It is ranked as the world's largest producer of synthetic crude from oil sands and the biggest single source in Canada. The consortium runs three separate mines – the original Base Mine ...
ادامه مطلبCut and Fill. It is a short-hole mining method, used in ore zones that are irregular or steeply dipping. The ore is dug out in slightly inclined slices or horizontally. And sand will fill it, waste rock, or tailing. This method is a selective and expensive one. It has the advantages of low ore dilution and loss.
ادامه مطلبMining technologies and processes. Currently there are four large-scale industrial mines (two in gold production and two producing iron ore) operating in Liberia with several others into exploration and mine development for both gold, but mainly iron ore (Table 1).Open cut mining method is generally employed by the operators.

ادامه مطلبOpen-pit mining. Open-pit mining is the activity of removing the earth to access the mineral deposits and continuing to do it vertically in an open-pit. This method is best suited for mineral deposits that are close to the surface of the earth but are not accumulated in a horizontal manner. Open-pit mining often impacts a narrower surface area.
ادامه مطلب4. Although the basic concept of an open pit is quite simple, the planning required to develop a large deposit for surface mining is a very complex and costly undertaking. At one mine, it may be desirable to plan for blending variations in the ore so as to maintain, as nearly as possible, a uniform feed to the mill. At another operation it may …
ادامه مطلبMINING AND PROCESSING: Iron ore mining can be broadly divided into two categories namely 1) manual mining which is employed in small mines and 2) mechanized mining is suitable for large iron ore mines. Manual mining method is normally limited to float ores and small mines. Mining of reef ore is also being done manually on a small scale.
