Abstract
| Paper written on project work carried out in partial fulfilment of Technikon Practical Training Frank shaft is mining both Merensky reef and UG2 reef. The Merensky orebody is almost depleted and this was the reason for starting to mine the UG2 ore reserves.

The T-cut mining method was introduced to see if it could improve the grade of the run of mine (ROM) as well the extraction percentage. |
