Underground mining (hard rock) Underground hard rock mining refers to various underground mining techniques used to excavate hard minerals such as those containing metals like gold, copper, zinc, nickel and lead or gems such as diamonds. In contrast soft rock mining refers to excavation of softer minerals such as coal, or oil sands. Mine Access
Mar 13, 2012· (1) Drill AdaptabilityThe type of rock drill used in mining drilling is generally determined by the hole diameter required and the mechanical properties, principally hardness, of the top hammer is commonly employed for drilling of holes less than 125 mm in diameter in all but the hardest rock, although a rotary cutting method may instead ...
Dec 29, 2017· Typical drilling applications − In civil engineering DTH drilling is used for a lot of different applications − Blast holes at construction sites used for removal of rock in road and railway projects, construction of HE plants etc − Foundation drilling methods are used to reinforce or stabilize rock and soil in different construction projects
In this method, the excavation is carried out along the perimeter or periphery of the section. The method is also known as the German method. Tunnelling in soft ground or soft rock is a specialized job. It does not involve the use of explosives and the requisite excavation work is done using hard tools such as pickaxes and shovels.
Thermal Fragmentation Mining Method An extraction process with multiple benefits that solves the challenges of today The extraction process allows thermal fragmentation with an accuracy of 2 cm to quickly extract any type of hard rock up to 110 cm wide.
Mining in hard and soft rock formations require different techniques. Other methods include shrinkage stope mining, which is mining upward, creating a sloping underground room, long wall mining, which is grinding a long ore surface underground, and room and pillar mining, which is removing ore from rooms while leaving pillars in place to ...
The Royex system is a niche product with a natural place in underground and surface mining operations. Secondary breaking of oversize and boulder with the benefit of minimizing the risk of fly rock and minimal toxic gas generation is one traditional application.
shown that wet drilling can reduce dust levels up to 96%. It is, however, critical that the drill operator ensure that the water flow Methods to suppress dust on open pit drill rigs du Plessis1 and Potgieter2. 1Department of Mining Engineering, University of Pretoria, South Africa and .
Debswana Orapa Diamond Mine, Drilling and Blasting Technician, Botswana ABSTRACT: Effective perimeter control during drilling and blasting is critical not only to blasting results but also to the overall stability of the pit over its entire life span. A pit ... the hard rock presplit parameters shown in table 5 below, were recommended:
narrowstope hardrock mining typical of South African gold and platinum mines. This review is not definitive, but covers the most important experiences in rock cutting that are applicable to the South African hardrock environment, and discusses the future of practical techniques, as well as briefly examining some more speculative methods.
[Show full abstract] country rock displacement, and in decreasing order of strain energy stored in the nearfield rock, the basic mining methods to be considered in the present category are ...

Johnson DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for D isease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Geotechnical Considerations in Underground Mining/Department of Industry and Resources Guideline Document No.: ZME723QT INTRODUCTION The potentially hazardous nature of underground mining requires the application of sound geotechnical engineering practice to determine the ground conditions, the ground support and reinforcement requirements, as well as the size, shape and .
Dec 20, 2016· That''s why it introduced its Rock Straight System, which is defined as "a fully mechanized longwall system designed for continuous mining of flat and tabular deposits and reefs of hard rock ...

The data collected during the grade control processes helps mining geologists conduct quantitative geochemical analysis of metal concentrations. Niton analyzers can be carried anywhere at the mine site to collect hundreds, even thousands of analyses at no additional cost.
The range of rock support drill rigs is designed for a wide array of hardrock mining operations, tunneling and civil engineering applications. Thanks to onboard cement mixers, cement bag platforms, and optional cement silos and steel strand reels, the .
The smooth wall technique also involves more perimeter drill holes when compared to conventional underground methods. Drilling costs have the greatest impact on the economics of any blasting operation . Additionally, smooth wall blasting is known to have performance issues in weak rock formations . If the rock mass is too weak to support itself ...
After the explosion, miners mucked out the loosened ore and country rock with picks and shovels. The invention of dynamite in 1867 and the mechanical compressed air rock drill in 1869 revolutionized the excavation process. Mining underground often created large caverns or "stopes" that tended to collapse.
Hard Rock Miner''s Handbook is a work of the heart. Jack—whose 40+ year career spanned engineering, construction, and operation of mining projects worldwide—conceived of and wrote the first edition of the Handbook, published in June 2000, to assist miners and engineers in the difficult world of hard rock mining. It was his
Due to the difficulty in drilling through the hard rock (uniaxial compressive strength greater than 100 MPa) using the conventional drilling techniques for the gas control in coal mine, we have proposed a kind of hard rock drilling technique with abrasive water jet assistance, designed and manufactured a hard rock breaking bit, and developed a ...

Sep 20, 2010· Crater blasting techniques (VCR, MVCR, HCR, and ) are often employed for larger underground ore bodies in hard rock mines stoped with bulk mining methods. (Refer to Chapter 3 – Mining Methods for additional information.) Crater blasting has been used successfully for drop raises and even for shaft sinking.
