There are three ways to tell whether gaffs are sharpened properly. Step 1 : Three ways to maintain climbers : 1. 1. Gauging. This method checks the gaff's length, width, and thickness and the profile of its point.... 1. 2. Plane test. This method may be used with the gauge or independently if the gaffs are sharpened by machine. The test is made by using a soft board to tell whether proper sharpness has been reached. Place the climber with the gaff side down and parallel to the board without applying downward pressure above the gaff. Push the climber along the board. If the gaff is properly contoured and sharpened, it will dig into the wood and hold within approximately one inch. If the climber continues to glide along the board for more than one inch, it needs more honing. 1. 3. Pole cutout. After the climbers have been machine sharpened or gauged(and as often as required thereafter), the gaffs may be tested on a pole.

In response to the task force initiative to improve hiring flexibility, the Department moved from point-by-point scoring to a broader band scoring (i.e., 100, 95, 90, etc.).

CONT

First, the raw score is determined which is generally the number of questions the candidate answers correctly. After the results are analyzed, a band score table is constructed for the test. The band score table is then applied to the raw score to determine the final score. Typically, a band score covers a range of scores and bands [that] are reported in five point increments. This method is called band scoring. Example : A range of raw scores from 45 to 47 are assigned a band score of 80. If you receive a raw score of either 45, 46 or 47, your final score would be 80.

CONT

Raise bore stoping test. A test will be excavated using a series of drilled raise bore holes for primary excavation. A small number of production blast holes may also be used to break the ground between raise holes. This stoping method will be evaluated as a means of narrow vein mining for vertically consistent ore zones. The trial stope will be excavated in early 1995 at the Eagle Point Mine, Rabbit Lake Operation.
