boundary Open pit mining is used for the extraction of both metallic and nonme tallic ores Open pit mining is considered different from quarrying in the sense that it selectively extracts ore rather than an aggregate or a dimensional stone product Open pit mining is applied todisseminated ore bodies or steeply dipping veins or
The cost of mining copper is cheaper as compared to other base minerals with specific respect to net realisation ratio of the value realized against the cost of extraction The equipment needed are excavators dump trucks and front end loaders which small scale miners can always outsource through hiring and buying theirs after few cycles
In hard rock mining much of the world s annual output of copper gold and iron ore is won from open pit operations Other commodities produced from open pit mining include diamonds molybdenum manganese lead and zinc uranium and a variety of industrial minerals such as borates talc and specialist clays
Feeding and conveying equipment are necessary to the mining industry to move and control material flow within a mining and processing operation to facilitate efficient operation of equipment and determine operating rates and yields In some instances secondary crushing is required prior to processing of the material
used to estimate the number of mine personnel required for mines using various mining methods Fig T is the short tons of ore mined per day W is the average stope width in feet and Nmn is the number of persons required by the mine Nmn = / for unmechanized square set mines = / for small mines resuing narrow veins

The mining industry globally is responsible for significant energy consumption and is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions Considering that future mineral demand is likely to increase and that the final energy consumption per unit mass of mineral extracted energy intensities of mining is also forecast to increase as a result of a decrease in mineral
5 The demand for copper is forecast to increase substantially to supply the materials required for the global energy transition Copper is predominantly used for copper wire in building construction electronics and transportation equipment Copper is also an integral part of the rapidly expanding Electric Vehicle EV and Renewable Energy
Conclusion for Copper Mining Equipment In short copper mining is controversial in various countries Moreover production and life are inseparable from copper On the other hand copper mining will pollute the environment Scientists are also working to find new energy sources to reduce copper mining However copper mining is inevitable no

This deposit includes two major mining areas two different copper deposits North Revir and South Revir Both deposits are studied and described in detail by Armstrong et al 2005 South Revir is the largest deposit with significant mineralization and copper occurrence the Cu Au rich massive Knez Lazar body and a number of contact skarns
The mining industry globally is responsible for significant energy consumption and is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions Considering that future mineral demand is likely to increase and that the final energy consumption per unit mass of mineral extracted energy intensities of mining is also forecast to increase as a result of a decrease in mineral
The average capital intensity for a new copper mine in 2000 was between US$4 000 5 000 to build the capacity the infrastructure to produce a tonne of copper In 2012 capital intensity was
6 Most companies mine copper as a co product in conjunction with other metals such as molybdenum zinc nickel or lead and it is typically found in large sulfide and porphyry deposits These are some of the top active copper mining operations in Canada Location 17 kilometres west of Logan Lake Mine type Open pit Commodities Copper
