<p>Mining exploration is widely spread throughout Kazakhstan and it is an important part of the country&rsquo;s economy. However, mining can create landslides, as well as both surface and groundwater pollution.<br />The purpose of this research is to model ...

<p>This paper explores the potential of using satellite radar inteferometry to monitor time-varying land movement prior to any visible tension crack signs. The idea was developed during dedicated geotechnical studies at a large open-pit lignite mine, where ...

<p>Diminishing surficial mineral deposits, increasing environmental regulation and advanced geological exploration techniques are ushering in a new era of mining. Unconventional technology must be adopted to ensure that safe, efficient and responsible access ...

Manual for Complex Grid Generation for Mining&amp; Petroleum Geomechanics.

Mining has been a part of Greek civilization since before 1,000 B.C when Greeks first began extracting industrial minerals and metals for use. In 2010, the mining industry was regulated by the Mining Code, Legislative Decree 210/1973, as amended by a number ...

Each year more than 400 coal miners are injured (fatal and non-fatal) by rock falling from between or around roof supports. Many of these injuries could be prevented by the installation of roof screen (wire mesh). However, many coal mines may be reluctant ...

Proposed mining projects vary according to the type of metals or materials to be extracted from the earth. The majority of proposed mining projects involve the extraction of ore deposits such as copper, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum, ...

<p>While mining the approved stope sequence in the 100/900 ore bodies at the North Mine in Sudbury Basin of Vale Inco Ltd and following a crown blast in one of the stopes in 100 orebody in a sill pillar area, several major seismic events, with the highest ...

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 ...

Coda waves are highly sensitive to changes in the subsurface; we use this sensitivity to monitor small stress changes in an underground mine. We apply coda wave interferometry to seismic data excited by a hammer source, collected at an experimental hard rock ...
