1. INTRODUCTION
I
This report details the findings of a geotechnical investigation carried out at the site of a
I proposed hard rock quarry, located 3 km east of Sutton.

I The study was carried out at the request of R W Corkery & Co Pty Ltd (RWC), acting on behalf
of Tiocliff Pty Ltd, and included the following components:

I geological mapping of the site and environs;

diamond core drilling at locations determined in discussion with RWC;
seismic refraction traversing;
I review of previous investigation and materials testing;
laboratory testing of crushed core samples;
I reporting.

I It is proposed to use material won from the quarry for road construction purposes and concrete
aggregates.

I For the purposes of the investigation, a 1:2500 scale contour plan of the proposed quarry area

I and environs was provided by RWC.

2. SITE DESCRIPTION, GEOLOGY AND BACKGROUND

2.1 Site Description

The proposed quarry is located on the rural property 'Paeroa", 3 km east of the village of
Sutton, with an access road from the Old Federal Highway.

The area includes two easterly trending ridges, (subsequently described in this report as
southern and northern ridges) with crest levels 766 m (AHD) and 783 m (AHD) separated by an
easterly trending valley floor with elevations lying between approximately 700 m (AHD) and
740 m (AHD) (Drawing 1). Small tributary gullies extend into the mid and upper slopes of each
ridge.

Natural slopes of up to 32°, but generally 15° - 20°, characterise the mid and upper ridge
flanks, while slopes of as little as 20 are present within the valley floor area.

The proposed quarry area is currently used for cattle grazing and includes areas of sparse to
moderate density of tree and shrub cover.

At the time of the site investigation in October 1994, only minor water seepage was observed
in the base of the incised (1 - 5 m) gullies which are present within sections of the valley floor.
Elsewhere no seepage was noted, however, discussions with the land owner indicated that
surface seepage (and resulting baggy conditions) may develop even on the higher slopes
following prolonged rainfall.

Photographic plates providing additional information on site conditions are included in

Appendix A.

2.2 Site Geology

Reference to the Canberra 1:100 000 Geological Series Sheet indicates that the site is located
within a zone of contact metamorphism adjacent to the Sutton Granodiorite. The
metamorphosed rocks were originally deposited during the Ordovician Age (the Pittman
Formation), and in the general area these rocks include greywackes, sandstones, slates,

PROPOSED HARD ROCK QUARRY Project 20322 - May 1996

Geotechnscs - Environment. Groundwater

I cherts, limestones and quartzites. Within the contact metamorphism zone the rocks of the
Pittman Formation have typically been altered to hornfels

I
2.3 Background

A preliminary site investigation, comprising a single bore (designated BQ2) drilled at the ridge
I crest approximately 150 m south of the currently proposed quarry, was carried out on behalf of
Tiocliff Pty Ltd in 1989. Crushed core from the bore was tested for a limited range of concrete

I aggregate parameters. Details of these investigations are included where appropriate.

It is noted that the location of Bore BQ2 shown on the drawing supplied by Tiocliff Pty Ltd is
some 800 m east of the actual drilled location.

I
3. FIELD WORK METHODS

I 3.1 Geological Mapping

The surface features and exposures evident in the proposed quarry site and environs were
mapped by a senior engineering geologist on 24 and 25 October 1994, and included
measurements of natural slopes and the dip and strike of joints and bedding within the rock.

The location of structural and stratigraphic features were determined by tape measurement
I and compass bearings from features shown on the supplied 1:2500 scale contour plan, a
section of which has been included in Drawing 1.

1 3.2 Test Bores

Five vertical bores were drilled within the proposed quarry site using a truck-mounted site
investigation drilling rig owned and operated by Ground Test Pty Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Douglas Partners Pty Ltd (DP). The bores were drilled at the locations agreed by

I
PROPOSED HARD ROCK QUARRY Project 20322 - May 1996

I SUTTON
 Page4ofl8 I

Douglas Partners
Geotechn,cs . Environment - Groundwater
I

DP and RWC to depths ranging from 11.9 m to 31.5 m. The test bore locations are shown on
Drawing 1.

