Mining Sites: The Transition from Open-Pit to Underground …

This transition from open-pit to underground begins when open-pit mines are exhausted or inaccessible; meaning, they have either been depleted of minerals, rocks, and resources, or they are unfeasible to build upon. Once the decision is made to change from open-pit to underground mining, there are several approaches: miners can build spiral ...

Ultimate Pit Size Selection

A major step in open pit mine planning and design is to define the ultimate expansion of the mine, often called the final or ultimate pit. When it comes to final pit selection there is usually more than one option to choose from. Most deposits support a range of sizes of pits that all are technically mineable and economically profitable.

Coal mining

In open-pit coal mines, the haul units for overburden material are usually large, off-highway, end-dumping trucks; their capacities range from 35 to 250 tons. The stripping shovel has a large bucket, usually sits in the pit on the top of the coal seam, digs into the overburden material, and deposits it in the adjacent mined-out area. Draglines

Open pit mining. This type of mining is used for near-surface deposits, primarily metal and nonmetal. The overburden is hauled away to a waste area and a large pit is excavated into the orebody. The depth of the pit is increased by removing material in successive benches. A few examples of commodities mined by this method would include iron and ...

Open pit mines are used to exploit low grade, shallow ore bodies. However, some pits are quite deep – about 1 km. The mining rate is greater than 20,000 tonnes per day (tpd) but is usually much greater. Some pits operate at a rate of more than 100,000 tpd Open pit mining results in two waste streams: waste rock which contains no economic
