ore mining and ground stability

Operating mines

Open-pit mining and quarrying: The recovery of ore from a progressively wider and deeper hole in the ground using large vehicles to haul the ore from the pit to the processing facility. Strip mining: The targeted removal of surface layers to reveal the useful seams underneath. By contrast, subsurface mining requires mining a vertical shaft into the ground, from which …

Slope stability analysis

Slope stability is the potential of a naturally occurring or engineered soil slope (for example, embankments, cuttings, open-pit mining, excavations, landfills, etc.) to withstand ground movement. A previously stable slope may become unstable, leading to mass movement. Mass movements can be caused by an increase in shear stress, like increased loading or lateral …

Underground Mining Methods

Sublevel stoping is a mining method in which ore is blasted from different levels of elevation but is removed from one level at the bottom of the mine. Before mining begins, an ore pass is usually drilled from a lower to a higher elevation. Jumbos selectively drill holes into the roof of the drift and fill them with explosives. When the roof is blasted, loose rocks, or muck, fall through the

30/06/2022 · Why mining is done so deep in the ground? Underground mining is used for ores that are deep in Earth's surface. For deep ore deposits, it can be too expensive to remove all of the rocks above the ore. These methods are more expensive than surface mining because tunnels are made in the rock so that miners and equipment can get to the ore.
