WhatsAppMining is the process of extracting minerals like gold, silver, copper, nickel and uranium (metallic) and salt, potash, coal and oil (nonmetallic) formations that concentrate naturally in the earth. 3. Two types of mining methods : Surface Mining : 1. Alluvial mining 2. Opencast mining Underground mining. 4.
WhatsAppOpenpit, opencast or open cut mining is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or borrow.. This form of mining differs from extractive methods that require tunnelling into the earth, such as long wall mines are used when deposits of commercially useful ore or rocks are found near the surface.

WhatsAppDrilling is one of these activities. During opencast coal mining, several benches must be created in both the overburden strata and the coal seam. A drilling operation is required where the overburden is hard. As a primary operation, drilling affects both the production and overall operating costs (Afeni 2009). The efficiency of the drilling operation depends primarily on energy consumption
WhatsAppPerformance Measurement of Mining Equipments by Utilizing OEE Sermin Elevli1 and Birol Elevli2 Over the past century, open pit mines have steadily increased their production rate by using larger equipments which require intensive capital investment. Low commodity prices have forced companies to decrease their unit cost by improving productivity. One way to improve productivity is to utilize

WhatsAppDrilling and blasting are the two most significant operations in open pit mines that play a crucial role in downstream stages. While previous research has focused on optimizing these operations as two separate parts or merely in a specific parameter, this paper proposes a system dynamic model (SDM) for drilling and blasting operations as an interactive system.

WhatsAppCoal is mined either by surface methods (opencut or opencast mining) or by underground techniques. In surface mining, all of the rock from the ground surface to the top of the seam (material referred to as overburden) is removed and set aside to expose the coal, which is then taken out and transported from the mine for preparation and use ( Figure 11 ).

WhatsAppOpenpit mining Openpit mining is a type of strip mining in which the ore deposit extends very deep in the ground, necessitating the removal of layer upon layer of overburden and ore. In many cases, logging of trees and clearcutting or burning of vegetation above the ore deposit may precede removal of the overburden. The
