The two main underground mining methods used in South Africa are Room and Pillar Mining Room and pillar mining is a method where coal is extracted in a series of rooms leaving pillars of coal to support the roof This technique is often used for shallow coal deposits and is considered safer than other underground mining methods
Nowadays it is recommended to use dynamic and probabilistic methods when designing mine water management systems which will require a dynamic system modelling package GoldSim Matlab Simulink Stella Vensim that can integrate all possible factors that might affect mine water management [51 52]
This method is slightly advance version of polygonal method In this method holes are connected to adjacent holes This divides the ore body into a series of triangles T 1 T 2 T n Each triangle rests on the plane of the map and represents a base area of an imaginary prism with edges t 1 t 2 t 3 equal to vertical thicknesses of intercepted mineralisation
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the performance of different DPM control methods in underground mines and then recommend an efficient and economic DPM control strategy to the mining industry The paper firstly illustrates the DPM characteristics and the potential health effects on humans by both long term and short term
Abstract Ultimate pit limit optimization plays a major role in the mining industry as it serves as the elementary foundation of all the activities in mine planning This paper reviews and documents some methods used in ultimate pit limit optimization and gives a clear insight of these algorithms their functionalities and limitations to open up more research opportunities
It is a method mining in which a continuous miner cuts and loads from the short end of a rectangular pillar of coal while hydraulically powered self advancing roof supports provide protective cover As the supports move forward the coal behind it caves Characteristics of a short wall system include panel dimensions of 610m to 1219m in length
Equipment for firedamp endangered mining works Group II Equipment for hazardous areas apart from mining Upon publication of IEC 60079 0 in 2007 Group III was introduced for dust explosion hazardous areas Group II is reserved for equipment in gas explosion hazardous areas Group II Equipment for gas explosion hazardous areas apart
A control method perspective on how dust in tunnels and underground mines can be reduced by proper use of ventilation water and dust collectors is provided

The mine explosion left five miners with extensive burns to their torso s and airways while working underground An Anglo spokesperson told AMSJ that overnight the five men who were injured in yesterday s incident at Grosvenor Mine were transferred to Brisbane for further treatment after receiving immediate medical assistance at Moranbah
This paper investigates current methods of cooling and ventilation for hot environments that are plus 30 degrees wet bulb WB and discusses proposed methods to reduce in stope temperatures
Early coal mining and management methods left a large number of unknown goafs in China s important Ordos Basin which has restricted the safe production in today s large scale mines The transient electromagnetic TEM method is the main geophysical tool used to detect the goaf We considered the geological conditions of Ordos Basin in studying the
Several studies have presented a detailed review of underground coal mines gas hazard monitoring and identification technologies Szlązak et al in the literature [] presented an assessment of current methods of methane control during multi seam extraction by longwall mining in Polish study in literature [] has discussed the various UCM gas hazard
per cent per cent and per cent The prevalent methods of mining in the country are underground and open pit mining Alluvial mining is also popular in the small scale gold sub sector Following a period of general economic decline in the 1970s to mid 1980s Ghana s mining industry recovered on the back of market based
A voxel grid based point cloud processing method for solid state lidar is proposed for the non repetitive scanning mode of solid state radar and some special scenes of underground metal mines This method can extract planar features in point clouds more efficiently and can accurately separate ground points in underground mine roadway
As with other types of hard rock mining there are several extraction methods In the case of uranium mining it strongly depends on the concentration of uranium in the ore For example the ore extracted from the Australian Olympic Dam Mine has a concentration of % and most reserves have uranium with a concentration of between bis %
This additional group was created to separate and include insensitive explosives that are used in mining and demolition fields [2] The last decade has witnessed a significant increase of terrorism and of the use of PBEs around the world PBEs is a usual denomination for the most common and simple method of producing explosives TATP HMTD and
There are four main mining methods underground open surface pit placer and in situ mining Underground mines are more expensive and are often used to reach deeper deposits Surface mines are typically used for more shallow and less valuable deposits Placer mining is used to sift out valuable metals from sediments in river channels beach sands or
Based on this a digital modeling method of coal mine roadway based on millimeter wave radar array is proposed Firstly aiming at the problem of complex environmental interference combined with
Open pit mining is an important form of coal mining in China and its damage to the ecological environment is particularly obvious in alpine regions The ecological restoration of alpine open pit coal mines faces severe challenges and its restoration effect will directly affect the ecological security of China Meanwhile comprehensive and system oriented evaluation of
The slope stability has already become one of the most important factors directly related to the safety production and development of a mine which is principally controlled by the properties of geological discontinuities of slope such as bedding planes faults cleavage and joints In this study a new approach for the evaluation of slope stability in large open pit mines
