One of the main objectives of optimization which dominates the long term mine planning is the minimization of the production life cycle cost. Transportation cost (investment and operating) represents a significant percentage (usually more than 50%) of the total production cost in continuous surface mining systems that have less flexibility than the non-continuous …

Continuous Surface Mining or Drill and Blast Mining?

You have two main options when it comes to mining: You can drill and blast with explosives and size the rock with a primary crusher, or you can use a continuous surface mining (CSM) method. But there are certain mining sites that require the capabilities of both methods. Here are examples of how and when to consider using both continuous surface …

Mining-induced surface subsidence

Subsidence can be regarded as being of two types - continuous and discon tinuous. Continuous or trougb subsidence involves the formation of a smooth surface subsidence profile that is free of step changes (Fig. 16.1). The resulting displacements of surface points may be of only elastic orders of magnitude

Everything you need to know about continuous surface mining

Continuous surface mining is a method of mineral extraction that uses specialized equipment instead of explosives. Surface miners cut through the ground in a methodical, row-by-row and layer-by-layer manner, which results in a more controlled and efficient mining process. This approach has numerous advantages, including the ability to produce ...