The bores were drilled through overburden soils using continuous spiral flight augers, then
continued into bedrock using HQ diamond drilling techniques to recover 63 mm diameter core.
On receipt of the core at the DP Sydney office, geological logs (test bore reports) were
prepared by an experienced engineering geologist who also photographed the core and
carried out Point Load Index strength testing on selected rock samples.

3.3 Seismic Refraction Survey

A seismic refraction survey comprising seven traverses (a total of thirteen, 55 m long spreads,
designated Traverses 1 - 7) was carried out on 27 & 28 October 1994 at locations selected on
the basis of the results of geological mapping. The orientations of individual traverses were
generally selected to run perpendicular to the closest observed bedding strike so as to
maximise correlation between seismic velocity distribution and adjacent bores, and to
investigate the maximum possible stratigraphic section. Areas of joint block cover were
particularly targeted, with the aim of determining a suitable area for initial quarry operations.

Seismic records were obtained with a 12 channel EG & G Geometrics ES1225 signal
enhancement seismograph with 10 Hz vertical component geophones placed at 5 m intervals
to detect seismic signals. The signals were created at five source points per spread by
repeated sledge hammer blows. Source point offsets of up to 22Y2 m from the ends of
individual spreads were employed.

The recorded seismic signals were generally of fair to good quality and were transferred from
the seismograph to a Toshiba T1000SE portable computer for digital storage and processing
using the SEISVIEW program. In some cases, particularly in far offset source points where
data was captured during heavy rainfall, the field data is regarded as being of poor quality.

The locations and levels of points along the traverses were interpolated from topographic
mapping supplied for the investigation. The locations of seismic traverses and adjacent bores
are included on Drawing 1.

1 4. FIELD WORK RESULTS

1 4.1 Geological Mapping

The geological mapping of the proposed quarry site indicated a variable stratigraphic
I sequence, the distribution of lithologies and outcrop being shown on Drawing 1.

A significant proportion of the valley floor area and adjacent lower to middle ridges is overlain
by alluvium and colluvium comprising highly variable mixtures of sandy silt and silty sand, clay
and gravel. In gully exposures the alluvium ranged to depths of 4 m.

The ridge crests and sections of the lower and middle flanks included areas of joint block
I
concentration and minor bedrock outcrops, locally forming 20% - 40% of the ground surface.
Within the floor and lower walls of the main easterly trending gully, bedrock was exposed
I discontinuously and totalled approximately 50% of the gully length (Drawing 1).

I The principal lithologies observed at surface comprised:

GRANODIORITE - coarse grained biotite granodiorite (Sutton Granodiorite) occurred as

I isolated tors lying approximately 50 m west of the proposed quarry area. Associated
with the granodiorite were quartz and pegmatite veins which extended at least 250 m
from the mapped or inferred granodiorite boundary
I

. HORNFELS - significant variation in parent lithology and the resultant metamorphic

I rocks were indicated by the mapping. The principal parent lithologies were assessed as
being quartzite, fine to medium grained muddy sandstone, sandy mudstone, laminite
I and cherty sandstone.

I The contact metamorphism, that is the heating and resulting recrystallisation of the
sedimentary rocks by the intruding magna of the granodiorite, has produced hornfels

1 ranging from biotite rich quartzite (particularly adjacent to the granodiorite boundary) to
distinctly spotted (possibly by growth of cordierite mineralisation), micaceous rich
hornfels formed from mud-rich parent rocks located generally at greater distances from
I the granodiorite (heat source).

The high to very high strength horn fe/s exposed in outcrop on the ridge crests adjacent
I
to the granodiorite contact has provided an example of the weathering resistant nature
of the mat enal, hence an indirect measure of the durability of the material despite the
I
description of biotite within the rock composition.

The geological structure exposed within the area included: I

severe flexure of bedding, with observed northerly strike and dip ranging from 650 to
87° (predominantly westerly) in a zone extending approximately 250 m from the
granodiorite contact;

gentle to moderate flexure of bedding, with a general east-west strike and dip to the
south and southeast at 22° to 45° in the remainder of the area, with the exception of
local rotation about faults;

localised quartz veination up to 2 m in width, but generally less than 0.3 m in width,
throughout the area. The veins were particularly associated with faulting striking in the
range 1540 - 1900 (Magnetic). Veins were also observed striking approximately east-
west.

faulting and associated foliation of the rock mass, striking as noted above and being
characterised by tightly contorted bedding and rotation of the strike of bedding. In at
least three locations, faulting was collinear with sections of adjacent tributary gullies.

jointing of exposed bedrock was typically closely spaced (0.1 - 0.35 m) throughout the
area, with locally intense jointing and development of foliation (<0.01 m) about some
fa u Its.

