Methods and Techniques of Uranium Mining | nuclear …
Open pit mining. In open pit mining, overburden is removed by drilling and blasting to expose the ore body, which is then mined by blasting and excavation using loaders and dump trucks. Open pit mines require large holes on the surface, larger than the size of the ore deposit, since the pit's walls must be sloped to prevent collapse. In 2012 ...

Open-pit Mining
The open-pit mining cycle includes drilling ore and waste rock, loading drill holes with explosives, blasting, ore loading and hauling to stockpiles for processing, waste rock loading and hauling to the waste rock storage pile. Occasionally, drilling and blasting ore is not required and can simply be removed by what is known as free digging.

High Precision Drilling for Blast optimization in Mining
How precise can high precision drilling achieve in open pit mining? High precision drilling techniques can achieve remarkable levels of accuracy, often reaching 2-centimeter precision. Practically, you would never need more than 10 centimeter precision since when you blast, the ore body moves and the boundaries need to be re-calibrated.

Chapter Open Pit Mining
Introduction. Open pit mining is defined as the method of extracting any near surface ore deposit using one or more horizontal benches to extract the ore while dumping overburden and tailings (waste) at a specified disposal site outside the final pit boundary. Open pit mining is used for the extraction of both metallic and nonme-tallic ores.

The Value of Additional Drilling to Open Pit Mining Projects
Abstract. The value of a mining project is based upon a quantitative model of material of value in the ground, a block model of the deposit, and a schedule for extracting this material including relevant revenues and costs. The schedule usually attempts to maximise the net present value (NPV) of the project over the life of the mine.
