The introduction of extra low profile equipment in narrow reef (1,2 m) stoping operations showed the potential to add more value than conventional mining ad low profile (1,8 m) room and pillar methods The application of the extra low profile equipment is possible not just in the platinum mines, but also in similarly designed gold mining pits.

Abstract: An estimated 90 percent of South Africa’s gold-bearing reefs are less than 1 m thick Joughin (1976) A large mineral resource therefore lies in seams that are becoming increasingly uneconomic to extract because of the grade dilution caused by raising the mining height to suit currently available mechanized mining equipment Harper (2008).