The predominant joint directions observed are detailed below and shown diagrammatically on
Drawing 1 (Insert A).:

1 4.2 Test Bores

Details of the conditions encountered are shown on the test bore report sheets in Appendix B.
I
The terms used to describe the strata are defined in the general notes in Appendix A, together
with site photographs.

4.2.1 Ridge Crests & Flanks

I Bores 1, 2, 3 and 5 located on ridge crests or flanks penetrated a sequence comprising:

colluvial and residual clays and gravelly soil profiles ranging from 1.0- 1.8 m thick;

I a near surface, highly weathered, very low to medium strength hornfels zone ranging
from zero (Bore 1) to 3.3-5.1 m thick;
I

. a zone of moderately weathered hornfels with included highly weathered bands, being
I variously of medium to very high strength with very low strength bands, continuing to
depths of 8.9 - 15 m, which was in turn underlain by slightly weathered, high to very
I high strength hornfels to depths of 15 m to 18.6 m.

I • fresh hornfels (biotite quartzite) with ironstained joints with an average fracture spacing
generally less than 0.3 m, underlying the slightly weathered profile. Rock strength
ranged from high to extremely high classification, with the highest strength being
I
indicated (by limited testing) in Bores 1 and 2, that is, closest to the granodiorite
boundary.
1
Rock mass structure intersected by bores predominantly comprised joints dipping in the range
I 500 to 850, with a few examples at 0° - 200. Also present are quartz veins and a sheared zone
with associated extremely weathered rock in Bore 3 (11.56 m). Bore 3 lies along the line of

I strike of faulting observed in the main gully between mapping reference points G9 and 10.

1 4.2.2 Valley Floor

Bore 4, located in the northern section of the valley floor adjacent to the proposed Initial
Processing Area, penetrated a sequence comprising:
I alluvium to a depth of 8.75 m, with clay and some sand bands predominating in the
upper 5.9 m, overlying medium to coarse grained sand.

extremely to highly weathered, very low strength mudstone between 8.75 m and the
base of the bore at 11.9 m.

4.3 Seismic Refraction Results and Interpretation

Seismic first arrival times to each geophone were identified from stored data using SEISVIEW.
These arrival times were edited and plotted to form travel-time curves for each spread (for
details, see Appendix C) and interpreted, using computer methods (REFRACT) based on the
reciprocal-time method, in accordance with accepted practice. This method assumes a
subsurface consisting of irregular layers of increasing seismic velocity with depth.

The interpretations of the subsurface seismic P-wave distribution along Traverses 1 - 7 are
presented as seismic depth sections, including summary logs of adjacent bores (Drawings 2, 3
& 4). In the following interpretations, seismic velocities in excess of 1000 rn/s have been
correlated with fractured, moderately or less weathered rock within adjacent bores.

The traverses indicated either three or four distinguishable velocity layers.

4.3.1 Traverses 1 & 2

Intersecting Traverses 1 & 2 were located adjacent to the approximate eastern limit of the
proposed Southern Ridge Quarry and included minor zones of scattered joint blocks at surface.

The traverses (Drawing 2) indicated a 0.5 - 3 m deep, surface low velocity (440 - 520 m/s) zone
interpreted as representing colluvial and residual soil profiles. This was underlain variously by
one or two intermediate velocity (950 - 2000 m/s) layers interpreted as comprising highly
weathered, low strength, then moderately weathered, medium to very high strength, closely
fractured hornfe!s.

A high velocity (2600 - 4900 m/s) layer was indicated at depths of 5 - 20 m (between 690 m
(AHD) and 700 m (AHD) and is interpreted as representing slightly weathered and fresh (at
higher velocities) high to very high, and possibly extremely high strength hornfels. The
possibility of included more weathered bands is noted at the lower indicated velocities.

