CONCLUSIONS
Study revealed increase in output yield
with increase in bucket size
Maximum yield corresponds to v 1.3
(dragline load = 182 tonnes or payload of
116 tonnes) as opposed to current
payload of 74 tonnes
Shutdown interval will need to be
reduced from 43680 usage hours to 25000
usage hours (or 4.1 calendar years)
