The human health implications of open pit mining underscore the urgent need for stringent regulatory measures and the adoption of better safety practices in the mining industry Effective dust control proper use and handling of toxic chemicals regular health check ups for workers and the use of personal protective equipment are essential to
Figure 20 Schematic of the water balance for a closed open Linklater C et al 2017 published by Sustainable Mineral Institute University of Queensland Brisbane It often takes many decades or more for a pit lake to approach a dynamic equilibrium level if the controlling factor on the rate of rise of the lake level is the rate of groundwater inflow to the pit rather than
After the waste disposal the water resources present in that area are the go to source for discarding residue is another reason for water contamination due to mining activities Species Extinction Open pit mining has become more devastating to the environment by affecting our of the mining places come under the dense biodiverse area
Mining poses serious and highly specific threats to biodiversity Gómez Lucas I and Navarro Pedreño J 2023 Restoration Techniques Applied in Open Mining Area to Improve Agricultural Soil Fertility AgriEngineering Formicidae Communities on Rock Dumps of an Open Pit Coal Mine in SW Siberia Annales Zoologici Fennici 10
The Mining Life Open Pit vs Underground August 22 2017 Open pit and underground mines are often in remote locations that require miners to work and live on mining camps for long periods of time which can cause psychological problems that manifest themselves in dangerous situations These camps are usually tightly regulated in terms of
Slope stability analysis is the area of geotechnical design where most uncertainties are present Geological anomalies spatial variability of soil parameters lack of representative data changes in environmental conditions unexpected failure mechanisms simplifications and approximations in geotechnical models and human errors in design and
The advantages of high productivity resource recovery rate and safety have resulted in the unprecedented development of open pit mines However the level of eco environmental destruction in open pit mining regions is ten times higher than in other mining areas Zhou et al 2018
We know that open pit mining operations mainly include drilling blasting mining transportation and dumping Blasting is a very important part of it Blasting costs account for 15% to 20% of the total cost of open pit mining Moreover the quality of blasting directly affects the working efficiency and total cost of the mining process
Open cut mining or open pit mining is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or burrow Scott et al 2010; Li et al 2014 It
Open pit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining especially now that mineral processing technology has advanced to the stage where very low grade ores can be treated profitably 100 to 150 years ago this was not the case and mining was still much more selective
Therefore the conducted study shows that workers engaged in open pit mining of iron containing ores whose working conditions are characterized by class are exposed to a higher risk of not only occupational diseases but also general systemic diseases of various systems In their group the morbidity rates are statistically

Mining and milling Markus Piro Ksenia Lipkina in Advances in Nuclear Fuel Chemistry 2020 Open pit mining Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface thereby producing an open pit This method is practical and cost effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface within 100 m Underground mining and ISL methods may be
Open pit mining Open pit is one of the most common mining methods used and starts from the earth s surface maintaining exposure to the surface throughout the extraction period The excavation usually has stepped sides to ensure the safety of the miners and a wide ramp where equipment can travel allowing the product to be removed efficiently
This work aimed to identify risk assessment methods specifically used in the open pit mining industry The research of information was based on the PRISMA methodology where 12 databases with the appropriate keywords were searched A total of 38 594 articles were obtained and 42 were selected after the sorting process As a disadvantage of
Open pit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining especially now that mineral processing technology has advanced to the stage where very low grade ores can be treated profitably 100 to 150 years ago this was not the case and mining was still much more selective
Open pit mining is used for the extraction of metallic and non metallic minerals however the application of this mining method in coal is less common Production tonnages for open pit mines range from less than 15 000 t metric tons /year at small iron ore operations to over 360 Mt/year at large porphyry copper operations such as Escondida in
Consequently a major key performance indicator KPI that is often overlooked in open pit mining due to a greater focus on temporal KPIs is the degree of spatial compliance to the mine plan
Alternative mining methods such as open pit mining in situ leaching and heap leaching are some options to consider Open pit mining involves removing the top layer of soil to access minerals beneath In situ leaching involves pumping a solution into ore deposits to dissolve minerals which are then brought to the surface for processing
