<p>The Barapukuria Coalfield is only production coalfield in Bangladesh with coal deposit area of approximately 6.25 km2. Geologically, the coal basin is a singular syncline in which coal occurs at shallower depth at the northern part and deeper depth at the ...

<p>Presently, due to ever-increasing demand of minerals for the country, it is very much required to have the opencast mines at a greater depth. Increasing depth also increased the severity of slope stability problems of the opencast mines. Unlike the previous ...

This paper provides a general description of thegeotechnical study carried out for Rajo Sur project, including geological and geotechnical characterizations of the site, slope stabilityanalyses, particularly insectors next to the subsidence crater, and proposed ...

<p>The Manual represents guidance for designers, coal operators, and regulators to meet the requirements of 30 C.F.R. 77.216(a) in designing, constructing, and maintaining dams at coal mines. The guidance provides information and suggested methods and procedures ...

<p>The Sukari project, which is owned by Centamin Egypt Ltd, is located in southern Egypt, 770 km south of Cairo but close to the Red Sea. The project is the first new gold development in Egypt and was commissioned in the middle of 2009.<br />In 2007, Centamin ...

<p>The paper argues that, due to challenges such as large uncertainty and presence of ill-posed problems, simple models are well suited to mining geomechanics. It builds its case by defining what models are, outlining the usefulness of simple models, and explaining ...

This paper presents results of a project undertaken to monitor, review and optimize the trim blasting and pre-splitting processes at Orapa Diamond Mine in Botswana. The project was specifically incepted to improve the final wall conditions, which continued ...

A 3D multi-parameter model has application for any major mining venture that requires a detailed understanding of the variability in rock mass conditions. These models give engineers a tool whereby they can assess the spatial variability of the rock mass information ...

Closure of underground mine openings by filling, plugging, capping, installing barriers, gating or fencing.

Sandsloot open pit is located on the northern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. It is the largest open pit platinum mine in the world. Three major joint sets have been recognized at Sandsloot, which are related to the regional tectonic history. They have ...
