In addition to the technical and economic advantages of blasting rocks from open-pit mining, this method extraction can produce effects with a direct impact in area near open pit. Blasting works generates such as seismic waves that cause vibrations, rock throws, noise toxic gases. When their intensity scope are not systematically evaluated analysed, serious consequences for people, civil / indu...

Strata and surface movement induced by mining under open-pit final slope is a huge 8 threat to mine safety. Physical model test is an important method to study mining-induced strata 9 and surface movement laws. Because of rock joints predominantly control rock mass deformation 10 and failure, thus physical model test leaving out of consideration of rock joints is difficult to reflect 11 the inf...

A large number of metal deposits are initially extracted via surface methods, but then transition underground without necessarily ceasing to operate above ground. Currently, most mine operators schedule the open pit and underground operations independently and then merge the two, creating a myopic solution. We present a methodology to maximize the NPV for an entire metal deposit by determining ...

With the continuous downward mining, more and attention has been paid to problem of slope stability under open-pit combined mining. Taking Zijinshan gold copper mining as an example, failure properties overlying rock mass different methods are studied by numerical simulation method, law is proposed. Combined with geological structure distribution 5-5 section influence stages, evaluated slip fie...

One of the most critical aspects open pit mining is dewatering and mine drainage systems. The NCP Open Pit Gold Mine located in Central Kalimantan. This study area has a range rainfall intensities durations from moderate to heavy. Good required manage runoff water reduce entering front loading. used daily intensity data 1994 2018. Using Mononobe Method, hydrological for this were evaluated by d...

One of the key issues in mining is the hauling system. Truck and shovels are the most widely used transportation equipment in mines. In this paper, a two-phase simulation-based optimization is presented to maximize utilization of hauling system in the largest Iranian open-pit copper mine. In the first phase, The OptQuest for Arena software package was used to solve the optimization problem to p...

Coal is the most highly used source of energy for generating power in the world. Although, it has adverse environmental impacts (Weart, 2003), it is so widely used mainly because it is relatively cheap, abundantly available and readily fits with traditional power generation technologies. It is extracted from mines using both underground and surface mining techniques – either of them having adva...

Based on the 2019 satellite remote sensing data, survey was conducted open-pit stopes of building sand mines in Shigatse, Tibet, and relationship between number area, population density district/county, as well distribution characteristics main built-up areas, administrative villages traffic roads at county level were analyzed. This study tentatively links open pit mine with human aggregation a...
