Read MoreUnderground mining (hard rock) Underground hard rock mining refers to various underground mining techniques used to excavate hard minerals such as those containing metals like gold, copper, zinc, nickel and lead or gems such as diamonds. In contrast soft rock mining refers to excavation of softer minerals such as coal, or oil sands.
Read More· Mining produces a lot of waste which should be disposed of properly. Improper waste disposal leads to soil, water and air pollution. There are various types of mining. They include coal mining, metal, landfill mining, oil and gas extraction and non-metal ore mining. This means there are also different types of mining waste. These include: … Continue reading "Mining Waste …
Read More· On 10 August, 2012, rock drill operators at the Marikana Platinum mine in the North West province of South Africa threw down their tools in protest about wages. The strike spiralled into clashes between two rival unions – the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union – and led to the death of 35 workers and two police officers.
Read More· Continuous mining methods for underground hard-rock mining would also raise the level of productivity considerably. The environmental risks associated with in-situ mine-bed preparation by injection of explosives or other means of creating permeability will have to be evaluated.
Read More· The Mandela Mining Precinct, which was launched in September 2018, is pursuing six research areas, through three work streams and three cross-cutting initiatives aimed at extending the lives of South Africa''s underground, and often deep level gold and platinum operations, which are constrained by the above mentioned challenges.

Read More· Some variations of the room-and-pillar mining method include post room-and-pillar mining and step room-and-pillar mining. Post room-and-pillar mining is a combination of room-and-pillar mining and cut-and-fill stoping mining, whereas step room-and-pillar mining is a variation of room-and-pillar mining in which the footwall of an inclined ore body is adapted for use of trackless equipment.
Read MoreNew mechanical and hybrid platinum mining methods are becoming more popular. One method consists of drilling, either with pneumatic drills or newer specialized drilling equipment, and then cleaning the ore from the mine using low-profile vehicles called LHD (load-haul-dump) machines.
Read MoreRoom-and-pillar mining is suitable for tabular bodies of room height but leaves about 40% of the rock in place while exploiting the other half. This procedure is an inefficient method of resource development but is nevertheless economically suitable for tabular seams, particularly if the seams are narrow.
