Then, the company's 3,000 workers produced 1m tonnes of coal …
Open cast mining has been practiced in South Africa since the late1970s under near ideal geotechnical conditions. In the past decade, with the exhaustion of the traditional South African coal fields, geotechnical conditions have deteriorated. In addition, the nature of the open cast coal mining industry is changing from the conventional strip …
The exploration data, assembled from 1997 to 2003, revealed a potential gold resource and indicated that the deposit could be mined by using open pit mining method. This paper demonstrates a stepwise approach to design an optimal open pit to exploit the deposit by using Surpac and Whittle software.
Slope stability analysis forms an integral part of the opencast mining operations during the life cycle of the project. In Indian mining conditions, slope design guidelines were not yet formulated for different types of mining practices and there is a growing need to develop such guidelines for maintaining safety and productivity.
