mining process of extracting useful minerals from the surface of the Earth including the mineral with a few exceptions is an inorganic substance occurring in nature that has a definite chemical composition and distinctive physical properties or molecular structure One organic substance coal is often discussed as a mineral as well Ore is a metalliferous
Open pit mining also known as open cut or open cast mining is a surface mining method of extracting metallic and nonmetallic ores directly from the uses a series of level surfaces or
In the literature of mining optimisation most classical mine block sequencing or open pit mine production scheduling problems are applied at strategic and tactical levels because their objectives are to determine the optimal sequence of mineral blocks across a certain number of fixed time length periods measured in weeks months or years such that the total revenue
An open pit mine is exactly what the name implies a big hole or pit in the ground The pit in an open pit mine is created by blasting with explosives and drilling This type of mining is typically used to mine gravel and sand and even rock when open pit mining is used to extract rock from the earth the pit is often called a quarry
A wide range of equipment can be utilised for overburden removal in open cast mining according to the ground type and the topographic context If the excavated material cannot be reprocessed either for economic or technical reasons overburden has to be disposed by means of a range of systems typically combined with excavation techniques