1 4.3.2 Traverses 3, 4 & 5

Traverses 3, 4 and 5 were run over the north facing flanks of the southern ridge, within the
proposed Southern Ridge Quarry, which included moderate areas of scattered joint block
I
cover.

The traverses (Drawings 2 & 3) indicated a 0.5 - 2 m deep, surface low velocity (400 - 625 m/s)
zone interpreted as comprising colluvial and residual soil with increasing content of near -
I in situ joint blocks at the upper end of the velocity range. This was underlain by one or two
intermediate velocity (900 - 1900 m/s) layers, indicated by adjacent Bores 2 and 3 as

I comprising highly and moderately weathered very low to high strength (banded with lower
strength material), closely fractured hornfels.

A high velocity (2100- 3200 m/s) layer was indicated at depths of 3 - 16 m which is interpreted
as generally comprising slightly weathered, high to very high strength, closely fractured
I hornfels. The higher observed velocities (3000 - 3200 m/s) were observed in Traverses 3 and
4 below approximate 705 m (AHD) and may indicate fresh rock and/or saturation from inflow
I from the adjacent gully.

1 4.3.3 Traverse 6
Traverse 6 (Drawing 4) was run to investigate subsurface conditions in a broad saddle within
the southern ridge line in the southwestern corner of the proposed Southern Ridge Quarry.

The traverse indicated a 0.5 - 3 m deep, surface low velocity (360 - 750 m/s) layer, interpreted
I as representing clayey residual soil with an increasing joint block content at the upper end of
the velocity range. This was underlain by an intermediate velocity (1150 - 1750 m/s) layer
I interpreted as generally comprising moderately weathered, high strength hornfels with bands or
zones of very low to low strength material.

A high velocity (2400 - 2800 m/s) layer was indicated at depths of 4 - 11 m. The distribution of

I velocities is interpreted as indicating closely fractured, moderately to slightly weathered to

fresh, very high strength closely fractured hornfels present at the western end of the traverse
(Distance 140 - 155 m), and continuing to Bore 1 at Distance 177% m.

4.3.4 Traverse 7
Traverse 7 was run on the lower, south facing slopes of the ridge line within the proposed
Northern Ridge Quarry.

The traverse indicated a 1 - 2 m deep surface low velocity (340 - 540 m/s) layer, interpreted as
comprising colluvial and residual soils. This was underlain by an intermediate velocity (1300 -
1900 m/s) layer interpreted as comprising highly and moderately weathered, low to high
strength hornfels.

A high velocity (3300 - 3900 m/s) layer was indicated at depths of 5 m to 12 m and is
interpreted as predominantly comprising slightly weathered and fresh, high to very high
strength hornfels.

4.4 Groundwater

No free groundwater was observed during augering in bores. Drilling fluid used during
diamond core drilling precluded observation of inflow in the remaining sections of the bores. It
is, however, noted that substantial drilling water loss occurred at depth in all bores indicating
open joints and generally well drained conditions, which may explain the relatively low seismic
velocities associated with even high strength materials. Minor seepage was noted from the
base of the alluvium intersected by the main, east-west trending gully.

At the completion of drilling, all bores were capped to prevent stock injury which will preclude
future monitoring of the bores.

5. LABORATORY TESTING

A representative range of core specimens of hornfels were tested in the laboratory for
determination of point load strength index. The results are summarised in Table 1, and are
shown at relevant positions on test bore reports (Appendix B).

Laboratory index testing comprising bulk particle density and water absorption, sodium

I within the region.

I A review of laboratory test results from operating quarries (supplied by Tiocliff Pty Ltd) was

The results (Table 2), when compared to the specification requirements of AS2758.1-1985
"Aggregates and Rock for Engineering Purposes - Part 1 Concrete Aggregate", indicate
compliance with the specification limits with the exception of one subtest (water absorption,
Bore 2 sample from 4. 1 - 10. 1 m).

As a result of the crushing of these samples in a laboratory jaw crusher, some of the results
from moderately and slightly weathered rock indicate values at the upper end of the
specification requirements. It/s anticipated that a production blasting, crushing and screening
operation would reduce the volume content of material from weaker seams within the finished
products.

