It presents a method adopted to evaluate the impact of increased scale on operational performance factors. The work identifies equipment size sensitive variables (ESSVs) in the mine design process that affect the performance of …
Open-pit mining or opencast mining refers to a method of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or borrow. It is a form of surface mining. The term is used to differentiate this form of mining from extractive methods that require tunneling into the earth, like longwall mining.. Open-pit mines are used when …
Mining companies are increasingly being challenged to improve energy efficiency, as a method of reducing both the cost and environmental impact of their operations. The haulage activity at an open-pit mine represents a large proportion of total energy consumption.
Efficient mining companies design their mine to fit the natural formations they are trying to reach and the materials they are trying to extract. Miners are usually involved in almost all of the processes in the life of a typical mine, from exploration to construction and extraction. ... Open pit and underground mines are often in remote ...
Since the end of the last century, a significant number of hydraulic excavators have arrived on Russian quarries. Most of these excavators are equipped with backhoe operating equipment. The widespread use of such excavators in open-pit mining proves their exceptional efficiency. However, at the s...
The design of a haul road for an open-pit mine can significantly affect the cost associated with hauling ore and waste to the surface. This study proposes a new method for haul road design in open-pit mines to support efficient truck haulage operations. The road layout in open-pit mines was optimized by using raster-based least-cost path analysis, and the …
Many studies covered optimization and improving the efficiency of truck-shovel operations. Decreasing operating costs is vital for mining companies to remain profitable and feasible. Truck-shovel operations efficiency affects the complete mining operation, from equipment performance through productivity to the final mill throughput.
