Reduce the impact of rock bridges at our Telfer crusher

At our Telfer mine site in Western Australia, a top priority is to keep operations going without major interruptions. After planned maintenance, rock bridges are the single biggest issue preventing more ore moving through the crushers. For one single site like Telfer, the accumulated losses due to rock bridges can regularly surpass $10m per annum.