Preliminary testing of crushed hornfels from Bore BQ2 (0 - 6 m) was carried out on behalf of
Tiocliff Pty Ltd during 1989.

Test results are also included in Appendix D and indicate that the hornfels sample derived from
close to the granodiorite contact (approximately 50 - 60 m in the case of Bore BQ2) satisfied
water absorption (coarse aggregate), bulk density and Los Angeles Value requirement
(AS2758.1-1985) and are similar to results obtained during the current study. The tested
sample did not fully satisfy requirements for particle size grading, although this may result from
laboratory crushing techniques.

6. COMMENTS

1 6.1 Proposed Development

It is understood that a hard rock quarry is proposed within the rural property 'Paeroa', 3 km east
of the village of Sutton (see Drawing 1), to supply road base and concrete aggregates to the
local market.
I

6.2 Material Types and Uses

I Investigations to date have identified significant variation in the parent lithologies and resulting
contact metamorphic rocks within the limits of the proposed quarry and the weathering profiles
developed on these rocks.
I

' It is anticipated that ridge lines adjacent to the granodiorite contact would supply the highest
strength and most durable materials (when fresh) suitable for use in concrete aggregate (as
per testing of Bore 2 samples). In the context of this report the ridge lines adjacent to the

I granodiorite contact include at least the interval between the contact and the most remote bore
(Bore 3).

I The index testing carried out indicated overall slightly 'better' quality material at Bore 1 closest
to the contact, but also indicates that materials from the more distant Bores 2 and 5
I (approximately 400 m from the contact with the granodiorite), fall well within the Australian
Standard specification.

Geo(achnics - Environment- Groundwater I

High biotite concentrations in the rock (biotite quartzite) will require further laboratory based
assessment to confirm the visual assessment that even biotite rich materials adjacent to the
contact are erosion and weathering resistant

In respect to possible use as a sealing aggregate, the quartzite should be tested particularly for
abrasion resistance and bitumen sorption ability, which may be problematic in quartz rich rocks.

Significant depths (typically 12 m - 15 m) of moderately to slightly weathered, high to very high

strength hornfels will remain overlying the fresh rock surfaces after stripping of soils and the
highly weathered profiles. This material includes localised zones of extremely and highly
weathered material, probably resulting from deep penetration of weathering along fracture or
fault zones.

The soils and highly weathered rock may be stockpiled for use in revegetation of the site
and/or incorporated into platforms for production facilities.

The results of current and previous testing carried out on samples from the moderately to
slightly weathered profile (including material from as little as 1 m below ground level), and fresh
rock profile show compliance with the concrete aggregate specification in all but one subtest.

The laboratory testing undertaken to date has only been applicable to concrete aggregates. It
would be expected, based on previous experiences with similar materials, that the following
products could also be produced from this proposed quarry:
Road pavement materials as specified in RTA Specifications 3051 and 3052.
Sealing aggregates
Filter material aggregates

It should also be noted that when crushing rock cores in a laboratory jaw crusher, the crushed
particles are often very flaky and do not represent accurately the overall quality of the material
due to the shape of the crushed particles. The situation is easily rectified in an actual
quarrying situation where the rock is crushed by the appropriate sized equipment.

Given the proportion of weathered material in the profile, it is recommended that a full suite of
laboratory tests be carried out during the quarry design investigation to assess the aggregate
properties in relation to current RTA specifications and AS2758.1 - 1985 "Part 1 - Concrete

I Aggregates". The full suite of testing will be required to provide the selection of the final quarry
design in respect to preferred excavation sequence, crushing plant selection, material pre-
treatment or blending requirements and environmental aspects, that is, extending the level of
I confidence to that required for design and operation after development consent is in place.

the quality assurance aspect for the initial marketing and sale of product. Similarly, testing in

I regard to RTA specifications for road aggregates, will permit marketing of by-products from the
winning of concrete aggregates.

I It is understood that the content of iron sulphide has resulted in potential for acid leachate in
some quarry sources within the region.

The potential for acid generation was indicated by two samples from a 1 m section in one bore.
I The remaining tested materials indicated acid neutral/sing capacity, which has the potential to
neutral/se acidic drainage.

