A strip ratio or stripping ratio is an important measurement related to the open pit mining process It represents the amount of waste material also known as overburden that must be moved in
Auger and highwall mining has evolved from a secondary production method to become an integral part of many surface mining operations throughout the U S and the world Auger mining in the Appalachians began sometime in the mid 1940s when
Surface mining is the predominant exploitation method worldwide In the USA surface mining contributes about 85 of all minerals exploitation excluding petroleum and natural gas Almost all metallic ore 98 and non metallic ore 97 and 61 of the coal
Stripping ratio is expressed broadly as the ratio of waste to ore It s simply calculating how much waste has to be removed to expose how much of ore to be mined Stripping ratio
Explosive efficiency is the ratio of the amount of energy released to the calculated thermochemical energy Emulsions are highly efficient explosives due primarily to their microscopic particle size In contrast explosives with varying particle size such as ANFO

In surface mining operations entities may find it necessary to remove mine waste materials overburden to gain access to mineral ore deposits This waste removal activity is known as stripping There can be two benefits accruing to the entity from the stripping activity usable ore that can be used to produce inventory and improved access to further quantities of material that will be
In surface mining or quarrying oversize boulders cause delays in loading operations Boulders or oversize rocks have to be lifted out of the muckpile during digging and set aside for secondary breakage In underground mines oversize may cause hang ups in the

In mining stripping ratio or strip ratio refers to the ratio of the volume of overburden or waste material required to be handled in order to extract some tonnage of ore For example a 3 1 stripping ratio means that mining one tonne of ore will require mining three tonnes

The filling ratio was designed for deep mining based on the regression analysis of the predicted surface subsidence results The study shows that the backfilling ratio at the Tangkou deep coal mining area should be controlled at a level greater than 82 5 amp x0025 and the mining damage to the surface under this condition was analyzed
Surface mining Opencast mining otherwise known as surface mining consist of three different techniques strip mining open pit mining and mountain top blasting In general the three processes include breaking up soil and rocks via explosives and then removing debris until coal seams are exposed
In order for surface mining to be economically feasible the ratio of waste material or overburden to oil sands ore must be relatively low As the oil sands deposit gets deeper below grade more and more overburden must be removed before the valuable oil sands
Tambang terbuka open pit mining juga disebut dengan open cut mining adalah metoda penambangan yang dipakai untuk menggali mineral deposit yang ada pada suatu batuan yang berada atau dekat dengan permukaan Metoda ini cocok dipakai untuk ore
In surface mining the ore is accessed directly from the Earth s surface and contact is maintained with the surface throughout the operation Underground or subsurface mining is accomplished with the help of tunnels going into the Earth and does not occur on the

Mining Mining Surface mining It has been estimated that more than two thirds of the world s yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining There are several types of surface mining but the three most common are open pit mining strip mining and quarrying These differ from one another in the mine geometries created the techniques used and the minerals produced Open pit
Contamination of surface and underground waters often presents problems particularly with the use of lixiviants in solution mining and the run off from hydraulic mining Thanks to the increased attention from environmentalists around the world and the use of planes and aerial photography mining enterprises are no longer free to dig and run when the extraction of the desired ore has
