2016-4-5Monitoring ore loss and dilution for mine-to-mill integration in deep gold mines 150 VOLUME 116 Pitard 2009 p. 108 De Jager 2005 p. 56. From the investor perspective 40 of ore reserves are left behind as support pillars and this percentage will increase as the depth of mining increases. Of the 60 remaining and that can be
Mining dilution is one of the most important factors which affects all parameters of mining projects. It is a dangerous virus that if not controlled is rapidly spread in all stages of mining project and it can paralye the mine. According to studies carried out in this paper dilution can cause adverse impacts on the environmental economic community technical and safety issues and its
A back-propagation neural network prediction model with three layers and six neurons in the hidden layer is established to overcome the limitation of the equivalent linear overbreak slough ELOS empirical graph method in estimating unplanned ore dilution. The modified stability number hydraulic radius average deviation of the borehole and powder factor are taken as input variables and the
2017-8-19The essence of ore grade reconciliation is to identify analyse and manage variance between planned and actual results in a way that highlights opportunities. A consistent record of poor reconciliation is an indication that this variance has not been adequately managed. This would inevitably result in significant economic impact on mining companies
2018-3-191. Historically Sydvaranger trialled an open stope system for underground ore extraction which is a process of extracting the ore from an underground mine leaving behind an open space known as a stope with the roof of the mine supported by pillars. Stoping is used when the country rock is sufficiently strong not to collapse or cave into the

An operational perspective of mine backfill ML Bloss BHP Billiton Australia 1 Introduction Backfilling of voids created by mining is a fundamental component of most underground stoping operations. Without backfill these operations would be less safe less productive and shorter in life

Fill of one form or another has been used more or less throughout the history of mining. It is used to fill underground voids where the ore has been extracted either to provide a working platform from which the next slice of or can be extracted

Grade control aims to deliver adequately defined tonnes of ore to the process plant. The foundation of any grade control programme is collecting high-quality samples within a geological context. The requirement for quality samples has long been recognised in that these should be representative and fit-for-purpose. Correct application of the Theory of Sampling reduces sampling errors across
The concept is well known in underground mining scenarios and therefore this article highlights some MCF issues from a surface mine perspective using AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem mine as a case study. The mine call factor MCF at AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine from 2006 to 2012 averaged 100 1

The study revealed that fragmentation underground accumulation of ore and dilution have a significant influence on the mine call factor and mine output. It was difficult to quantify the total ore loss due to the time lag between mining and milling which is extremely
A multi-step interpolation approach was proposed to model the three-dimensional grade distribution and to demarcate orebody in a thin and anfractuous bauxite seam. A pre-mining demonstration procedure was established to virtually perform fully mechanied longwall mining in the modelled bauxite seam. Meanwhile a comprehensive evaluation function expressed by the sum of dilution and loss rates
2015-6-11optimistic perspective on predicting the potential UB using the advanced artificial neural network method. Factors that influence unplanned dilution and ore loss UB can be defined as a dynamic-type over- and underbreak that corresponds to unplanned dilution and ore loss. Numerous interacting factors affect UB. Thus the mechanism
This thesis presents the results of three years of research which focused on minimiing dilution in open stope mining. The research encompassed both stope design and narrow vein longhole blasting. A new empirical design approach has been developed for estimating unplanned dilution from open stope hangingwalls and footwalls. The resulting design charts are based on quantifiable measurements of
2019-5-29One possible estimate of this type of dilution for both underground and open pit mines can be obtained by simple geometric calculations. In the case of an open pit mine dilution and ore loss are incorporated in the resource model considering a specific bench height and
2019-6-28Overview of Ore Deposit Models. An ore deposit is a geological anomaly in which metals have been concentrated in a higher abundance than that of the neighboring parent rock. Ore is a classification of rock that describes an economically viable block from which metal or minerals can be extracted profitably
