Overview of Major Mining Methods

Once an ore body has been identified, the appropriate mining method must be selected based on the ore deposit. There are relatively few basic mining principles used in mining today, but variations are nearly limitless due to each deposit's uniqueness. This chapter summarizes the characteristics of the major mining methods, including sub level caving, sub level stopping, shrinkage, room and pillar, open pit, cut and fill (under or over), and block caving. It also notes the different jobs needed both inside and outside the mine, such as venting, drilling, blasting, and sustaining work.

Introduction

Mining Methods

Once an ore body has been probed and


outlined and sufficient information has been
collected to warrant further analysis, the
important process of selecting the most
appropriate method or methods of mining can
begin.

At this stage, the selection is preliminary,


serving only as the basis for a Project layout
and feasibility study. Later it may be found
necessary to revise details, but the basic
principles for ore extraction should remain a
part of the final layout.

With respect to the basic principles


employed, relatively few mining methods are
used today. Because of the uniqueness of
each ore deposit, variations on each of these
methods are nearly limitless.
It is impossible to include even the major
variations in this chapter; the goal of this
chapter is to summarize briefly the
characteristics of the major mining methods.

Main mining methods


Amounting a Little more about the mining methods, now were going mention
the most importants mining methods.
Sub level caving
Sub level stopping
Shrinkage
Room and pilar mining
Open pit
Cut and fill (under or over)
Block caving
Also Its neccesary meet the different Jobs into or outside of the mine. For
example: Vent, Drill and blasting, sustaining, etc
