ISA IN IMAGES

No. 2 Ore Shaft, Mount Isa Mines, March 1962

DESCRIPTION

DescriptionNo. 2 Ore Shaft (J52) had an interesting life. It started out as a borehole winder. The winding gear was mounted over the boreholes and the winder about where the one is in this image. In 1951, the shaft was extended to the surface from 4 Level and this headframe was erected with the winder on left hand side of the image. In 1958, another expansion project required a larger motor to haul the ores to the surface. The headframe had to be modified as there was no stays for pulling from the right. These were added and the largest electric motor in the southern hemisphere at the time, 1958, was installed. The sheave wheel for the 1952 operation is on the left. In the right centre of the image, the shaft sinking headframe for K57 (R62) can be seen.DateMarch 1962Rights© Mount Isa MinesCollectionMount Isa Mines Last edited by: Andrea Eussen
