Section 1 runs from the southeast corner to the northwest. It includes the west slope of the NRS. The foundations include rhyolite over dacite and ignimbrite materials. Section 2 runs from the south to the north and includes the north slope of the NRS. The foundations include fill placed for the Workshop Ramp (haul road) at the south end, with rhyolite overlying weathered dacite materials. On Section 2 there is some minor ignimbrite materials at the surface, which are stronger than the weathered dacite surface and therefore a weathered dacite profile has been preferentially applied in the analyses. Geotechnical stability is dependent on the management of materials of different strengths within the NRS. Weaker material strengths were applied in the analyses in the centre of the stockpile with stronger material applied at the outer extents.
