21 kilometres north of Stewart (Figure 2-IZ-l), on the east The Silbak Premier mine is in northwest British Columbia, side of the Salmon River Valley. The original discovery of a that from 1918 to 1953 produced 4.3 million tonnes of ore high-grade vein in 1910 culminated in an underground mine grading 14.6 grams gold and 304 grams silver per tonne from sulphide-bearing stockworkveins and brecci...

Constructing ponds to protect downstream ecosystems is a common practice in opencast coal mine reclamation. As these ponds remain integrated in the landscape, it is important to evaluate the extent of the effect of mine pollution on these ecosystems. However, this point has not been sufficiently addressed in the literature. The main objective of this work was to explore the metal pollution in m...

The information obtained using the satellite technologies of remote sensing provides new massive knowledge about open pit mining operations at deposits carbonate rocks for manufacture cement in 26 regions Russia. number and haulage machines operating each individual mine within whole industry sector is determined. was used analytical estimation capacity overall potential production this sector....

Integrated Optimization can find optimized solutions for a project to define open pit and mine scheduling with greater reliability. This work aims demonstrate how the insertion of geometallurgical variables significantly change financial return project. Two are considered in planning simulations. Specific energy corresponds consumed comminution ore, process recovery measures percentage metal in...

This study aims to fully explore the influence of rock joint roughness in slope stability analysis an open mine. Therefore, based on least squares parameter estimation method, a generalized shear strength coupling roughness, which is used evaluate design, was established by matching formula reflecting relationship between coefficient and parameter. Firstly, verify calibrate model, physical dire...

represented by a block model that divides the orebody into a three-dimensional array of blocks. Each block consists of a cluster of similar characteristics such as rock type and ore grade, and has attributes such as tonnage of ore contained within the block and an expected economic value (Bley et al., 2010). For each block, the mine production scheduling problem consists of the decisions of (1)...

The stability of an open-pit slope is extremely important factor related to the safe production mine. It first safety technical problem encountered and should be solved in process mine design production. By means engineering geology hydrogeological investigation waste dump area Nayuan coal numerical simulation research, this paper analyzes studies stope detail puts forward measures such as prev...
