Note that a relatively small scale of the system in term of features and their values did not warrant automation of this approach. However, for the proposed approach to be routinely used on a large scale, a variety of text mining solutions based on distributional semantics ( [ 33, 34 ]) can be used to infer relationships between different collocates automatically.
Geotechnical Considerations in Open Pit Mines Version Department of Minerals and Energy Page 3 of 49 INTRODUCTION The potentially hazardous nature of open pit mining requires the application of sound geotechnical engineering practice to mine design and general operating procedures, to allow
however, for largescale open pit mining in particular, the truck and loaderquot; material movement practice is the preferred method of materials handling (Czaplicki, 1992; Ta et al., 2005). Throughout this paper, we consider a loaderquot; to be any type of high productivity excavating equipment, which may include a mining loader, shovel or excavator.
Openpit mining, also known as opencast or open cut mining, is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an openair pit, sometimes known as a 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
With growing public awareness of environmental issues, particularly related to the mining industry, the requirement to ensure that the smallscale open cast mine site is well managed is paramount. A methodology for the evaluation is presented along with a case study of a smallscale UG2 open cast

Mining practices of smallscale miners are mostly opencast or quarrying operations. Underground mining (stoping) methods are also commonly practised in the gold mines. Processing methods applied by smallscale miners in sand and gravel operations as well as in industrial mineral (feldspar, silica and lime) productions are generally limited to screening (sizing) and sorting, which include both
#0183;#32;The mining industry is able to guarantee constant public security during opencast mining activities and to offer an effective afteruse of the land when the mines are closed. The most important measures to that end are the building of secure slopes and tipping areas, the regulation of water quality and water balance, the creation of an attractive landscape and a balanced restoration oriented
Coal 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 ).

Discuss the negative effects of open cast mining on the environment. Answers (i) Large scale blasting of rocks leads to instability of the basement rocks. Water collects in the hallows left by open cast mines creating ponds which becomes habitats for disease causing organisms.

UG2 reefs with Cr/Fe ratios of ; these reefs are primarily exploited in South Africa for their PGM content, although use of UG2 for South African charge chrome production is on the upswing. The mining of these chrome seams is by conventional scraperwinch and handheld drill rigs where the seams are
widespread, when smallscale operations on veintype deposits prevailed. However, with rising costs, the scarcity of skilled labor and the trend toward mechanization, the method has been largely displaced by sublevel stoping and cutandfill. Sublevel stoping will therefore be the only unsupported methods examined in detail here.
Small scale working is only profitable for precious minerals. Sometimes, small deposits may be worked out profitably where transport cost is low. (iii) Method of Mining: The method of mining depends on the mode of occur#173;rence of the ores. The opencast mining is

Conventional mining In this paper conventional mining refers to the standard narrow tabular orebody mining method for which South Africa is famous. It is, and has been, widely practised throughout the industry in gold, Merensky reef, chrome reefs, and the UG2. The main advantage of conventional
