I am embarrassed to say how little sense that made to me - the mines with which I am passingly familiar are all open-pit copper mines, where the extraction takes place below the processing, and I could not get my head around the idea that this one truck was taking some material down to the mine.
Of course the answer is that this mine is at the top of a mountain, and the processing facility is lower. The material the truck hauls is lime and marl.
