Airly Mine – Subsidence Monitoring

• The subsidence monitoring line over the 121 Panel was

installed during February 2017.

• Pillar monitoring in 121 Panel under the subsidence line

was also during February 2017

• Extraction in this area will be later in 2017
• Quotes are being sourced for photogrammetry survey

Historically: Five (5) sites have been undermined: 45-1-2746 (Artefact Scatter) - Dec 2010 45-1-2763 (Artefact Scatter) – Mar 2011 45-1-2761 (Shelter) – Jul 2011 45-1-2762 (Artefact Scatter) – Sep 2015 45-1-2748 (Isolated Find) – May 2017

• No mining related disturbance to any site.

Previous 6 Months: One site (45-1-2748) was undermined; monitoring inspections were carried out as per the ACHMP Upcoming 6 Months: Nil Low level subsidence and tilt as a result of mining, does not pose a risk of harm to these sites Fencing activities completed to help mitigate against potential harm
