Bench Release

The Staging > Bench Release tab is used to specify the order of stages mined. There are four fields:

  • Stage — The predecessor stage which needs to be mined first.
  • Dependent stage — The successor stage linked to the predecessor stage.
  • Benches — The number of benches that are required to be mined in the predecessor stage before moving on to the successor stage.
  • Mine Completely — When selected, indicates that the predecessor stage must be completely mined before moving on to the successor stage.
