This appraisal focuses on the Quarry located in the South-West Sector, assessing the conditions of Sector 3. Excavations are set to be extended over the upcoming production cycles, with bench heights of 10-12 meters and an overall slope angle of 45°, alongside a face angle of 23°. The bench width of approximately 30 meters facilitates efficient heavy machinery operations. Key hazards identified include dominant joint intersections with blasting patterns, secondary jointing at 35°, and potential rockfalls exacerbated by water runoff. Visual documentation of the sector is included.
