This image shows the project shovel in middle ground being positioned in a rock pit at road mile 1 near the mine. A cat tractor, facing left, is at the front of the shovel and a dump truck loaded with a fuel barrel and other material sits behind. The alpine setting shows a large area of exposed fragmented rock in foreground including where the shovel is located in middle ground. A treeless mountainside rises to the right in background. Four men are evident, two attending to the front of the shovel, one walking at left and one bending over at right.
