannot be
guaranteed.
