Konkola Copper Mine's Number 4 Shaft is a trackless underground mine applying sublevel open stoping (SLOS) mining method. Number 4 shaft wants to increase ore production from 1 million metric tonnes per annum to 3 million metric tonnes per annum in the next 5 years but ore recovery is 70% or less and dilution is 20% or more.
In order to smooth ore production during the transition from open pit to underground mining at Yanqianshan Iron Mine, China, it is necessary to select an appropriate mining method to operate simultaneously open-pit mining and underground mining for inner-slope (hanging-wall) ore-body. Based on practical geologic setting of the hanging-wall ore …
It is a method of ore mining that divides the ore block into an ore room and a pillar during the mining process. The stope is mined in two steps. It exists in an open way and mainly relies on the strength of ore and the pillar support capacity to maintain the stability of the stope, also called the natural support mining method.
Mines that make use of an open stoping mining method aim to extract only the ore, leaving the waste behind. Many orebodies have well-defined boundaries between the ore and the waste rock. In such orebodies, the introduction of waste into the ore due to overbreak dilutes the grade. In massive disseminated orebodies, dilution is less problematic.
In this bulletin the subject of ore dressing is approached from the economic rather than from the technological standpoint, and the supporting data have been compiled with a view to their bearing upon the economic exploitation of ore deposits. Results obtained are stressed rather than the details of processes and the physics and chemistry involved. For discussions …
Sublevel stoping Sublevel stoping is a mining method in which ore is blasted from different levels of elevation but is removed from one level at the bottom of the mine. Before mining begins, an ore pass is usually drilled from a lower to a higher elevation. Jumbos selectively drill holes into the roof of the drift and fill them with explosives ...
respectively. The mine uses four different mining methods: sublevel open stoping in zones A and B; drift and fill mining in zone C; narrow vein mining in zone C; Alimak mining in zones A and B. This paper focuses on the sublevel open stoping mining used in zone A. In this method, top and bottom accesses are mined to reach the sublevel open stope.

Processing titanium ore includes several stages for extracting titanium and turning it into a final product. Our company has developed 2 main concepts for dressing titanium ores, the main feature of which is the method of obtaining ilmenite concentrate: 1. Scheme of magnetic, flotation, and electrostatic separation: 2.
2.2.1 Sublevel Open-Stoping and Caving Mining Method (I) The main feature of sublevel open-stoping and caving mining method is to extract the hanging-wall ore-body by sublevel stoping incorporated with caving. While open-pit is operating, the ore-body can be mined out by sublevel open-stoping method, as shown in Fig. 2.
room-and-pillar method, breast stoping (overall mining method), the filling method, longwall caving. In order to improve mining efficiency, various mining methods have been proposed, and some of them have proved efficient in mining practice over the last decade (Yi & Wang 2007; Zhou et al. 2010; Yang & Yuan 2013; Guo et al. 2014).
The open stoping mining method is unique in that it does not require artificial support. There are four types of open stope mining: Overhand stoping. Overhand stoping is an open stope mining method that works the ore deposit from the bottom upward. With the drill and blast technique, this is the typical direction used to create a stope.
A probabilistic benchmarking method is used to estimate benchmark stability stoping widths and benchmark average stoping width for three commonly used narrow vein longhole blast patterns. Average stoping widths for inline, staggered and dice-5 blast patterns have been estimated at 1 ?3, 1 ?5 and 1 ?7 m respectively. Average stoping width can be
Stoping is very development intensive, although the cost of development is finally compensated by the fact that much of it is done in ore. Efficient use of large-scale blasting makes stoping method one of the lowest-cost underground mining methods available (Hartman, 1992). Several variations of open stoping have evolved due to modern technology.

A detailed review of CRF practices is presented in Section 3. 2 Review of Paste Fill Practice [1] Paste fill is the most popular backfilling method used for open stoping mining method with delayed backfill. It requires mill tailings to be used as a raw ...
While this technique is typically used for shallower deposits, it is still a form of underground mining rather than surface mining.. The main difference is that in surface mining, extracting ore bodies takes place from an open access point at the mine's surface.. In underground mining techniques such as cut-and-fill stoping, the ore body is extracted from …
The stoping work of the shrinkage mining method is conducted in layers from bottom to top with layer height of 2–3 m generally. The stoping face is mostly trapezoidal, and the stoping in each layer includes rock drilling, blasting, ventilation, local ore drawing, flatbacking flat fields, and heightening the square-set raise in the absence of rib pillar.
Effect on Recovery in Ore-Dressing Plant The stoping method may affect the percentage of ore minerals recovered in the ore-dressing plant, especially where certain sulfide ores are concentrated by flotation. Thus, a stoping method that permits immediate removal of the ore after it is broken so as to preclude its partial oxidation before it goes ...
INTRODUCTION One basic design feature utilized in all caving and sublevel stoping techniques is the drawpoint. These draw- points may be located on sublevels when using sublevel caving methods, or may be located at the floor pillar when using block caving, sublevel stoping, or vertical crater retreat methods. How the drawpoint is designed and developed, how the ore is …

The term "top slicing" is applied to the method of mining whereby the ore is extracted by excavating a series of horizontal (sometimes inclined) timbered slices alongside each other, beginning at the top of the ore body and working progressively downward; the slices are caved by blasting out the supporting timbers or allowing them to crush ...
Since the 1970s, the sublevel stoping mining method (Fig. 1) has been an open stope mining method with relatively advanced technology, high mechanization and efficiency, reasonable safety, and low loss for the application of trackless excavating equipment in the underground.Its main features include: (1) The stage height is 40–60 m and can be classified …
