P/NAV is the most important mining valuation metric, period. "Net asset value" is the net present value (NPV) or discounted cash flow (DCF) value of all the future cash flow of the mining asset less any debt plus any cash. The model can be forecast to the end of the mine life and discounted back today because the technical reports have a ...

Mining - Dredging, Extraction, Reclamation: Dredging is the underwater excavation of a placer deposit by floating equipment. Dredging systems are classified as mechanical or hydraulic, depending on the method of material transport. The bucket-ladder, or bucket-line, dredge has been the traditional placer-mining tool, and it is still the most flexible method …

Miners enjoy a lunch break in the makeshift crib rooms at one of Illawarra Coal's underground mines in Australia. See more mining pictures. . Andy Zakeli/Fairfax Media via Getty Images . In 2010, people everywhere were riveted to the story of the 33 miners in Chile trapped 2,300 feet (700 meters) underground in a copper and gold mine. …

Underground mine backfilling is a form of ground improvement that has to be carried out in the mine sites. The backfilling provides ground support and regional stability, thus facilitating ore removal from nearby regions. The large underground voids created by the ore removal are backfilled with the waste tailings in the form of paste fills, hydraulic …

The elevation and location of the pit bottom and the surface intercepts from each section are transferred.

Mine drainage is metal-rich water formed from a chemical reaction between water and rocks containing sulfur-bearing minerals. The resulting chemicals in the water are sulfuric acid and dissolved iron. Some or all of this iron can come out as solids to form the red, orange, or yellow sediments in the bottom of streams containing mine drainage.
