<p>A large number of South Africa&rsquo;s open pit mines are located in fractured rock. Analytical solutions to pit flooding mainly make use of the Dupuit-Forchheimer approximation. A typical example of such a solution is the solution proposed by Marinelli ...

<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>During the last few years, most production-based businesses have been under enormous pressure to improve their top-line growth and bottom-line savings. As a result, many companies are turning to systems and technologies that can help optimise their supply ...

<p>Real time monitoring of process parameters inside the underground or open cast mines in a reliable manner is a technical challenge for the mine industry. Real time monitoring can provide accurate information about different critical mining parameters like ...

This study has integrated a range of geoscientific evidence in order to constrain the spatial and temporal development of the reactivated catastrophic landslide at Eisenberg in North Bohemia.

<p>This paper presents a case of a lignite mine in Northern Greece with excavated slopes exceeding 100-120m in depth in which substantial movement is occurring, with an average rate 10-20mm/day. The Mavropigi mine is very important for the power supply of ...

<p>For the purpose of production scheduling, open-pit mines are discretized into three-dimensional arrays known as block models. Production scheduling consists of deciding which blocks should be extracted, when they should be extracted, and what to do with ...

This paper documents the development of a South African innovation, a remote-controlled mechanical highwall scaler, a world first for the mining industry. The scaler will enable open-pit highwalls to be scaled from crest to toe whenever the need arises. It ...

<p>At present, slope is one of the three major sources of geological disasters, and disasters caused by slope happened frequently. The index system of rock slope safety for open pit mine was comprehensively researched by the model of fuzzy evaluation and ...

Slopes in open pit mines must be considered as geotechnical structures. Therefore their design and implementation must be conducted with all consideration including technical, economical, environmental and safety issues. But these structures are above all ...
