San Xavier Mine West Portal Expansion

Project number
24075
Organization
San Xavier Mining Laboratory
Academic year
2023-2024
The San Xavier Mine in Sahuarita, Arizona, requires a new portal expansion to the underground 150-ft level (vertical) at a maximum decline grade of 15%. The project sponsor requests a multistep process to decide the portal expansion's location and structure. A 70,000 square meter area will be surveyed using magnetics and resistivity data to determine the optimal location and structure of the new portal and decline. Following the interpretation of the collected geophysical data, the sponsor requests the team determine the design for the potential portal expansion on the Western side of the San Xavier Mine.

SME Metallic Student Design Competition, 2023-2024, Deep Rock Geologic

Project number
24074
Organization
UA Department of Mining and Geological Engineering
Academic year
2023-2024
The Metallic Design Team will prepare an Order of Magnitude report as identified in the Scope of Work. The Metallic Design Competition has one guaranteed deliverable with a second deliverable potentially due upon favorable evaluation from the first deliverable. We will refer to the first deliverable as Phase 1 (the Order of Magnitude Study) and Phase 2 (a second project building on the terms of the first deliverable). Phase 1 will begin on September 30th, 2023 and
will last 21 days before concluding on October 21st, 2023.