6.3 Excavation and Excavation Stability

Development of a hard rock quarry within the proposed limits (Drawing 1) will potentially result
I in excavation (above the adjacent valley floor alluvium levels) of up to 30 m and 35 m in the
northern and southern ridges, respectively. Additional depths of free draining excavation (to
I approximately 711 m (AHD) at the eastern margin of the proposed quarry area) could be
achieved by providing engineering works to control the flow path of the existing creek and the

I grading of the quarry floor towards the eastern margin of the quarry site, at approximately
700 m (AHD). Excavations to these levels will intersect varying combinations of soils,
weathered and fresh rock profiles
I

It is anticipated that excavation of the residual, colluvial and alluvial profiles could be readily
I achieved using conventional earthmoving equipment.

Observations of slopes in existing gullies and material types indicate that slopes excavated in
the alluvium and colluvium to a depth of 4 m at 1.5H:1V would generally provide stable long
term slopes, but would be subject to nil-erosion if not provided with surface protection. If

erodible (and potentially water charged) sands are intersected as encountered in Bore 4 (5.9 -
8.8 m), reassessment of stability conditions would be required.

The excavatability of the rock mass is best assessed by prospective quarry contractors, having
regard to their own equipment and expertise, and the information provided in this report,
particularly the bore data and seismic refraction results. On the current evidence however, it
would appear that drill and blast techniques will be required for deeper sections of the slightly
weathered and the fresh rock profile. The moderately and slightly weathered, high to very high
strength rock profile, typified in cores by closely spaced fracturing, and seismic velocities up to
2000 m/s, is anticipated to be rippable using heavy bulldozers (D9L or D10 Class), although
the required production rates and economics of ripping versus the cost of blasting will need to
be considered.

It is anticipated that quarry development will involve a series of benches with intervening face
heights of the order of 10 - 15 m. It/s understood that the benches above RL745 would be
7.5 m in height.

The stability of faces and overall slopes at this site will largely be governed by the orientation of
bedding planes in respect to excavated faces, particularly in the weathered profile where clay
filled joints and extremely to highly weathered seams have been intersected by drilling. Care
would be required when operating in the mid and upper levels of the proposed Northern Ridge
Quarry, where observed bedding strikes parallel to subparallel to the ridge alignment and dips
south to southwest (i.e. into any excavation) at angles of 30° to 66°.

In general, the high water losses encountered during investigation suggest well drained slopes
with consequent beneficial effect on overall stability. The joint openness should, however, be
considered when determining blast design.

6.4 Quarry Reserves and Development

A preliminary resource assessment for the hornfels in both the Southern Ridge Quarry and
Northern Ridge Quarry has been undertaken using the results of Bores 1, 2, 3 and 5 and
relevant sections of seismic traverses. These investigation methods are considered to have
intersected a significant sample of the bedrock profile as a consequence of the variably dipping

I strata (100 - 87°), and orientation of seismic traverses generally perpendicular to strike. The
volume/tonnage assessment has been prepared assuming:

I . an average 2 m depth of stripping (soil and highly weathered rock interpreted as seismic
velocity <1000 mIs), noting that this layer varies from less than I m to locally as deep as

stripping volumes of approximately 289 200 m3 and 71 200 m3, respectively, for the
southern and northern ridges.

I . a bulk density of 2.5 t/m3, and

an average 5% wastage factor (noting that the wastage factor would be expected to be

I higher closer to the surface and lesser at depth).

The current investigation indicates that the most prospective areas for initial development in

vicinity of Bores 1 and 2 (although Traverse 6 and topographic features suggest a deeply

I weathered zone between the two bore sites), and the lower slopes of the Northern Ridge
Quarry in the vicinity of Bore 5.

I Elsewhere, within the Southern Ridge Quarry, Bore 3 and Traverses 1 & 2 indicate a deep (to
>12 m), moderately weathered banded highly and extremely weathered profile, probably
related to north-south trending faulting, at the eastern extent of the southern ridge. Some of
this material may only be suitable for use as road base.

