Open pit mining is a technique used to extract copper ore near the earths surface Open pit mining is the most widely used technique of mining copper today It is accomplished by creating and using benches or terraces to gradually reach deeper under the earths surface Underground mining is used when the copper ore is not near the earths.

Open pit mining and quarrying the recovery of materials from an open pit in the ground strip mining the targeted removal of surface layers to reveal the useful oreseams underneath By contrast sub surface mining consists of digging tunnels or shafts into the ground to reach deeply buried ore deposits.

Jul 25 2018018332Block caving is a new alternative method of developing new mines or extending the operation of open pits Block caving is an underground hard rock mining method that involves undermining an ore body allowing it to progressively collapse under its own weight It is the underground version of open pit mining.

Open Pit Mining Open pit mining or open cast mining is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or borrow This form of mining differs from extractive methods that require tunneling into the earth such as long wall mining.

Crown pillars between open pit and underground mining are required to prevent water from entering from the bottom of the open pit into the underground stope In some cases the open pit may be mined simultaneously with the underground operations.

As open pit mining of a mineral deposit deepens the cost of extraction may increase up to a threshold where transitioning to mining through underground methods is more profitable This paper provides an approach to determine an optimal depth at which a mine should transition from open pit to underground mining based on managing technical risk.

Jun 22 2018018332Underground mining The next step once the ore is excavated is to separate the waste rock and ore using primary crushers located at the open pit mine site At this point larger rocks are broken down to a size better suited for the conveyor belt to transport Transforming through Innovation and Growth.
