production drifts for ore transportation, services, and ventilation [2]. In an SLC mine, the orebody is divided into several vertical intervals through several horizontal openings called production drifts. A sublevel is known as the vertical interval formed between two production drifts on different levels [7]. Subject to the mine layout

Production scheduling determines the most beneficial mining sequence over the life of a mine. Developing a schedule that meets all mining aspects can substantially reduce mining costs and increase profitability. Among all underground mining methods, the sublevel caving method is a common method with moderate development requirements, …

Ventilation in sublevel stoping is also very efficient. This is due to the large nature of stope areas and multiple stope access points. This allows for sufficient space for air to flow …

Caving Underground Mining Technology 2017, Sudbury, Canada 341 2.1 Data analysis, statistics, and variography The study data is composed of 55 synthetic drillholes that were resampled from a confidential block model of a real block caving mine; the data used is not the original (confidential) data, rather, the geostatistical

Mining technology with low disturbance to the natural environment of the mining region: The surface subsidence can be controlled by the backfilling method and caving mining. Based on the analysis of the contribution sources (agricultural production, meteorology, hydrology, and transportation), we can plan the route of heavy metal …

Conventional longwall layout (CLL) for mining coal, trona, etc. is still fraught with problems including low resource recovery, wavy ground surface subsidence, bumps or rockbursts, gateroad support and maintenance, poisonous air hazard, spontaneous combustion in coal mines, instability of equipment at inclined, or steeply inclined working …

Support requirement necessary to mine stable stop or produce caving and ground problem. Other factors such as environment, health and safety, cost, and output rate could be considered. Underground mining is divided into three broad classes: caving, stoping and other methods. Caving is

In keeping with the philosophy of designing a modern mine, ventilation on demand (VoD) is a central part of the ventilation strategy. This paper explores the feasibility and on-going …

Sublevel caving method with sill pillar is the mining process in which a level is divided into several sublevels, a bottom structure specifically used for ore removal is furnished at the …

The primary objective of this research is to provide practical mine ventilation engineering tools (i.e., cave resistances and pollutant emission rates) to model and predict adequate airflows and pressure drops across the cave with respect to cave propagation in underground block or panel cave mines. We used several research …

The Henderson mine is a panel cave mine located in the state of Colorado, about 50 miles west of Denver. The Henderson mine ventilation system has undergone multiple changes over time in response to the dynamic airflow needs of the mine. These changing requirements resulted from transitions from one panel to the next, as well as …

Konsuln mine is owned and operated by Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB), a Swedish state-owned iron ore mining company. The mine is located just south of the famous Kiruna mine, the largest underground iron ore mine in the world in terms of production, with an output of about 26.9 million tons per annum (Mtpa) …

This paper introduces the Triple-section extraction process in the three-dimensional roadway layout of stagger arrangement method for longwall top-coal caving mining. This 3-D roadway layout of ...

Figure 6 Proposed Carrapateena underground mine ventilation design layout Ventilation requirement is assessed based on the equipment, radon control, dust control, heat and other contaminants in underground mine environment. Ventilation modelling concluded it is required to have 900 m3/s at the peak period of the block cave development. The air ...

Sublevel caving method with sill pillar is the mining process in which a level is divided into several sublevels, a bottom structure specifically used for ore removal is …

sublevel layout is used. In this paper, only transverse sublevel caving is discussed, i.e. the production drifts are driven across the orebody from the footwall to the hanging wall. …

Mine ventilation; Longwall mining; Roof caving; Physical modeling 1 Introduction Ventilation is an important means of controlling gases and dusts in underground mines, and is critical to maintaining the safety and health of the underground workforce. Explosive methane gas is released during the mining process and can accumulate in areas that ...

Ventilation arrangements at the MG and face entry are critical to minimise the impact of flow separation on the dust flow patterns at the intersection. ... The top-coal caving mining method ...

Stagger arrangement technology arranges section roadway 1 under the gob of the former working face in comparison to traditional caving mining roadway layout as shown . 2, in Fig which arranges these roadways on the same horizon in thick coal seam. Coals have been mined at the top of transition supports and above section roadway 1 roof on

Complete and continuous caving is essential, since large empty spaces underground can collapse suddenly with severe after effects on the mining operation. In sublevel caving, the ore is extracted via sublevels developed in the ore body at regular intervals. Each sublevel features a systematic layout with parallel drifts along or across the ore ...

LKAB has decided to try full-scale tests with sublevel caving using 50 m height sublevels and a new layout for sublevel caving at depth known as fork layout. Currently development work is under way in a smaller orebody near the Kiruna mine to prepare for mining three sublevels: the first with 40 m height and the others with 50 m height.

The Square layout was used at El Teniente mine, specifically at Ten-5 Pilares and Quebrada Teniente sectors (Arce 2002). In Ten-5 Pilares, this layout was implemented by scraper system and in Quebrada Teniente using manual extraction. The Square layout is not typically used with LHDs in block caving mines because of operational problems
