The tramming crew was supposed to collect a small shovelful from the top of each mine car and combine them into one composite sample that represented all the cars hauled from each mining area (stope, raise or drift), sometimes up to 15 or 20 t of ore. In the 1990s, Inco took advantage of incentives from Ontario Power Generation and Ontario Hydro by installing motion sensors for lighting and developing a program that compensates for extra electricity usage through processes such as ventilation, compressed air, hoisting and tramming ore. |
