Minjar saw that WebGen™ could provide a solution to recovering resource previously deemed sterilized proximate to previous workings. The ability to control safety of personnel, to exposure at the brow and working off rill, were risks that were controlled or eliminated.

A remote communication system allowed firing from the surface mine control room.
