Accounting A development section has three headings that are 5.0m*4.5m and have a planned advance per blast of 3m. The rock density is 2.7t/m^3 and the swell factor is 1.3. The mine utilizes a homogenous fleet of LHDs with a bucket capacity of 6m^3. Each LHD takes on average 45 seconds to load, 7 minutes to travel to the dipping point, 15 seconds to dump at the tip, and 3:15 minutes to return to the face. The LHD has an average availability and utilization (inclusive of all efficiencies) of 90% and 65% respectively. you may assume an LHD bucket fill factor of 88%.
