Longwall mining accounts for around 90 per cent of Australia's underground coal production. Traditionally a mechanical shearer cuts along the coal seam beneath a roof supported by hydraulic jacks, exposing miners to multiple risks on a daily basis. Increasing health, safety and productivity around the longwall mining process has been a long ...

August 26, 2021. Underground mining usually involves the digging of subversive tunnels and rooms below ground surface. Underground mining is more expensive than surface mining and can be dangerous. This kind of mining is only used in areas where quality ore, such as gold, are concentrated in thin veins and other remarkably rich deposits.

Currently, one of Australia's largest underground mines is Newcrest's Gold, Silver and Copper Cadia Valley Operations, near Orange in NSW. It is estimated that the mine has proven contained metal reserves of approximately 37 million ounces of gold and 8.2 million tonnes of copper. Cadia's mine alone has employed over 1900 direct and ...

Miners use a range of vehicles such as bulldozers, mining trucks, and loaders. These vehicles move coal within underground mines, carry coal from the coal bed in surface mines, and transport coal to the coal preparation plant. Explosives are an indispensable but potentially dangerous tool in the modern miner's arsenal.

The natural ecological conditions in the Shendong mining area in China are very fragile, and water resources are seriously lacking. As the production scale of the Shendong mine continues to expand, the …

mining operation, and we must take into account the number of possible steps from the extraction site (stope/face) to the shaft or ramp portal. The total system has been established - as a combination of various types of equipment - such that it is most applicable to the ore deposits being mined, the mining methods employed and the mine layout. 1.

Mining the Ore Body. Assay information from the lab is combined with geologic, geochemical and geophysical data in a process known as geologic modeling of the ore body. Using information obtained from sampling, …

The average haulage and hoisting costs for these groups ranged from $0.1135 to $0.4025 per ton of ore mined, and the range for 47 individual mines was from $0,086 to $1,848. Elsing has tabulated transportation costs at 66 mines, which show averages by groups ranging from $0,120 per ton mined to $0,556. It is therefore apparent that …

The infrastructure of underground mines is more complex than that of the open pits. A typical layout of an underground mine is shown on the Fig. 1. A main feature of an underground mine is a shaft, which is a vertical or sub …

Earlier, we mentioned the old-school technique of "drill and blast." This approach is still used, and it is relatively common in underground mining. With drill and blast, a miner clears an area out using explosives, such as ANFO or Emulsion. This breaks up the ore while giving them greater access to the area.

The examples presented in this paper support the choice of ANNs as the basis for developing solutions to mining and environmental problems were conventional techniques fail in one way or another. A number of mining and environmental related problems have been approached using ANN technology. These problems commonly relate to pattern …

Underground transport arrangements are generally divided into 2 categories: Main haulage. Gathering haulage. Before describing the types of transportation systems, let's discuss these two categories. The main haulage arrangement is that which operates between the winding shaft or incline and the main underground loading points.
