    This paper discusses the progress of the Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) copper mine in Indonesia from its pre-feasibility study in 2005 through the start of production in late 2015. The DMLZ represents approximately 500 million tonnes of ore located 500 meters below an existing mine, and will include 1,900 drawpoints to extract up to 80,000 tonnes of ore per day. The paper reviews the mine design, construction activities, and technical challenges overcome from 2008 to 2015, culminating in the initiation of caving and start of production in late 2015.

    ABSTRACT
    This paper discusses the progress of the Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) mine from the pre-feasibility study
    completed in 2005, through commencement of development access in 2008, completion of the feasibility in
    2010 and cave initiation in late 2015. This fourth lift of caving in the East Ertsberg Skarn System (EESS) is
    located 500 m below the currently producing Deep Ore Zone mine and represents approximately half a
    billion tonnes of ore and around 1,900 planned drawpoints, scheduled to be mined at a peak of 80,000 tpd.
    The paper reviews the mine design, access requirements, the planned footprint sequence and major fixedfacility installations such as ventilation, oreflow and shops. A discussion of the pre-production development
    and construction activities and some of the critical technical challenges overcome during this time frame are
    addressed as well as the cave initiation process undertaken in late 2015 and the ramp-up of production and
    progression of caving.
