Narrative

Miners working in the 3536 identified a cold joint in the cemented rock fill. They halted work in the area and consulted with supervision and technical services. The recommendation was to use a 3yd jammer to scrape the back and try to bring down the cemented rock fill. The miners scraped the back with the jammer facilitating the fill coming down.