I 6.5 Further Investigation

It is recommended that at least one trial excavation be carried out into the intermediate
velocity, moderately to slightly weathered profile to recover bulk samples for crushing and

I

subsequent aggregate testing. Determination of the quality of this material which constitutes a
significant proportion of the total reserve is considered necessary prior to detailed quarry
design so as to determine requirements for selective working, crushing and requirements
blending of the total quarry product. This additional testing will also enable confirmation of the
waste factor.

It is anticipated that this work would most suitably be carried out after the quarry is approved as
would the testing of the entire range of concrete and road aggregate as required by the
relevant Australian and PTA Standards.

It is further recommended that the trial excavation be carried out using a heavy bulldozer (D9
class or greater) to better assess the economics of ripping at the site. Selection and loading of
appropriate bulk samples would preferably be carried out by a hydraulic excavator (with
hydraulic hammer available on site).

It is suggested that suitable locations for sampling would be in the area adjacent to Bore 1 and
on the mid level of the hillslope north of Bore 2.

7. CONCLUDING REMARKS

We reconfirm that in our opinion, the scope of work designed and carried out to date is
adequate to provide a sufficient level of confidence that the site is suitable for the development
of a hard rock quarry for concrete aggregates. Testing carried out has indicated that both the
moderately to slightly weathered rock profile (which is described as overburden in the supplied
submission), and the underlying fresh rock provides materials meeting concrete aggregate
requirements. The results, together with company based experience, further indicate that the
upper section of the weathering profile can reasonably be expected to provide road base
materials.

.
I METHOD
Each segment was jaw crushed using a Braun Chipmunk Jaw Crusher and then reduced
I to less than 2mm diameter using a t3ico Piat? Pulverizer. This sample was used for water
leaching tests. A subsample (30 g). taken from the less than 2mm material, was finely
crushed to less than 100 micron using a chrome-steel ring grinder This sample was used
for the determination of sulphur, carbonate carbon, and total carbon

Total sulphur was determined using AustralIan Standard Method AS1 038 Part 63.3,
utilising a Leco Model SC32 Automatic Sulphur DeterrninatOr. This method detennines
I total sulphur and does not distinguish between sulphate and pyritic species. Total carbon
was determined using a Leco Model WR12 Automatic Total Carbon Determinator. Total
carbon concentratiOn values were converted to equivalent carbon dioxide values.
'Carbonate carbon was also determined, using the Leco Model WRI2 Automatic Total
Carbon DeterrninatOt- This was done by treating a subsample of rock sample with 1:1
hydrochloric acid, drying, then measuring the total carbon content. The difference in the
I carbon values represented the amount of organic carbon
present in the original sample.

..r the leach tests, electrical conductivity, and pH, values were determined in a water,
extract of each sample (1 : 5; 20g: 1 OOmL water) using the minus 2mm sample which
was gently turned end on end for 16 hours. The samples were exposed to air several
times during the determination to ensure oxygen was available for suiphide oxidation. The
I results for these tests are gIven in the table below.

' Electrical conductivity and p1-I measurement methods were based on:
APHA Methods
Australian Standard A32300.1.6-1989. Methods for Chemical Testing for the Dairying
Industry. Method 1-6: General methods and principles - Determination of pH.
Standard Methods for Examination of Water and WasteWate(. 18th Edition 1992, Part
251 OB Electrical ConductiVIty
Part 4500-H + -B pH value ElectrometrIc method
These measurements were made using a Metrohm 712 Conductometer and Radiometer
PHM 95 pHIlon meter respectively- Each instrument was equipped with automatic

temperature correction.
Ihe NAPP. also known as the acid-base account, is calculated from the total sulphur
rial
content and the nherent
i Acid Neutralising Capacity (ANC) of a mate.
ANC = total carbon (%CO2 ) x 2.27
ANC is calculated as:

NAPP Is defined as follows: NAPP = %S x 3.125 - ANC

Where, ANC and NAPP are in % CaCO3 equivaLents.

Yours Sincerely.

COMPARISON OF LABORATORY TEST RESULTS
SUTTON, HALL, MUGGA AND COO MA ROAD QUARRIES
I

1. INTRODUCTION

As requested, the results of laboratory testing of coarse aggregate samples derived from

I crushing of drill core from the proposed Tiocliff Sutton Quarry have been compared to the
results of testing of samples from the Boral Hall Quarry, Boral Mugga 1 Quarry and the CSR
Cooma Road Quarry.

