Dear Chris:

Westmin Resources used the Marland Model 300 Mine-Laser on its 1.9 km exploration tunnel program between July, 1989 and March, 1989. It dramatically simplified surveying work by reducing manpower to keep the miners on line and reducing the surveyor's time to keep track of their progress. Set-up was relatively simple even though the surveyor was not experienced with the laser.

Miners' acceptance was very high; they liked having alignment control on demand. The tunnelling contractor, Main Street Mining, used one of your instruments on another job and was very happy to see us install one on this job.

Reliability was very good under moderately rugged conditions.

We would use a Marland Mine-Laser again.

Sincerely,
Edward Lyons
Project Manager

Dear Chris:

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere satisfaction with your Model 400 mine laser. We have now had the unit for 5 months and have used it in our 550' Alimak driven ventilation raise. We found it very useful in this application. The raise was easy to keep on line and as a result, broke through at the desired location. Once the raise was completed, we used the laser to tope the raise and found it certainly made that job very easy.

We are currently using the Model 400 in our ore pass raise. It is being driven conventionally with a timbered manway. We have trained the miners to set the unit up themselves and they are happy with it.
It is my opinion that the Model 400 is as useful in the drift as it is in the raise. This versatility allows for the need for only one type of laser for any straight tunnel driving activity. Our surveyors found it very easy to set up and install. It was also very handy for toping purposes.

Based on my experience with the Model 400 mine laser, I would recommend it to any mining company interested in keeping long, straight drifts or raises on line.

Yours truly,
Syd De Vries, P. Eng.

To whom it may concern:

The Holt-McDermott Mine has been successfully using Marland products since 1987. We presently own two Model 300 mine-lasers that we use for our long development drifts, which average 700 m. in length.

In August of 1991 we rented a third unit, the Model 400 mine-laser with QCD Mount for raise applications. We used the unit to drive a 102 m. Alimak raise at 52 degrees dip. The unit was mounted on the side wall of the raise, as was the target. The Model 400 was very useful in the raise and both

the miners and the surveyors were completely satisfied with it's performance.
I recommend Marland Mine Lasers to all in the mining industry and I am personally looking forward to any new developments.

Yours sincerely,
Dan Rousseau,
Chief Surveyor

Dear Chris:

I would like to thank you for the support you have given us over the last year since the purchase of your model 400 mine laser. As you know, we have had to reduce our survey crew due to economic constraints and were looking for ways to perform the same work with less resources, the use of the laser in our Alimak raises allowed us to do just that. We have now successfully completed three raises, one at 730 feet, with minimal survey control besides the initial setup. All have broken through within feet of plan with the raise crew themselves checking their own line and grade through the use of the laser.

It is refreshing to find a high technology piece of equipment which is rugged enough for the underground environment and yet simple enough to be used by non technical people. Once trained on the use of the instrument, the crew themselves were pleased with its performance.

We have not used the instrument as yet in a drift, but are planning to do in the new year as we have some long drives planned to connect our no. 3 and no. 8 shafts.

During the upcoming development of the nearby Paymaster property, I will have no hesitation in recommending the unit to the contractor due to the length of their raises and its time saving capabilities. In closing I would like to wish you a happy Christmas and a successful new year in 1993.

Yours Sincerely,
Jack MacRory

Dear Chris:

Since purchasing a Marland model 400 mine laser in October 1993, we used the unit to control five Alimak raises and one Jumbo drift.

Raises:
The raises had an average length of 296 meters, ranging from 210 to 385 meters. Dips ranged from 65 to 79 degrees. Three of the raises were circular with a 3 meter diameter. The other two were a 2.1 x 2.1 meter square.

Drift:
A 300 x 4.7 x 4.5 meter shanty back Exploration drift with a + 3 % grade.

Results:
All projects were very successful with the development crews using the laser to provide their own line and grade control. We found the model 400 mine laser to be very reliable and manageable, while saving time and improving working conditions. The application of the mine laser greatly reduced the risk of exposing Surveyors to open raises.

Raise program completed with great success. Every one loved the laser (Senior Management, Surveyors, and the Miners).

Sincerely,
Joe Furlong
Chief Surveyor
