Mine planning is a typical engineering design function which integrate the disciplines of geology, metallurgy, geotechnics, mining and economics. The numerous uncertainties associated with geological understanding, the exposure of people to potential hazards in the work place and the need to provide a specific dollar outcome, requires a proper assessment of the risk. This paper identifies the s...

PT. Bukit Asam Tbk is an open-pit coal mining company in Muara Enim, Soutgh Sumatra. In activities, slope stability analysis carried out to evaluate the mine order create a safe process. Several types of failure are associated with geological structures. This research was conducted identify type landslides low wall area Pit X and determine factor based on discontinuity data using scanline metho...

The Certej basin is situated in the North of Deva town, in Apuseni Mountains and was an important nonferrous mining region. In present the mining activities were stopped, but the acid mine drainage is still affecting the underground water quality. Acid Mine Drainage takes place where sulphide-bearing material is exposed to oxygen and water. This drainage water is characterized by low pH, high s...

Existing methods of pushback (phase) design are reviewed in the context of “gap” problems, a term used to describe inconsistent sizes between successive pushbacks. Such gap problems lead to suboptimal open pit mining designs in terms of maximizing net present value. Methods such as the Lerchs– Grossman algorithm, network flow techniques, the fundamental tree algorithm, and Seymour’s parameteriz...

Bauxite is mined and transported by conveyor to a processing plant, screened and washed, then placed into blended stockpiles to feed the alumina refinery. While being stacked to the stockpile, the ore is sampled. Completed stockpiles must be acceptably close to target grade (composition), not only in alumina, but also in residual silica, carbon and sodium carbonate. The mine is an open-cut pit....

Open-pit coal mining causes land and soil degradation negatively affects properties. It is of great importance to determine variabilities in properties the abandoned area after mine closed bring it back nature by implementing appropriate rehabilitation programs. The aim this study was evaluate plant nutrient availability toxic element pollution an site. results indicated that amounts plant-avai...

The particulate pollution in the open-pit coal mines of China is particularly severe winter. aim this study to understand characteristics matter (PM) winter and provide a basis for prevention control pollution. We took problem PM concentration at bottom Haerwusu Open-pit Coal Mine (HOCM) as research object. Dust monitoring equipment two measurement points different heights were positioned conti...

Auger mining merupakan salah satu upaya mendukung konservasi sumber daya batubara, selain itu juga menjadi strategi untuk menghadapi harga batubara yang fluktuatif. Pemilihan metode penambangan pada highwall dengan auger ini didasari karena lokasi PT X masih adanya lapisan (seam) tertinggal setelah kegiatan tambang terbuka (open pit) berakhir atau telah selesai (mineout) dikarenakan tersebut be...

Determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. Production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. One of the important operational con...