I
2. TEST RESULTS

I Laboratory test results from the Boral and CSR quarries were designated as "annual testing"
and "compliance" tests respectively. Between seven and nine test standard test methods
(AS 1141, BS 812 and AS A77, which has been superseded by AS 1141) are presented for
1 each of the tested materials (see attached sheets).

The Boral results comprised:

I
values for one size fraction (20 mm) sampled from the Hall Quarry on 15 June 1994.

. values for three size fractions (20 mm, 14 mm, 10 mm) sampled from the Mugga 1 Quarry
I on 8 August, 1995.

The material types were not shown on the test forms, but are understood to be 'dactite'.

Similarly, the CSR results from the Cooma Road Quarry comprised:

I values for three size fractions (20/14 mm, 10 mm and 7 mm) of "granite" sampled on 24
July and 22 August, 1995.

I values for three size fractions (20 mm, 14 mm and 10 mm) of "dacite" sampled on 27
February, 1996.

It is noted that the results from the Cooma Road Quarry indicated two rock types are produced.
This was confirmed by quarry staff.

The test results shown in the following comparison are those included in the Douglas Partners
Pty Ltd report 230322 (dated 17 May 1996). These include testing of hornfels drill core from
within and immediately adjacent to the proposed quarry area, by both Douglas Partners and
earlier work by Coffey Partners International Pty Ltd.

A comparison of results of tests (Particle Density, Water Absorption, Sodium Sulphate

Soundness, Los Angeles Abrasion, Flakiness and Particle Grading) common to the proposed
Sutton Quarry and the Boral and CSR quarries is attached. In respect to particle grading the
comparison is made for 20 mm aggregate only. Values outside of the specification limits are
indicated on the attached tabulation.

3. COMMENTS

The comparison shows that in respect to:

particle density (AS 1141.6.1), the Sutton test values range from marginally less to
marginally greater than the other three sources, the median test result being greater than
the Mugga material and equivalent to the Cooma Road "granite' and 'dacite'.

water absorption (AS 1141.6.1), the Sutton test values range from less than to in excess of
the other three sources, the median value being less than the Mugga material. One test
result from Sutton on a sample including near surface material (from 4 m) marginally
exceeds the specification limit (2%).

sodium sulphate soundness (AS 1141.24), the Sutton test values range from less than to
marginally in excess of the other three sources, the median value being less than those for
the other sources.

Los Angeles abrasion (AS 1141.23), the Sutton test values range from marginally less than
to greater than results from the Mugga material, the median results (note limited test
numbers) being slightly higher (19% vs 17%). No values were available for the Hall and
Cooma Road materials.

Flakiness Index (AS 1141.15), the two Sutton test values from material produced in a
laboratory crusher (which generally does not have the sizing capacity of a production
crusher) fell within the range of the two available results from the Hall and Mugga materials.

Particle Grading (AS 1141.11), the nominal 20mm aggregate produced from Sutton
material in a laboratory crusher indicated deviation from the specification in the 4.75 mm
and 2.36 mm size ranges. Minor deviation from the specification in the 19 mm size range
was noted in both Hall and Cooma Road (Dacite) results.

Douglas Partners
Geoterhnics . E,wironment Groundwater

In summary, the comparison of the equivalent test methods for the varying materials from the
four locations indicates that the proposed Sutton quarry could on the basis of median test
values be expected to produce coarse concrete aggregate:
I
equivalent to or of higher particle density than the Mugga and Hall samples.

I . with lower water absorption values than the Mugga samples.

. with lower sodium sulphate values than the other three sources.

I
with approximately equivalent Los Angeles abrasion values to the Hall quarry samples.

. with equivalent or better flakiness index than Mugga or Hall quarry samples.
I

Similarly, on the basis of lower bound values, a producing Sutton quarry with the benefits of

I material selection, beneficiation by crushing/screening and blending could reasonably be

expected to produce material equivalent to or better (in respect to the compared tests) than the
Mugga, Hall and Cooma Road Quarries.

I If additional information is required, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
